Tips And Benefits Of Doing Parkinsons Disease Exercise

By Thomas McDonald


Parkinsons disease, a central nervous system degenerative disorder developed for a long time which affects mainly the motor system. Symptoms usually come slowly with the early ones being difficulty with walking, slowness of movement, rigidity, and shaking. Problems in thinking and behavior may happen such as dementia, depression and anxiety being common in advance stages.

Exact cause for this disease is unknown though factors in genetics and environment are believed to be involved with their development. No cure has been made for this but initial treatment are available which becomes less effective after some time. An example of this is Parkinsons disease exercise that improves peace of mind, stability and balance.

Their benefits in improving symptoms include improvement of coordination, flexibility, balance, gait and grip when maintained. This can decrease complications and the risks of falls that can worsen conditions when not avoided. Exercises recommended for these are yoga, biking, tai chi and walking on treadmill which help its progression to slow down.

Before you start these activities, remember your safety should be kept first through wearing comfortable shoes and clothing while giving you good support. Ensure that the safety gears you possess are correct for your activity like when cycling having elbow pads, bike helmet and knee pads. Good posture is vital for having good balance while correct alignment makes efficient and stable movement.

Do these exercises while your medications or medicines are working well and you were able to rest well too. If a specific exercise will cause pain to you then stop it because you should do every movement with proper control to prevent injury. Recognize if you feel tired and when you overexerted yourself that day, take a break the next day from your routine for your energy to heal and be restored.

Perform posture exercises and simple stretches daily while you avoid bouncing movements and follow a varying everyday routine incorporating balance and strength. Aim three days for aerobic activities like walking, swimming and biking in a week and each being twenty minutes. If getting out would be difficult then home equipment and exercise videos should be tried.

Challenge yourself in keeping the intensity level which feels hard for you as this differs for each and every person. Studies have researched that getting the best results is achieved with greater intensity during long periods. Although begin first slowly with one activity for four days per week and slowly increase it as you become capable of doing more.

Pick something you like doing because exercising should not be something limited to gyms or a painful slog. Although be realistic with your expectations specially when you rarely do physical activities before so begin first with small bits and slowly increase it. Doing this together with friends or loved ones have additional benefits of accountability, support and fun.

Be consistent by doing this longer continuously because programs which lasts for months would give more benefits compared to those that lasts for some weeks. Being safe is important to avoid injuries which might aggravate your disease. Remember to wear proper gear, warm up, stretch, stop when you feel pain and cool down.
