advanced suggestions that dont cost $ for pwp. Poor posture.

[beehive23]

When you become stooped posturaly, which we all know comes with pd, your brain activates the fight or flight metabolic paththway because your body is sending warning signals to your brain due to constant physical stress...this dumps cortisol into your body. Just 2 minutes of correct posture can reduce your cortisol overload to alleviate the resulting pd symptoms that are triggered by stress of any kind. So take your 2 minutes as often as you can. You will feel better which might just be enough to reduce freezing for example. Be Mindfull as often as you can...be aware of your body....Hang Tough!

OK so PD is turning me into a hunch back (all I need is a bell tower. ) and my back hurts like hell and I keep falling over backwards

and all I need to do is stand up straight. Do any of you have this problem ?

Do any of you know what the hell your talking about ?

[beehive23 in reply to Gymsack]

i cant speak for anyone but myself but...i try to only talk about stuff i personally learn from my condition and i dont think "all we need to do is stand up straight" but i do think that we can do alot of little things that we dont often think of ..that dont cost $ and dont recquire an unreasonable amount of time/energy investment. hang tough gymsack....

Dr Becky Farley developed both LSVT Big and, now, PWR. This is from her website -- check out the video in the bottom right corner. I believe it is for posture: pwr4life.org/virtual-pwr/
