EXERCISES CAN HELP IN MANAGING PARKINSONS DISEASE
Regular exercise can be beneficial in managing Parkinson's disease symptoms. Parkinson's disease is a chronic and progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, balance, and coordination.
1.Bridge Core/gluteals strengthening,
Place a resistance band loop around both thighs, just above your knees.
Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
Place legs hips width apart so that there is tension in the band.
Raise your hips up into a bridge, keeping the knees hips width apart.
Control the movement back down to the start position, maintaining constant tension on the band.
2.Jogging
Stand up straight with a clear area around you.
Bounce lightly up and down on the balls of your feet.
Spring from one foot to the other.
It is ok to gently touch the floor with one foot as you land on the other.
Imagine you are skipping on the spot over a rope.
Continue this movement.
Ensure you land gently and spring back up from the balls of your feet.
There is no need to jump high in this exercise.
3.Squatting
Stand behind a chair and place your hands on the backrest.
When ready, bend both of your knees into a semi-squatting position, allowing your hands to slide forwards and your hips to move slightly backward.
Push back up to the starting position through your legs.
4.Push up
Start position is in the press up position with the arms directly under the shoulders, fingers facing forwards and the back and trunk level and straight with the toes on the floor.
Lower the body using the arms and shoulders until the chest just touches the floor, keep the trunk straight and arms aligned with the shoulders.
Press up into the start position using the arms and shoulders only, keep the backside in line with the back and shoulders and do not arch the lower back.
This exercise can also be performed by starting with the knees on the floor and then commencing the press-up from this position.
