Parkinson's Program
Activate center in Geneva offers a Parkinson's protocol combining neurological rehabilitation on GIGER MD® with personalized functional support. Within just 2-3 sessions, patients regain balance and walking stability. An integrative approach to slow disease progression and improve quality of life.
1. The Benefits of GIGER MD® for Parkinson's
The GIGER MD® is a Swiss medical device that simultaneously mobilizes all four limbs in a rhythmic, symmetrical movement while eliminating the effects of gravity through the patient's reclined position. This therapy relies on repeated stimulation of still-functional neural networks to reorganize motor circuits and restore lost functions.
In patients with Parkinson's disease, benefits are visible quickly: within the first 2 to 3 twenty-minute sessions, remarkable improvements are observed, particularly restored balance and smoother gait. This is due to GIGER MD®'s ability to induce neuroplasticity and reactivate disrupted motor circuits.
Positive effects include:
Restored coordination and walking stability
Reduced tremors and rigidity
Decreased postural problems and fall risk
Improved cognitive and autonomic functions
The guided repetition of movements, synchronized with visual and auditory stimuli, activates spinal pre-motor oscillators and promotes communication between sensory afferents and motor neurons.
2. Functional Medicine Support
Alongside motor exercises, we offer a personalized nutritional and metabolic approach. Since Parkinson's disease is associated with increased oxidative stress, gut dysbiosis, and neurotransmitter deficiencies, correcting these imbalances is essential.
We use:
Targeted antioxidants (glutathione, coenzyme Q10, NAC, curcumin)
Essential fatty acids to support neuronal membranes
B vitamins (particularly B6, B9, B12) for dopamine metabolism
Probiotics and prebiotics to support the microbiome and gut-brain axis
Enzymatic cofactors to improve L-DOPA utilization
This integrative approach aims to slow disease progression and significantly improve quality of life.
3. Who Is This For?
This protocol is designed for individuals who:
Have been diagnosed with Parkinson's, at any stage
Are newly diagnosed and wish to maintain their independence
Experience gait or postural difficulties
Suffer from chronic fatigue, stiffness, anxiety, or loss of motivation
