Hand Exercises for Parkinson’s disease | Decrease Shaking

In this video, I am going to show you exercises on how to decrease shaking or tremors of your hand. If you have Parkinson’s disease, it is very common to see hand tremors which is often described as pill rolling. These tremors can interfere with every day activities such as eating, brushing teeth, shaving and writing. In occupational therapy, we develop exercises and techniques so you can do your daily tasks easier.
The hand exercises in this video should help you control the shaking of your hands.
The exercises included are:
1. Hand flapping
2. Hand closing and opening
3. Finger flicking
4. Push away
5. Tip to tip
6. Thumb circles
Try to do this every day specially when you need to have less shaking or tremors of your hand to improve coordination and ability to improve your writing, eating, grooming or shaving.
Let’s exercise out mind and our body so we get stronger together.

I had very mild tremors since I was young. Over the past few years these tremors have become progressively severe, interfering with daily functionality. I was a very competent amateur guitarist. The tremors ruined my playing and I resigned myself to never picking up a guitar again. My therapist advised me persist with guitar playing as it would improve my tremors (finger muscle power). Then I discovered your amazing video. I have combined my guitar playing with your invaluable exercise programme and am beginning to feel the difference. Thank you and bless you for the work you do.

That is soooo awesome to here. Do you have videos of your guitar playing?

[@charliewest1221]

Thanks for acknowledging my post. Unfortunately, I do not have videos of my guitar playing. Hopefully, as I improve and gain more confidence, I shall make one or two and send them to you. Cheers, good man!

Hi I do not so far have Parkinson’s yet and I never will, but you never know in life. I decided to do these exercises I will continue to do them as they have great strengthening exercises for the hands that I have seen on TH-cam. So far these are the best so easy to understand. I’ll be looking forward to more exercises that you were teaching thanks again I will pass this on to my friends Tricia in Hawaii
