The Most Common Myths About

Parkinson's

You've Been Told By Doctors, Friends and Social Media That Keep You In Pain and Worsen Your Condition

Speak To The #1 Parkinson's Expert In Glasgow and Stirlingshire

There are many myths about Parkinson’s that you may have heard before and thought they were true.

Unfortunately, a lot of these outdated myths can lead to even more pain and slow down your recovery.

Here are 4 of the most damaging, and widespread myths you should know about.

MYTH #1 - Medication Is The Only Treatment For Parkinson's
Many people believe that if they suffer from Parkinson's then taking medication is all they can do to get better. They think that medication is the only thing they can do and that in the end, their symptoms will get worse anyway. That's not true. There are other things you can do to help yourself. Don't wait months for a referral to speak to someone about other options. You can improve your symptoms through physical therapy specific to Parkinson's patients' needs. We've seen some amazing improvement with our patients over the years, but it takes time and dedication to do the exercises you need to be doing to get better and slow down the progression of your condition.
MYTH #2 - Life Just Gets Worse After Parkinson's Diagnosis
When you get diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, it's really important that you get the right medical and emotional support to understand your options and get your head in the right space. Many people get depressed and they think that their lives are over because of their Parkinson's, but it doesn't have to be like this. Don't turn your head to the wall and wait for your condition to worsen, because you think there isn't any other solution. You're not destined to live a miserable and limiting life because of your Parkinson's. We have a proven track record of helping our patients get better and return to doing things they love. Get support as early as you can before your condition gets worse without an appropriate plan of care.
MYTH #3 - Pain Is Normal When Living With Parkinson's
A lot of people with Parkinson's think that having aches and pain is a normal part of this, but that's not always true. There are things we can't fix, but a lot of the time we can help people with Parkinson's disease get support and get back to doing all sorts of activities. I understand that it's probably all new to you and you must be worried about your future, but we can give you some clarity on what's happening and what should your goals be for the near future. Don't wait for it to get better on its own, because it won't. Get in touch with our expert team and find out how we can help you improve the quality of your life with Parkinson's.
MYTH #4 - You Shouldn't Be Exercising With Parkinson's
You may have heard that you're not supposed to exercise with Parkinson's but it's just bad advice people give out. You need to keep exercising, moving, and doing the right things. At the age of 40, we start losing muscle mass, so it's important to do strength and resistance training to be able to stay active and independent. It doesn't mean we will have you exercising for hours and sweating. We will give you the right exercises that your body can manage to do. The stronger you are, the more flexible you are, the better chances you have to stay active and independent.
