KEY POINTS ■ Gait training, resistance, balance/coordination, activities of daily living, and tandem cycling improve motor abnormalities in Parkinson disease (PD). ■ Self-assessment of patients with PD following exercise regimens shows improvement in cognitive functioning and reduced depression. ■ Positive effects of exercise on symptoms of PD result in a better quality of life. ■ While further research is needed to address long-term effects and influence on later stages of PD, clinicians should consider implementing exercise in conjunction with pharmacologic therapy. |

i'm convinced exercise has slowed my progression and even if placebo, it has tremendous other health benefits. why neuros aren't prescribing starting day 1 is beyond me.

Love the Delay the Disease YouTube. My MDS did recommend exercise from day one! And I agree it helps with my symptoms. |

You certainly make me laugh with some of your comments. I think you should give Tai Chi a shot. If you get the right instructor you'll find it helps a lot and is fun at the same time. Probably similar to dancing, but more meditative.
