Rigidity refers to stiff or inflexible muscles and can stop them from stretching and relaxing. This can lead to pain, muscle cramps and problems with balance.

If you experience rigidity, you may have problems with swinging your arms, turning around, getting out of chairs or turning over in bed, doing everyday tasks such as writing and speaking clearly.

Staying physically active can help to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility and mobility. Levodopa, or a combination of this and another Parkinson's medication, can be used to help treat rigidity. And therapies, such as physiotherapy or speech and language therapy can help.

There are over 40 different symptoms of Parkinson's. If you're concerned about yourself, or a loved one, reach out to your healthcare professional or call our helpline for support: 0808 800 0303. 💙
