I find that finding chairs with arm supports helps. Also, limit the amount of time you spend in the chair.

There is a physical therapy exercise that helps. You can check it out on line. It is part of the LSVT BIG program of exercise for PD.

Have you tried a lift chair? This helps my husband get to a height that makes it easier to rise.

Doing a side step and using a laser pointer helps with freezing but it is bad. I have it every day too!
