I'd Love To Know What Others Are Doing To Help With Their Condition?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

My father was diagnosed with Parkinson's 2 years ago and I am trying to research as much as I can on ways of slowing the progression of the condition down and giving him the best quality of life as possible. I've read some people have been able to overcome the condition and hope the same for my father.

Through my research I've discovered that spine and neck alignment may play a vital part in blockages to the brain. Unfortunately we don't have any qualified NCR chiropractor here in Australia… read more

I have had PD for 10 years, and have researched it extensively. So far, Rock Steady boxing and yoga help the most. Meds have to be constantly adjusted. I have read where many people have gotten free of PD through meditation practices. I am looking into that now.

Yoga helps a lot and so does stretching for me. I push myself aliottle although have discovered a lot of people my age aren't leaping and bounding with or without PD

Thanks for this David. I've just searched Rock Steady boxing and don't seem to see any programs available here in Australia unfortunately. From the videos I have seen it looks like its benefiting people with Parkinson's greatly, so would really like my father to start this type of exercise. Will also look into meditation practices. Thank you so much for your response and letting me know about these exercises.
