Our Neuro Physiotherapist Karen Hull has lined up some daily facts throughout Parkinson’s Awareness Week this week
“Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition, noted for affecting the basal ganglia region of the brain as a result of the loss of the chemical dopamine. It was first described in Western Medical literature in 1817 by Dr James Parkinson, but Chinese records have shown that they were treating the symptoms of Parkinson’s 5000 years ago.”
