Hi ,Im new to the forum ,Im 42 diagnosed 37 symptoms since 34 ,missed diagnosed. My symptoms at the moment are not bad ,in morning a bit stiff.
Ive found relief in yoga not the usual routine , because muscles shorten and signals from brain are not as strong in pd , fighting to stretch muscles and make new signal paths to move foot or hand ,for me works.My balance is better, and my posture ,my walking has improved ,I dont drag my foot.
Im from North Wales uk ,my yoga teacher has a lot of pd in family when she was young so she is interested in the condition .
I also do trials in Bangor university with parkinsons. One was using the brain to imagine moving when actually being totally still , then imagining not moving at all. This was done in a mri scan and showed the possibility of training the brain to move the leg or hand by imagining .
This is not a new idea as th Russian gymnasts would have to visiualise their
routine in their heads to the last detail before attempting it for real.
These are only trials but makes me wonder our brain is vast ,mine isnt!!
I know Im young and can at the moment move about.
Yoga is not for everyone but for me it is a relief .
