Huntington's Disease Physiotherapy in Indirapuram

How it affects movement

Huntington's causes involuntary jerky movements (chorea), reduced coordination, balance problems and eventually stiffness and slowness. It also affects thinking and behaviour, which can influence how therapy is delivered.

Why exercise helps

Research suggests exercise can improve fitness, walking and balance in people with Huntington's, and may support mood and wellbeing. Staying active for as long as possible is valuable.

Therapy goals

Early on, we focus on aerobic fitness, strength, balance and walking. As the condition progresses, fall prevention becomes central: home safety, walking aids, and strategies for safe transfers. Routines and simple instructions help as memory and planning are affected.

Later, positioning, seating, comfort and carer training become priorities. Therapy adapts to each stage.
