Recurrent foot and ankle injuries were exactly what I had in the years preceding my diagnoses of PD and severe dystonia !
Do they suggest specific ways to deal with this type of trauma ? Perhaps they have never healed completely, although I did receive treatment for each and apparently got well every time.

I have much interest in this. Recently saw information on this and emotional trauma linked to PD for some. Let me know if you have any other information!
I wholeheartedly agree. Extremely interesting read indeed. I believe most of her arguments may be correct and relevant to our therapy.
An excerpt from Recovery from Parkinson's: "In NEARLY ALL of my PD patients, their symptoms began to appear when some life
challenge that had long been used as a mental spur was finally laid to rest: the youngest
child finished college; the mortgage was paid off; the predatory uncle died."
This really shocked me, for exactly the same thing happened with me. In early 2017, I finally got rid of all of my problems, and when the last and the most serious one was resolved, severe right shoulder dystonia appeared shortly afterwards ! It was only 2 or 3 weeks in between. That quickly progressed with subsequent onset of cervical torticollis, and after less than 2 months, I received the diagnosis of PD.
Did you see where she talks about Parkinson's having a 23-day cycle? It's a bell curve so every 23 days you feel bad and every 23 days you feel wonderful or a lot better I just got over my bad couple days so now I'll be coming out of the doldrums. I do Mark the bad days on my calendar, it seems like it really corresponds to my bad days when they occur. Funny thing is that all the parkie's have the bad and the good days at the same time.
No I haven't. Thanks for mentioning, I'll check. Her arguments may be right or wrong, it is too early to tell, but Dr. Janice Hadlock seems sincere to me. She has done her research for nearly 30 years, developed theories and treatments, written 5 books on PD (from which one could glean some very interesting information), and then gave them all for free. Money is a great differentiator.
