Parkinson's Vibration ongoing Study
 

http://www.wsoctv.com/health/25647223/detail.html

During the mid 19th century, French neurologist, Jean-Martin Charcot discovered patients with Parkinson’s disease felt better after a carriage ride. He theorized the “shaking” and vibrations from the ride somehow eased the symptoms. To test the hypothesis, Charcot designed a special “shaking” chair for his patients. Reportedly, those who used the chair had less pain and stiffness and improved sleep quality.

Now, some modern-day physicians are picking up on the idea for current Parkinson’s patients. Researchers at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago are testing the use of a sophisticated vibration chair. The chair cushion contains speakers that are connected to an amplifier. When the patient sits in the chair, the music is turned on and the acoustics from the speakers generate strong vibrations.

self aware tremor
 

Natures method for relieving stress? Yes, maybe so! guess we are all just 'shaking it off"! I don't think your theory is far fetched at all - makes perfect sense to me!

the trap is the atttention we give it i think which then just magnifiies the tremors-interesting that its a "resting tremor" which seems contradictory. As I become self aware (as in awakening each morning from sleep) my body shakes, but, meditation and yoga helps. maybe the term "resting" is misleading? perhaps a better description would be "static" tremor? the paradox of finding stillness in movement (and vice versa) escapes me

thank you Imad for bringing this subject up for reflection

shake onn!!
