Alexander! Thanks for your video. I think i might have part of the answer: it has to do something with your mind that is distracted by the ball and does not botters with your right arm and hand. I have got the something similar with talking: when i talk i just to have problem like searching for words. Some proffesional told me that I have a problem in my mind and that i can never solve the problem. But last, i visited friends and while talking i was pedding the dog. And then my husband realize i was not having problems at all. We tried different variaties, like pedding a doll and holding his hands when talking. Pedding the dog was by far the best. I think my mind was to bussy pedding the dog so it could not botter my speach 😂
My husband can't walk that quickly anymore. He went from fast walking daily 5 miles a day to barely able to move without a lot of help. People if you're at the beginning, practice this via ideas, so you can walk as long as possible!
" The most progressive ideas on how to live with Parkinson's comes from people with Parkinson's " , this simple and obvious statement should always be remembered ! Make it your mantra ! Thanks a lot for sharing your "exercises" , really a lot!
What I always remember is that no matter what anyone says, we’re all individuals. And one size does NOT fit all. Advisors lack the resources to adapt advice for particular individuals, they must do one-size-fits-all but YOU can and SHOULD adjust advice to YOUR situation.
Thank you so much fr this video. I watched this 5 years ago and it helped a lot. More recently, I have been afraid to go for walks because my right leg would get heavy and I would have to shuffle to get home. Shuffling resulted in hip pain and other problems so I quit walking. Then I came across this video in my notes, It still works! I am now confident to walk around the neighborhood. My guess is that focusing on the ball shuts down the "money brain". Could also have to do wwith intense focus on catching the ball (very mild stress). However it works, it works. I cannot thank you enough. I hope you are doing ok and still have your positive attitude and sense of humor. You mad a difference in my life and no doubt countless others,
Think about it, PD is no fun, but it is often funny. Sometimes it feels like we are trying to invent a new dance language. For sure PD is better than Disco.
@@AlexanderTressor You are very funny and helpful - I am so pleased to have stumbled on to your video whilst surfing the net getting increasingly depressed with each medical break down of PD- your video was like a breath of fresh air and I will definitely be trying it out tomorrow!! Thank you!
Very cool discovery.....Thanks for sharing.......I don't shake, I just freeze.......I've noticed when I used to be able to play basketball, pretty much by myself, I would get into a rhythm with the ball, and use the balls energy so to speak, and everything just fell into place.......Kind of reminds me of that movie "Awakenings" where Robin Williams worked in a Healthcare Facility that took care of a group of people that just "froze" and Robbin woke them up......anyway in one of the scenes Robbin throws a ball at a woman, sitting "frozen" in a wheel chair,, and the woman used the energy of the moving ball to reach out and catch the ball........Now what that means, I don't know....all I know is that the same concept helps me also......I've been struggling with this most of my life......and there's something to it.....
Interesting....I'm glad u explained it like that because I would wonder why some people can do a fast movement to certaint things...but then again be slow to others. Then I think there playing games (sometimes)...This is soOo (COMPLEX) and ODD! This needs to be talked about MORE...There's soOo much layers to this!
I like the end of your video where you talk wisely about the importance of Strength. PD or not, the sick and elderly must focus of strength. Excellent advice. Thank you
Thank you for the information on INBRIJA. I’ve been hearing great things on this new medication for Parkinson’s Patients. INBRIJA sounds like a game changer against Parkinson’s Disease❤️
Thank you That made me realize I have to do something but walking etc and big bold exercise has never been my thing. I'd thought of talking up cycling but have been given a set of exercises by surgery physio. That led to a conversation on rowing machines - which appear to force exercise of all muscle groups and have a cardio impact. What are your thoughts. I'm 77 so am blessed by starting later than so many and progression appears slow (though watching videos perhaps it isn't!!
Wish I would have found sooner, thanks for sharing! Oh you're right on strength, I got's to get stronger... BTW, couldn't find a tennis ball, so used a kids baseball, worked fine.
Music works too, the was a program about it on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation a couple of years ago. I don't know whether the genre matters, the program used music suitable for old time ballroom, so there might have been a connection too their youth.
Hello, I have just met your videos on you tube and I said to myself "yes at last I find the correct teacher!" It is wonderful to have lessons from a person who is also PD. I am late to find you but at last I met you here. Thank you and greetings from Turkey 😂
INBRIJA is the ONLY medication I’ve used that actually works for my Parkinson’s Disease and since it’s the only inhaler and not a pill it works almost IMMEDIATELY. I would highly recommend anyone with Parkinson’s try INBRIJA. There’s nothing else on the market currently like it. Ty for bringing this amazing medication to market for people suffering from Parkinson’s🙌❤️
I purposely focus on really swinging my PD right arm and with that distraction , my legs work better. If you think about it the ball is a distraction just like overly swinging ones arms.
Thanks for sharing Alexander. My beloved dad has Parkinson's for six years now. No shakes. He is 84. would you recommend the stem cell surgery for the brain? South Korea claimed to cure someone of Parkinson's three months ago by stem cells in the brain.
I wonder if you were to try the race walking gait would the PD let you move normally. You know the race walking movement you see it in the Olympics. Its an event in the Olympics. If it works then every time you do it in public people would probably think you are training and have a normal body. Another great tip for the hands and fingers is to start playing the ukulele. I have PD and find the activity has helped me greatly. Ukuleles are small, very light weight, have only 4 strings are easy to fret and make chords and are very affordable. Mine cost 72 dollars and was bought in a music store. It's not a toy. It's a folk instrument and it sounds beautiful. RU-vid is full of free ukulele lessons by very wonderful people around the world. Never had so much fun!
