Physical therapy focuses on improving or maintaining physical function and mobility through targeted exercises and interventions. For individuals with late-onset Tay-Sachs disease, physical therapy is crucial in managing symptoms such as muscle weakness, coordination difficulties, and balance issues. A physical therapist designs a personalized exercise regimen that aims to strengthen muscles, enhance flexibility, and improve overall mobility. This therapy helps slow the progression of physical decline, reduces the risk of falls, and supports independence in daily activities. Additionally, physical therapy can assist in managing pain and fatigue, contributing to an improved quality of life.
