my husband has been to a neuto physio . He found them most helpfuland understanding .
He has recently had a kneecap replacement on top of the Parkinsons and so hasnt been able to get about at all . Obviously he has become more apprehensive and afraid to walk outside ..
The physio gave him some exercises mainly for his balance . It's very early days and his knee is improving very slowly its 4 months since the op , but i do think the balance exercise is helping his confidence
