A story of intuition, perseverance, and transformation with Parkinson’s

When she came to our clinic, Marta (not her real name), aged 49, had been suffering from persistent pain in her left shoulder after receiving the COVID vaccine.
She had already seen two physical therapists, but the pain continued, with no clear improvement.
Something didn’t add up.

In the first few sessions, we observed more profound symptoms: a certain stiffness when walking and a slight clonus in her left arm.
It wasn’t just her shoulder… it was her nervous system crying out for help.

We decided to continue treating her with physical therapy, but also to refer her to a neurologist.
The tests confirmed what we suspected: signs consistent with pre-Parkinson’s disease.

From there, we began a joint and comprehensive effort.
Specific physical therapy sessions, physio-Pilates, and close monitoring paved the way.

🕊️ Today, one year later, Marta says it with a serene smile:
“I’m better than I was on the first day I arrived.”

And she doesn’t say it just because the pain has disappeared. She says it because she has regained confidence in her body, in its ability to move, adapt, and move forward.

Physical therapy doesn’t always cure, but it does transform.
Sometimes, the most valuable thing is not eliminating a symptom, but opening a new path with awareness, movement, and courage.
