摘要：According to Ordinance No. 228, of May 10, 2010, from the Ministry of Health, Parkinson's disease (PD), previously described by James Parkinson in 1817, is one of the most common and intriguing neurological diseases today. The pathology is characterized by four essential clinical signs: tremor at rest, stiffness, bradykinesia and postural instability. The present study evaluated the importance of the performance of physiotherapy in Parkinson's disease, seeking to outline the main points of the interventions performed by these professionals. The work aimed to make a bibliographic review and update on the performance of physiotherapy in Parkinson's Disease. Thus, Pubmed, Scielo and Lilacs were consulted with the words physiotherapy X Parkinson's disease, both articles in Portuguese and in English. Physiotherapy is used as an adjunct treatment to medications or the surgery used in Parkinson's Disease. This bibliographic review showed that there are benefits from all interventions related to conventional physiotherapy and also to neurological physiotherapy.
