Excellent videos for those of us that have Parkinson’s

[@mosheofer]

Thank you Joellyn, I benefited from your video. I'll try to follow your exercises.

[@cerpaeli]

Excellent sequence. I used it with my patients.

[@staceydroogas928]

Even though I do not have Parkinson's, I engage in many upper and lower body routines. My cervical spine is arthritic with limited mobility, and my thoracic spine is problematic. This particular routine made me feel like a million bucks, so thank you for your clear, enthusiastic, and energetic instruction...Anastasia

How do I search for these on CZcams so I can watch on my larger tv screen?

[@franchernowsky9989]

I think you just play it on your computer or tablet or phone. Then go to your tv with a CZcams connection and look at your history. It should appear there if you use the same account as your non-tv account. It helps to select subscribe.

[@gregorybalchunas3895]

Maybe you can Google it

[@gregorybalchunas3895]

Feels, good, thank you

[@ParkinsonDotOrg]

How often should we do this?

[@ParkinsonDotOrg]

Hi Mike - The Parkinson’s Outcomes Project study shows that 2.5 hours of weekly exercise along with medication, can significantly improve quality of life for people living with Parkinson's.
