In what way does the physical therapy help? This may sound like a silly question but when I suggested PT to my husband's Neurologist, he said, "That will be ok if you want it for him". Giving me the impression he was just pleasing me but that it wasn't that necessary. My husband has pick up the doctors attitude---They both feel that I'm not accepting the fact that he has PD. Not true, I'm just the type to try anything that may work. He is doing well. He works everyday & his PD seems to be progressing slowly. (but it is progressing) Recently, he is having difficulty putting on a coat etc------Also, his slow movements are questioned by people who don't know that he has PD. Loretta CG for John 65/6
