This document will support the judgements and decisions physiotherapists make during their clinical practice with people with Parkinson's. Professional associations from 19 European countries have contributed expertise to develop this guideline.
In this guideline, you will find evidence-informed material to answer questions that might arise. This includes evidence from good clinical research, expert opinion from physiotherapists across Europe, and preferences of people with Parkinson's around treatment and management options.
