Parkinsons Disease Exercise Tips And Benefits

By Thomas McDonald


Parkinsons diseases, a degenerative disorder in central nervous system develop gradually over time and affects the motor system mainly. Symptoms come slowly usually with these early ones being slowness of movement, shaking, difficulty with walking and rigidity. Problems in behavior and thinking may happen like depression, anxiety and dementia in advance stages being common.

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 starting these activities, remember to keep yourself safe first by wearing clothing and shoes that are comfortable which gives good support. Be sure to have the correct safety gears for your activity such as bike helmet, knee pads and elbow pads when cycling. Good posture is important for good balance and aligning them correctly makes the movement stable and efficient.

Do these exercises when your medicines and medications are properly working and you have rested well. If a particular exercise would cause you pain, stop doing it as every movement should be done to prevent injury by controlling it. Recognize when you feel tired and if one day you overexerted yourself, have a break with your routine the next day to restore and heal your energy.

Perform simple stretches or posture exercises daily while avoiding to make yourself bounce and follow different routine everyday which incorporates strength and balance. Aim to do aerobic activities such as swimming, biking, and walking three days per week for twenty minutes each. If getting out is hard for you then try home exercise equipment and videos.

Challenge yourself on keeping the intensity level higher which for you may feel hard as each person would feel different. Researches have studied that to achieve the best results, great intensity for long periods help. Although begin slowly first with an activity within four days in a week then slowly increase it when you become capable to do 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.
