Stay Independent and Mobile

The first signs of Parkinson's disease are usually slowed movements and increasingly stiff muscles. Many affected individuals worry about having to give up their daily routines or hobbies. They also fear becoming reliant on others for help or even becoming dependent on care.

Occupational therapist Julia Sternheimer-Völcker specializes in the care of Parkinson's patients and understands the challenges they face in everyday life. Her specially developed tips and tricks help patients perform difficult movements correctly and maintain their independence.

The program enables patients to:

• Execute complex movements independently
• Apply techniques that make everyday situations easier, such as unloading the dishwasher or using a computer mouse
• Lead an independent life for as long as possible

Exercises tested by Parkinson's patients that make life easier.
