Yes, I use You Tube, Parkinson’s Society chair video exercises, along with a series of exercises, using BIG movements, like opening arms wide, and high, and taking high steps, and swinging arms in a big way! By regularly doing these BIG exercises shown on You Tube, some sponsored by The Parkinson’s Society, it enables one’s brain to retrain. Walking with big, high steps, swinging the arms wide, and lifting legs high, when walking, retrains one’s brain on how to basically walk again, after one has succumbed to the rigidity and stiffness that Parkinson’s Disease can do, to a person. Training with BIG motions like this, on a regular, daily basis, promotes neuroplasticity, where the brains neural pathways configure alternate pathways damaged from Parkinson’s Disease. After 3 months of Physical Therapy, using BIG exercises for walking, along with a number of exercises for balance, I was able to walk, with a normal person’s gait! I was really surprised that these exercises worked so well to retrain my brain! When I thought I wouldn’t be able to control stop taking small steps, and shuffling, where I was slowing down, I found out that my brain has flexibility to train anew, and I am able now, to control my gait, and posture, and I have improved balance! Exercising regularly is the key to success in retraining one’s brain, promoting neuroplasticity!

Glad to know all is well
