- When Silke Kind plays table tennis, she can almost forget she has Parkinson's. Sport seems to help slow down the disease.
In everyday life, the right side of Silke Kind's body is often stiff; she trembles when cutting vegetables or using the computer mouse. Table tennis training has a positive effect, says her physiotherapist. However there are hardly any scientific studies on how ping pong affects the symptoms of Parkinson's - the disease itself is incurable. In Germany, there are about 170 Ping Pong Parkinson's support points and the interest is growing.

Silke, you did an amazing job of articulating all of the challenges we face having been diagnosed with PD ! Similar to you, I am 11 years into this disease and playing ping pong has been life changing for me. It's important for people to understand how beneficial this game can be for us both physically and emotionally. We have made so many positive connections to people with Parkinson's both locally (for me in the USA) and internationally with people like you. Thank you for sharing this with the world !
Awesome! I love to see people fighting against illnesses!
This is absolutely fabulous.
My precious husband had parkinson's. He loved ping-pong. Wish I'd seen this then.
Silke's determination and passion for the sport serve as a beacon of hope for others facing similar challenges. Let's continue to explore innovative ways to improve the lives of Parkinson's patients and support their well-being through sports and other therapeutic avenues.
Braavo Silke, bravo Thorsten bravo Germany
I wish them all well.
Another wonderful documentary video shared by an excellent DW documentary channel....shows that physical activities of muscles are activating minds ( Brains 🧠) ... good luck and best wishes for humanity everywhere, including old individuals
Thanks for watching and for your constructive feedback! :-)
Thanks DW once more and again. By the way, that stuff about Amazon forest perspiring was one of your best. More of that stuff too, please
Thank you for your comment!
Such a beautiful sport
It's so nice!
wow, great fighter I have ever see it.
I think that movement training would better equip people to deal with the effects of Parkinson's, even if it doesn't delay the onset of symptoms, because they will have all the usual benefits to strength, coordination, balance and mental health for as long as they are able to use them. It seems like a very good thing to promote, either way.
Most Excellent,
Great news indeed!
Good for dementia as well. Drumming can also provide a lot of multitasking and coordination in so many areas of the brain, there's nothing quite like it.
Yes am finally feeling the pulse beat while playing my bongos too 😇
thanks
I pray for these people's recovery 🙏 Parkinson's is a terrible disease..
NENAD BACH. The man that first came up with this ingenious idea and who founded the PingPong Parkinsons organisation.

Is reading in the "about" tab on the channel page too difficult for you?
It means "Deutsche Welle".

@@AkbarAli-wm9bv Yes, like an electromagnetic wave to send a signal for TV or Radio before Internet...
when focused parkinson recedes🏓🏓
I knew someone with Parkinsons. They had a "special" surgery and took a cocktail of meds daily. All it done was give them more and more side effects and deteriorate their condition even more.
I strongly suggest CBD oil and music therapy instead.
I'm the second viewer, although I played immediately from the notification itself.
I am the very first one
Guys let me count the real fans of the channel
Is it possible to cure Parkinson ? 70 year old person
