The Parkinson's rehabilitation programme at PYONG Rehabilitation

Cared for by a specialist medical team, with advanced technology, in the centre of Bangkok

Why choose PYONG Rehabilitation?

Why should you choose PYONG Rehabilitation? Parkinson's disease affects movement, speech, mood and the ability to get through daily life. Our programme addresses these problems with a multidisciplinary team of specialists, a treatment plan built for the individual, and advanced rehabilitation technology, all in one place at PYONG Rehabilitation Center, 11th floor, Gaysorn Tower, Ratchadamri Road, Bangkok (BTS Chidlom)

Symptoms commonly seen in Parkinson's patients

Tremor
Muscle rigidity
Slower movement
Balance problems
Difficulty speaking or swallowing
Problems with thinking and mood

How care works at PYONG Rehabilitation

A full assessment
Rehabilitation physicians, physiotherapists and occupational therapists assess health in detail together: treatment history, neurological examination, physical capacity tested with technology such as infrared balance analysis, gait and muscle strength testing, and an assessment of cognitive ability
A plan designed for the individual
Treatment goals are set together with the patient and the family, along with the treatment plan and how often sessions are held, drawing in other specialists as needed — neurologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, speech therapists or dietitians
Intensive rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is carried out by combining conventional therapy with advanced technology such as a walking exoskeleton, AI balance analysis and gamification sensors, with the plan followed up and adjusted every week
Support and education
Results are shared with the patient and the family, and carers are taught what they need to know so that care can continue effectively at home

What the rehabilitation programme covers

Movement and balance
Goal: walking safely, fewer falls
How: posture and balance analysis with AI, gait training with a walking robot, balance training and fall prevention

Rigidity and tremor
Goal: moving more freely, less rigidity
How: muscle stretching, exercise, peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS), dry needling, or high-concentration injection to separate the fascial layers (prolotherapy and hydrodissection)

Hand use and daily routine
Goal: developing fine motor skills, more independence
How: occupational therapy, training with movement-detecting sensors in the form of a game (gamification motor sensor)

Speech and swallowing
Goal: speaking clearly, swallowing safely
How: speech therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, swallowing exercises

Thinking and mood
Goal: supporting memory, steady mood
How: brain-training applications, psychological counselling, medication adjustment

Nutrition and diet
Goal: a balanced diet, weight and bowel function under control
How: advice from a dietitian and a meal plan built for the individual

Medication management
Goal: controlling symptoms as effectively as possible with fewer side effects
How: medication adjusted by the clinic's specialist physicians
