Am crying with laughter here Lloyd. No. Please don`t go there...eek.
In all seriousness....who me? SERIOUS? NAH!!!
Ahem..as I was saying..I have to add that another thought is this.Don`t all run for cover.
Parkinsons somehow has the knack of clamping your arms across your body.When you think about it...they provide the balance and "swing" to enable correct walking.And I at my worst,lived with my right arm stuck across the fron t of my body,my right shoulder lower than my left,my upper back rounding in what I can only describe as a hump...Quasi Modo springs to mind.As I shuffled and dragged my right leg,immense strain was placed on my hips,lower back and pelvis.This was not only painful,but weakened my hips.
By manipulating my joints,[and both my shiatsu practitioner and my sis worked on this] and using mammoth circling motions,they gradually released the tension in my arms and I was able to swing them again.Just this little thing ,this "opening" up of my shoulders,made a huge difference to my stance and walk.I have my sexy wiggle back.
Want a sexy walk LLoyd...you know...to go with the outfit? BIG SMILE.
BIG HUG
