Dear Teresa,
Thank you so much for your guidance. I will watch and work through the video you provided. It's been ages since I've done Tai Chi -- over 29 years. I'll give it a shot. I am blessed to have a wonderful speech therapist. But I will also look to see what YouTube has as well. Thanks again for your help!

Oh, so glad that you have a speech therapist, @colleenl2008. I agree, a good speech therapist is a blessing!!

Yes, keep with the Tai Chi and any other exercises that you can find that involve stretching, balance as well as strengthening. These will all make a difference. If you have any in-person PD support groups in your area, it will also help you to not feel so alone.

The Michigan Parkinson's Foundation has their own YouTube channel with some wonderful exercise videos. I usually can't do the whole program but drop out after 20 minutes or so, as I have heart problems, but I do as much as I can. Here is a link to their YouTube channel,

Will you keep in touch and let me know how you are doing?
