Healing Through Creativity
Art therapy offers a powerful, creative outlet for individuals living with Parkinson’s disease, supporting both emotional well-being and physical function.
Studies suggest that engaging in art may also help with visuospatial skills—key for balance and movement—and foster a sense of independence and self-expression.
Whether picking up a brush for the first time or rediscovering a passion, art therapy can be a meaningful part of the Parkinson’s care journey.
