Thank you so much fr this video. I watched this 5 years ago and it helped a lot. More recently, I have been afraid to go for walks because my right leg would get heavy and I would have to shuffle to get home. Shuffling resulted in hip pain and other problems so I quit walking. Then I came across this video in my notes, It still works! I am now confident to walk around the neighborhood. My guess is that focusing on the ball shuts down the "money brain". Could also have to do wwith intense focus on catching the ball (very mild stress). However it works, it works. I cannot thank you enough. I hope you are doing ok and still have your positive attitude and sense of humor. You mad a difference in my life and no doubt countless others,
This video is only the second vid that has given a tip-trick-adise on how to overcome the shuffling symton. I am an civil engineer and my whole life is all about making thing work...the ball really works but I achieved the same result by i replacing the ball with a palmsize object ( my ear buds container about 3"x1") and as you walk continuously rotate the container in my hand on the weak side. I now can walk backwards and sit down like i used to....hope this helps someone.
" The most progressive ideas on how to live with Parkinson's comes from people with Parkinson's " , this simple and obvious statement should always be remembered ! Make it your mantra ! Thanks a lot for sharing your "exercises" , really a lot!
What I always remember is that no matter what anyone says, we’re all individuals. And one size does NOT fit all. Advisors lack the resources to adapt advice for particular individuals, they must do one-size-fits-all but YOU can and SHOULD adjust advice to YOUR situation.
My husband can't walk that quickly anymore. He went from fast walking daily 5 miles a day to barely able to move without a lot of help. People if you're at the beginning, practice this via ideas, so you can walk as long as possible!
Think about it, PD is no fun, but it is often funny. Sometimes it feels like we are trying to invent a new dance language. For sure PD is better than Disco.
@@AlexanderTressor You are very funny and helpful - I am so pleased to have stumbled on to your video whilst surfing the net getting increasingly depressed with each medical break down of PD- your video was like a breath of fresh air and I will definitely be trying it out tomorrow!! Thank you!

I like the end of your video where you talk wisely about the importance of Strength. PD or not, the sick and elderly must focus of strength. Excellent advice. Thank you
Very cool discovery.....Thanks for sharing.......I don't shake, I just freeze.......I've noticed when I used to be able to play basketball, pretty much by myself, I would get into a rhythm with the ball, and use the balls energy so to speak, and everything just fell into place.......Kind of reminds me of that movie "Awakenings" where Robin Williams worked in a Healthcare Facility that took care of a group of people that just "froze" and Robbin woke them up......anyway in one of the scenes Robbin throws a ball at a woman, sitting "frozen" in a wheel chair,, and the woman used the energy of the moving ball to reach out and catch the ball........Now what that means, I don't know....all I know is that the same concept helps me also......I've been struggling with this most of my life......and there's something to it.....
Alexander! Thanks for your video. I think i might have part of the answer: it has to do something with your mind that is distracted by the ball and does not botters with your right arm and hand. I have got the something similar with talking: when i talk i just to have problem like searching for words. Some proffesional told me that I have a problem in my mind and that i can never solve the problem. But last, i visited friends and while talking i was pedding the dog. And then my husband realize i was not having problems at all. We tried different variaties, like pedding a doll and holding his hands when talking. Pedding the dog was by far the best. I think my mind was to bussy pedding the dog so it could not botter my speach 😂

Thank you That made me realize I have to do something but walking etc and big bold exercise has never been my thing. I'd thought of talking up cycling but have been given a set of exercises by surgery physio. That led to a conversation on rowing machines - which appear to force exercise of all muscle groups and have a cardio impact. What are your thoughts. I'm 77 so am blessed by starting later than so many and progression appears slow (though watching videos perhaps it isn't!!
Music works too, the was a program about it on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation a couple of years ago. I don't know whether the genre matters, the program used music suitable for old time ballroom, so there might have been a connection too their youth.
I purposely focus on really swinging my PD right arm and with that distraction , my legs work better. If you think about it the ball is a distraction just like overly swinging ones arms.
Wish I would have found sooner, thanks for sharing! Oh you're right on strength, I got's to get stronger... BTW, couldn't find a tennis ball, so used a kids baseball, worked fine.

