I'd suggest looking for a Physical Therapist (PT) who specializes in Parkinson's. You can google search for Parkinson's Physical Therapists in your area, but look for certifications after their name like:
LSVT Big Certified
Board Certified NCS (Neurologic Clinical Specialist)
You can also ask your neurologist for a recommendation. I hope that helps!About 2 years ago, I received a life-altering diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease. The treatment, primarily Carbadopa-Levadopa however, wasn't effective, leading to a hospitalization. This experience prompted me to seek a second opinion, which revealed a different culprit: Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Be sure to get a second opinion. I saw a movement specialist who diagnosed PSP in 20 minutes. See my whole story at https://bit.ly/3TQRHaE