I hope everyone has seen the YT interview w/ the older gentleman who has PD, and was declining a lot, who went on the keto diet and he has nearly eliminated all the PD problems, side effects, whatever u want to call the debilitating effects of the disease. I don’t recall the title but it’s about healing or reversing PD. Very very exciting news!
Nice options to know. I had been diagnosed with PD 2 years ago and the Carbidopa-Levodopa has worked very well for me so far. I forget I have Parkinson's at all sometimes.
I just discovered your videos thank you so much!! What a delight!! Love your sense of humor your youth and your thinking outside the box on this whole crappy thing YOPD. Helps me, a fellow PWP. ❤️🙌🙂
We are all different. I believe that if somethings difficult, it doesn't mean we should give up - just another thing to works towards and a challenge to overcome. Hopefully at least one of these ideas will help most people
Any type of propulsion can cause gait abnormalities. The key is to find the type of movement that allows you to go forward without too many complications. It may be sideways, while skipping or even moving forward while facing the other way. I do not recommend doing that, but oddly enough, walking backwards is often easier than a normal forward facing walk.
Diagnosed with early onset Dementia recently, but had slight symptoms for years, I have at times loose my balance, other times when walking I vear off my path to the right by a step. At times have a very slight tremor in the left hand. My fingers, manual dexterity is off, when working on small things. My neurologist doesn't have an answer for me.
On just a observation basis probably about 50% of population have gait walking issues. Presume they are not all Parkinsons sufferers. As he says we have a lot to learn about neurological inbalances and problems.
Thanks so much my husband is having Parkinson disease and his left leg is amputee below the knee help me which exercise he can do to keep him fit mumbai Mahim
Sir, can you please explain in some more detail of how it works and how much time did it took you to see benefits. My mother is having parkinson and therefore, I would like to know more about your experience. Thanks very much in advance.
Troy Hagen Hi , Troy ! I am living with PD for last 14 yrs . Now in the 3rd wk of Àugust I am booked àt Ambani hosp. In Mumbai . I hope all foes well .....
Throwing the tennis ball from hand to hand helps me walk, but I can't bounce the ball at all. I freeze. and then when I finally bounce it, I almost fall when I catch it. I can't walk at all when I bounce the ball. I'm shocked by this, by the way.
I don't have Parkinson's but I have a neurological disease that affects mostly my right side. I has improved with PT but I still lose balance and lock up after about 60 steps. Do you think this approach might work for people with other neurological diseases. I don't know what I have, only that my cerebellum was damaged. Thank you.
My Parkinson's started with my hands. I drop EVERYTHING to the point I can have glass anymore. My stumbling has become very noticeable. I had my first freeze today too. I've been a collision tech for 20 years this October, it's looking like I may have to end my career. I was diagnosed 4 years ago. I'm 40. Also no doctor will treat me because of my past alcoholism. I've been sober 11 years August 5th.
That’s terrible for you. Keep searching for a decent dr. Your past life should not reduce your present day support. Congratulations on your sobriety! Keep it going!👍
Dear Dr ... I am not facing typical Parkinson's but lately I have noticed that my right hand feels shaky.. trembling ... specially with a cup of tea ... while writing something.... So am I going towards Parkinson's ?

I'm Frank Cohen, founder at Clever Moe. We do digital advertising targeting with social media influencers. We are working on an ad campaign for the American Parkinson's Disease Association (APDA) to raise funds for their services. I am wondering if you be willing to let us use parts of your video in our ad? -Frank
We went from a slow, awkward shuffle to an all but normal gate. The passing from one hand to another was not a tough sell. It opened our eyes to a totally new view of what can be. Thanks so much for sharing insights.
the anwser simply because you are focusing on the tennis thats why you forget about the shaking its like illusion but its works our brain believe in illusion or tricks
Great things Dr Madida on RU-vid has being doing for mankind, I undergo his Parkinson disease treatment plan for weeks and my Parkinson Disease was completely reversed...
Hello !!!! good evening sir mam , very informative video parkinson's diseases, you can avoid allopathy treatment which no doubt leaves you with side effects and is not a permanent solution. i would recommend planet ayurveda's parkinson's care pack.
I don't think I can be a great help, as a lot depends on the cause of your pain. But keeping your feet strong and flexible and dietary modifications could possibly lessen the severity of your pain.
Becky, please consult with your doctor and ask if it's okay for you to try a supplement of Magnesium (Citrate or Glycinate) for your foot pain. I thought it would not work, but I tried it - 200 mg in morning with food and again at night with food - so 400 mg per day, but not all at once (might cause loose bowels). Be sure you take your other medications at a separate time, so absorption can take place optimally. Also, you can do epsom salts foot baths because the magnesium in that is taken up through your skin very easily and there will be no chance of stomach upset. I hope your doc okays it's and you get some relief. I did.
Medication does not lose effectiveness it’s because the disease is progressive meaning gets worse over time. Please ck your facts . Loved the video especially tennis ball. Thanks
So my dad is going through a Parkinson's Syndrome. I would like to establish and using some activities for him. Its honestly annoying and frustrating for me to see my dad on couch all day doing nothing to stare at a screen. I do apologize if I'm in the wrong place to be. But as a oldest son and I self coached myself in learning how to run. I would like to coach my dad in engaging other activities even having a bicultural background here.
