Yes, Teresa, I just finished several months of physical therapy! I had been slowing down, with my walking, taking smaller steps, and a hunched over posture. I cseemed unable to speed up my walking, where I would have a more normal gait! The hospital here has an excellent neurological rehab program. My Neurologist referred me to a balance and neuroplastic walking/training reprogramming planned physical therapy regimen. I was surprised! I decided to persevere, in spite of some of the difficult exercises. The program worked for me, and I continue to follow exercising, with You Tube videos, posted from The Parkinson’s foundation! Remarkably, I an able to walk almost normally again, where I can speed up if I have to, and feel that I have better control of my ability to ambulate better! Thank you for your continued interest in my journey of living with Parkinson’s Disease!

So glad to hear that the exercises were helpful and that you are continuing to exercise. Exercise, combined with medication, is one of the best ways to slow down the disability associated with PD.
