Answer by catcrew2003
I can’t give you specifics, because what is good for one person may not be good for the next. Each person’s pd is different so there is no one size fits all. Some things I have heard that are helpful are yoga and stretching. I do weights which helps me. The best advice I can give you though is to find someone that can work with you one-on-one so you can get an exercise plan that works at the issues you are having most and that is reasonable for you. I don’t know where you live, but at least around me I know of several people who have expertise in exercise for people with parkinson’s. If finances are an issue, you could see about just getting a couple of appointments so at least they can get you started on a program that makes sense for you.
