Parkinson's rigidity: My first recommendation is to consult with your primary care physician or neurologist to verify that the dose of your Parkinson's medication is appropriate for you. There has been a great deal of research showing great benefits of exercise/physical therapy as part of the treatment plan for Parkinson's disease associated rigidity.

This typically occurs with insufficient medical consistency or failure of Dopamine levels at the receptor and can be improved via medication changes, or even using a Neupro (rotigotine) patch or using entacapone. Check with your doctor, .
