Intimacy and Parkinson's: The Needs of Caregivers

A kind and loving relationship includes caring, intimacy, sensuality, friendship, and companionship. You need to learn and understand what is going on with your disease and learn about the available treatments.

Improve your communication, increase your sexual communication skills, cope with motor and non-motor symptoms, discuss and suggest different positions, and adapt to a new sexual role. There are creative solutions for the limitations in your partner due to Parkinson’s. Simple touching can lead to intimacy, and this can lead to a better understanding between couples.
