“I need exercise tips for Parkinsons Disease. How often should I exercise and what type of exercise is best for persons currently experiencing symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease?”

Listen to my response to this question below.

It is well established that exercise is beneficial for the general population. Exercise has all of the same beneficial effects of people with Parkinson’s disease as it does on healthy individuals. For persons who have symptoms of Parkinson’s exercise can help to alleviate some of the negative signs and symptoms of the disease such as bradykinesia and reduce tremors.

My suggestions are taken from the recommendations of Dr. Daniel Corcos, Ph.D. who is Chair of the Graduate Program in Neuroscience at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and Director of the Neural Control Of Movement Laboratory at UIC. Dr. Corcos recommends  various forms of exercise that are ideal for persons currently experiencing Parkinson’s symptoms.
