I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2001. Yes, 20 years ago and still going pretty strong. This program is just great. 6:Thankyou, mJoy and Parkinson Foundation.

Thank you Joellyn! It’s great seeing you here…miss you. You were our therapist at UPa, Ray…
Is this video part of a series? I see one on posture and this one on strength. I need chair-based exercises like this for my father & I think this instructor and length are great!
Hi J.J. - Thanks for reaching out on behalf of your father. We have other videos on our Fitness Friday playlists that focus on chair exercises and some of the videos will provide chair alternatives even if it is not the main focus: czcams.com/video/uzIiplshJv8/video.html
@@ParkinsonDotOrg she's going too fast parkinson's people cannot move that fast we shake and chair is not good for balance we cannot get up and down from chair so fast. Remember we shake. I can hardly get up out of chair. This is not good for balance or parkinson's
How many parkinson's people do u know that can get up and down from chair so fast. This video is a joke
This leg excercise is very good for me
Thanks Joellyn you’re great

Thank you so much
Thank you so much for rhe free utube exercise
Good Mam. V.Good ideas
I have a question. I have pain in ma knees. I am scheduled for surgey....how can I do those exercises?
Hi there - There is no “exercise prescription” that is right for every person with PD. The type of exercise you do depends on your symptoms and challenges. You may be interested in this playlist of seated exercises while you're dealing with this pain in your knees: czcams.com/play/PLDGRDRM479Gvydt1R3XV49mEEcL5ucR-i.html&si=9N5go57ndtsMD4JN
This video is not good parkinson's person cannot get up and down from sitting position so fast we shake.
I cannot lift myself up on my toes at all.
Only if I bend into a squat can I lift my heels a tiny bit.
My PT gal couldn’t explain it. Any ideas?
I answered you but parkinson's foundation deleted it.
@@cattycassals i just had an EMG of my legs yesterday. There is very little neuromuscular activity below my knees. Doc said totally non PD related. So, ataxia and peripheral neuropathy. 🙄
IMO hik
