Physical Therapy for Parkinson's Disease

At Capstone Physical Therapy & Fitness, we understand the challenges individuals with Parkinson's disease face. Our specialized physical therapy programs are designed to address the unique needs of Parkinson's patients, aiming to enhance mobility, balance, and overall quality of life.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. Its symptoms typically develop slowly over time, and include tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and balance issues. These symptoms can significantly impact daily life, making tasks like walking, writing, or even speaking challenging.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Understanding Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease is characterized by the gradual loss of nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine, a chemical that helps control movement. As dopamine levels drop, symptoms like tremors, rigidity, and difficulty with balance and coordination become more pronounced. Managing Parkinson's disease requires a multifaceted approach, with physical therapy playing a crucial role in improving mobility, enhancing balance, and maintaining overall quality of life.

Capstone is the best. It’s like having a personal therapist. Best evaluation I ever had. Very dedicated to improve your situation. They listen and custom fit the exercises.

Mary Anne Wylie Patient

I have gone to Capstone for my PT on two different injuries over the past 6 years. They are large enough to offer all the equipment and services needed in the PT world today, yet small enough to treat you as an individual. I use the location at SPIN and it is very clean. The techs and staff are welcoming & professional. I would highly recommend Capstone to anyone looking for personal attention with a plan designed to your individual needs.

Dave Pogson Patient

Everyone at Capstone was super professional, knowledgeable and really listened to my feedback. I feel my injury recovery was accelerated through Capstone’s advice and the expertise of my Physical Therapist. The environment is ultra clean and spacious with many support equipment devices readily available. Excellent care here!

Kam Salisbury Patient

Mark and Capstone were an absolute game-changer for me. They proved instrumental in my journey from a nagging knee injury sustained during last year’s NYC marathon to achieving a sub-4 hour marathon milestone in Berlin this year. Mark’s diagnostic precision and customized rehabilitation plan ensured a pain-free training season. However, it’s Mark’s unwavering commitment and sports science knowledge that truly set him apart. Under his guidance, I not only conquered my injury, but also gained insights into injury prevention, enabling peak performance. Thanks to Mark, I achieved what once felt impossible. For those seeking a physical therapist who seamlessly blends expertise with genuine care, Capstone is a testament to his passion for making goals a reality.

Brian Patient

I went to Capstone after having knee replacement surgery. Mark and his staff in Southampton and Philadelphia are very professional, and knowledgeable. At the same time, somehow they manage to make physical therapy enjoyable. I would highly recommend Capstone, and I would certainly go there should I need physical therapy again.

Christine Hill Patient

This is my third experience at Capstone over as many years. I’ve seen Mark for a serious fall, post knee replacement & most recently, for shoulder pain. I’m an active 71 y.o. who likes to move, and with Mark’s help, I intend to keep on moving! Mark is a true professional & compassionate person whose understanding of the kinetics of the human body is on a par, if not surpasses, some physicians I’ve encountered.

Lori Mu Patient

My husband and I are new to the Northeast and found ourselves in need of physical therapists. After a disappointing experience at another provider, we found Capstone. We are so glad we did. We always received personal service, and never felt rushed at Capstone. The entire staff was 5 star. If you're looking for personalized care - not a rushed physical therapy factory - look no further than Capstone.

Paul Ferdinand Patient

Mark and the entire team were great. They were able to diagnose my sports injury and had an action plan ready in no time. It's so comforting to know that you're passionate experts in here. Would definitely recommend

Kam Salisbury Patient

Went to Capstone with some nerve pain in my left side hip radiating all the way to my foot. I went in thinking I'd have to make an appointment or even wait for insurance ok, but I was evaluated and received my first treatment that afternoon. My therapist Jacqueline put me on track with the right stretches and exercises at the facility and at home to get me feeling better with time and patience. Everyone here is personable, upbeat and experienced. My only regret was trying to work thru the pain and not going to them sooner.

Ron Long Patient

Came in for lower back and glut pain. Received amazing treatment that helped improve my situation drastically. Their customer service is immaculate. They explained every step of the way and allowed plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Love this place. I definitely recommend giving them a shot.

Jesus Disla Patient

Simply the best Physical Therapy you’ll ever receive. If you have any kind of physical issues you need to call Katie and make and appointment. Mark and his crew sure know how to make you feel welcome. They are very professional and the facility is clean and organized. You will be stronger and healthier immediately.

Kim Romani Patient

Capstone is the best. It's like having a personal therapist. Best evaluation I ever had. Very dedicated to improve your situation. They listen and custom fit the exercises. Brian was caring and attentive to your needs.

Mary Anne Wylie Patient

There is no one as good as Mark in the area. He is a natural. Do not hesitate to choose Capstone for your pain relief/ recovery. They are a very kind, inviting group too. I can't explain how important it is to look forward to your appointments- calming and inviting.There is no one as good as Mark in the area. He is a natural.
