What Other People Just Like You Are Saying About Simpson Physiotherapy in Glasgow...

A Message From Fraser Simpson, Parkinson's Disease Specialist Neurophysiotherapist

Dear Frustrated Reader With Parkinson's Disease,

Have you or your loved one been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease?
Are you worried about how your symptoms are progressing and medications seem to be the only way to manage your symptoms
Are you fearful or anxious about what the future will look like as your symptoms progress and you start to lose your independence?
Are you frustrated that you are not getting the support you need to exercise the right way and keep your independence keep the next one as is ?Do you ever feel like you are missing out on life, and being held back from enjoying time with your family and friends because of complications with Parkinson's?
Are you still looking for a long term solution to support independence and life with Parkinson's Disease?
Have you heard of PD Warrior but you are unsure what it is and how it can help you?
Have you recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease? and think that the medications are working great so I don't need to worry about all this exercise and PD Warrior stuff just now - this is absolutely 100% wrong, I urge you to please read on.

If any of this sounds like you and you are looking for the best support, advice and exercises to help improve your symptoms and your life with Parkinson's Disease, then you have come to the right place.

You see, many people with Parkinson's Disease struggle unnecessarily with PD symptoms because they think or have been told...

"There's no cure, so you just have to live with it and take the medications"
Medications are the only way to help my symptoms
Just “rest for a little” and “see what happens”
"There is nothing that can be done, so just accept it"
"Here's a walking aid, just use that and accept that your symptoms are getting worse”
"You have Parkinson's Disease, so you can't do ......"

The Truth Is...

Specialist Support for your Life with Parkinson’s Disease is available
Rest does NOT help or change anything – it makes things worse, NOT better
Medications ON THEIR OWN are absolutely NOT the best way to maintain your independence and stay active
The best way is to stay active with THE RIGHT KIND of exercises specifically for Parkinson's Disease with a Specialist

At Simpson Physiotherapy we help adults living with Parkinson’s Disease to get the right support and advice to get active right way, to help reduce and manage many of the symptoms of PD and help you stay active, independent and enjoy your life, despite living with Parkinson’s.

We know it can be very confusing to decide exactly what you should do if you have Parkinson’s Disease. There’s so much information out there, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and do nothing. Maybe…

You have seen another physiotherapist or healthcare provider in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to have long-lasting benefit
You tried to 'self treat' using Youtube video exercises and 'walking a bit more', but you haven't seen much, if any, improvement
You have finished your 'alloted' sessions through the NHS and don't know where to go now
You have heard of PD Warrior, but you don’t know how it can help you
You are doing other exercise classes specific for PD, so you think you don’t need PD Warrior

It’s overwhelming to try to make a decision with all the conflicting advice out there. What will happen if you don’t make the right one?

Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action.

When it comes to supporting your life with Parkinson’s Disease…

It is VITAL to choose the right specialist provider for your health. It is so important to have the support of a physiotherapist who specialises in supporting people with Parkinson’s Disease trained in PD Warrior Methodology.

At Simpson Physiotherapy we have been trained to Level 2 of the Parkinson’s Disease Methodology. This is a fantastic and transformational approach to supporting people living with PD. Getting you to take charge of your life with the Right advice, Right support and the RIGHT exercises for you as an individual.

Step #1 - We want (And Need) to listen to your story

This is one of our BIGGEST pet peeves. Nobody has the time to speak with you about your concerns anymore. Unfortunately, we all know how stretched our healthcare system is, everyone is so time poor that we feel we don’t want to pester or burden people with our problems. Besides, we secretly hope they we will get better without having to work at it if we just leave it for long enough!

However, for us to help you properly, we need and want to get to know you and your story. We take the time to listen to you and get to know every single person we work with. This is absolutely essential in helping you get better and make positive improvements in your life and independence.

If we are unable to help or we are not the best provider for you, we will most likely be able to tell you once we have had a chance to speak with you over the phone.

Step #2 - Tailor the treatment to the individual

Every person living with PD is unique, with different symptoms and abilities, difficulties, needs and Goals.

We want to know YOUR GOALS – what do you want to do achieve or be able to do better than what you are able to do right now.

Your treatment is tailored specifically to you, your symptoms, your abilities and YOUR GOALS.

We want to help you achieve your goals and help you live your best life despite PD.

Step #3 - TEACH YOU TO TREAT YOURSELF!

We absolutely make sure that what we do together in treatment is teach you the best way to help yourself. We want you to know how to take the exercises and principles that we teach and adapt them to your life situations, giving you the confidence to try new things or get back to doing more of what you love. We want you thinking ‘How can I…’ rather than ‘I can’t because I have PD’.

One final word from me.

I am always deeply humbled when I work with people living with Parkinson’s Disease. The resilience and determination they show me every single day is truly inspiring. I am continually impressed by what they push themselves to achieve and I am so glad I am able to help them get there.

I really want you to know that you can achieve so much more than you think. If you or your loved one is living with PD and you do absolutely nothing else after reading this, please, please, please visit www.pdwarrior.com there is a wealth of information, support and a world wide community dedicated to helping people just like you Live Your Best Life.

You don’t have to sacrifice your lifestyle over problems that can be treated.
