Exercise and Parkinson's
Treadmills?
Stationary Bikes?
Elliptical Trainer?
Is any one more suitable than the others for PWP?
We've tried a treadmill before, but he would end up with pulled/stiff muscles.
V finds it very difficult to walk.
The branch of Yoga that is Parkinson's friendly does not have an instructor here.
The yoga that he practiced with a non-specialised instructor kept putting his muscles into spasms, that now has been stopped.
Some stretching and mobility movements - thats all we do for now.
We need to add some aerobics.
