Can physical therapy help with Alzheimer’s disease? That is a common question I get from family members and\/or clients taking a tour of Back In Motion, Sarasota Physical Therapy. Alzheimer’s disease can be a chronic, progressive, degenerative condition that causes people to slowly yet gradually lose their memory and, eventually after a period of time,the patients can slowly lose control over other bodily functions. It is considered by many a disease that can void independence & dignity from those who acquire Alzheimer’s disease.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Traditional medicine has been unable to find a cure, although it is possible to slow down the rate at which the disease progresses. Exercise helps maintain quality of life, and it becomes even more important as the disease progresses.<\/p>\n
