Alternative exercises

[Parkiewife]

I am looking for exercise alternative options for my husband. Balance is getting worse. Right now he is in a Rock Steady boxing class, but I have been told to look into other forms of exercise. Has anyone tried a full body vibration platform fitness machine?

It balance is a problem he could try core exercises, a strong core def helps with balance 😀

On YouTube search for "PD Warrior exercises".

Among a series of videos, the one called "Penguin waddle" is for balance.

When this can be done easily, add talking aloud.

Hi

I have been using a vibration machine for 12 months this has been excellent in increasing muscle tone and strength

I have very little balance problem s

I also found that Mannitol increased my flexibility and movement

Hi there. I would recommend Pilates for core work, static bike for cardio. Also have a look at PD Warrior and LSVT Big exercises on you tube. Might also be worth getting an assessment and therapy/exercise plan from a physio or OT specialising in PD, particularly as balance is an issue and you want everything to be safe and suitable.

What about a cross trainer? He can hold on to it as he walks.

In response to your quest for 'Alternative Options' may I suggest that you look at my profile or look at my website, reverparkinsons.net and contact me. At no cost to yourself I will send you lots of information about how to deal with Pd and videos on what I recommend. Rock Steady Boxing is good for Pd, as you probably already know. I believe that Fast Walking does even more. But that is for you to decide.

Hi there I am wondering what your thoughts are about reversing Parkinson’s.net

[JohnPepper in reply to flacat]

That is like asking St John who wrote the Gospel according to St John.

I wrote my book Reverse Parkinson's Disease and My Charmed Life. I am bus writing "A Conflict of Interests" at the moment and thta should be ready soon.

How can I help you?

There are different techniques. The European centre in Italy which is connected into Becky Farley (probably the leading researcher and expert on this) and Parkinson UK, Cure Parkinson's trust, EPDA etc are (and I admit bias as I volunteer here) very successful not only with balance. Do see this paper popolis.it/wp-content/uploa... hope that helps

[Parkiewife in reply to Quintin]

Just read the paper. So simplistic and needed. Am encouraging my husband to read this. ON POINT.

Consider biking, there is a motorized stationary bike called Theracycle.
