pd exercise

[Arlington7]

where can I find free online pd exercise classes. I can only walk with a walker at this stage of my pd journey, so I need exercises for those with limited mobility. Thanks

Hi Arlington7, I would recommend "Smart XPD" on YouTube. It's free with commercials or you can join Pat Lasasso's zoom group for a fee. I just go to youTube when I have the time and energy and click on the pre-recorded classes that are available. It's kinda like LSVT Big on steroids if you are familiar with that. He does seated classes and standing, more aggressive classes. I highly recommend his approach.

Cheers, Craig

The Parkinson’s Foundation also provides an infographic and one-sheet with recommended exercises for those with the disease.

There are so many pd exercise classes on youtube! Just choose what suits. And there is parkinson's voice project that offer once a week singing and they also offer voice training for free online . Really just a question of a search!

I've been enjoying classes with Power for Parkinsons on Youtube. They have seated ones and more active. I especially like Polly Caprio's classes, she's bright, cheerful, always moving and cognitively challenging (for me anyway :-P)

my favorite PD exercise classes are Dance for Parkinson’s. They have. Free zoom classes for all levels of abilities . danceforparkinsons.org/take...

They have live programming as well as archived classes.

Get your doctor to prescribe PT if you can get someone to take you. I go weekly. Otherwise, YouTube has exercises geared to Parkinson’s along with chair exercises too. I was using a walker initially and now just a cane/walking stick.

if you go on YouTube there are many sitting exercises to do- May I ask is it your balance that requires you to use a walker? Take care!