Hello, I have just met your videos on you tube and I said to myself "yes at last I find the correct teacher!" It is wonderful to have lessons from a person who is also PD. I am late to find you but at last I met you here. Thank you and greetings from Turkey 😂
Interesting....I'm glad u explained it like that because I would wonder why some people can do a fast movement to certaint things...but then again be slow to others. Then I think there playing games (sometimes)...This is soOo (COMPLEX) and ODD! This needs to be talked about MORE...There's soOo much layers to this!
Diagnosed with early onset Dementia recently, but had slight symptoms for years, I have at times loose my balance, other times when walking I vear off my path to the right by a step. At times have a very slight tremor in the left hand. My fingers, manual dexterity is off, when working on small things. My neurologist doesn't have an answer for me.
INBRIJA is the ONLY medication I’ve used that actually works for my Parkinson’s Disease and since it’s the only inhaler and not a pill it works almost IMMEDIATELY. I would highly recommend anyone with Parkinson’s try INBRIJA. There’s nothing else on the market currently like it. Ty for bringing this amazing medication to market for people suffering from Parkinson’s🙌❤️
I wonder if you were to try the race walking gait would the PD let you move normally. You know the race walking movement you see it in the Olympics. Its an event in the Olympics. If it works then every time you do it in public people would probably think you are training and have a normal body. Another great tip for the hands and fingers is to start playing the ukulele. I have PD and find the activity has helped me greatly. Ukuleles are small, very light weight, have only 4 strings are easy to fret and make chords and are very affordable. Mine cost 72 dollars and was bought in a music store. It's not a toy. It's a folk instrument and it sounds beautiful. TH-cam is full of free ukulele lessons by very wonderful people around the world. Never had so much fun!
Thanks for sharing Alexander. My beloved dad has Parkinson's for six years now. No shakes. He is 84. would you recommend the stem cell surgery for the brain? South Korea claimed to cure someone of Parkinson's three months ago by stem cells in the brain.
Nice options to know. I had been diagnosed with PD 2 years ago and the Carbidopa-Levodopa has worked very well for me so far. I forget I have Parkinson's at all sometimes.
I hope everyone has seen the YT interview w/ the older gentleman who has PD, and was declining a lot, who went on the keto diet and he has nearly eliminated all the PD problems, side effects, whatever u want to call the debilitating effects of the disease. I don’t recall the title but it’s about healing or reversing PD. Very very exciting news!
We are all different. I believe that if somethings difficult, it doesn't mean we should give up - just another thing to works towards and a challenge to overcome. Hopefully at least one of these ideas will help most people
Any type of propulsion can cause gait abnormalities. The key is to find the type of movement that allows you to go forward without too many complications. It may be sideways, while skipping or even moving forward while facing the other way. I do not recommend doing that, but oddly enough, walking backwards is often easier than a normal forward facing walk.
Thanks so much my husband is having Parkinson disease and his left leg is amputee below the knee help me which exercise he can do to keep him fit mumbai Mahim
Thank you for the information on INBRIJA. I’ve been hearing great things on this new medication for Parkinson’s Patients. INBRIJA sounds like a game changer against Parkinson’s Disease❤️
Throwing the tennis ball from hand to hand helps me walk, but I can't bounce the ball at all. I freeze. and then when I finally bounce it, I almost fall when I catch it. I can't walk at all when I bounce the ball. I'm shocked by this, by the way.
Dear Dr ... I am not facing typical Parkinson's but lately I have noticed that my right hand feels shaky.. trembling ... specially with a cup of tea ... while writing something.... So am I going towards Parkinson's ?
Only a qualified neurologist can give you a definitive opinion on what is going on. Once you are clear on your diagnosis, you may reach out to us for help. We will be glad to advise you on many things you can do to feel better. PDontheMove.com
My Parkinson's started with my hands. I drop EVERYTHING to the point I can have glass anymore. My stumbling has become very noticeable. I had my first freeze today too. I've been a collision tech for 20 years this October, it's looking like I may have to end my career. I was diagnosed 4 years ago. I'm 40. Also no doctor will treat me because of my past alcoholism. I've been sober 11 years August 5th.
That’s terrible for you. Keep searching for a decent dr. Your past life should not reduce your present day support. Congratulations on your sobriety! Keep it going!👍
I don't have Parkinson's but I have a neurological disease that affects mostly my right side. I has improved with PT but I still lose balance and lock up after about 60 steps. Do you think this approach might work for people with other neurological diseases. I don't know what I have, only that my cerebellum was damaged. Thank you.

You can try retro, walking backwards. Inside on a track and slow is best. You might try clambering or crawling up steps, like a baby. Going down, backwards, is touchier. I have been looking over Parkinson exercises and some will possibly help my residual tremor. I was on a lot of medication and went cold turkey without medical permission or supervision because the tremor was life incapacitating.. I have every reason to believe if I were forcibly put back on medication, the tremor would return, in part merely because of my age, 73. The tremor is worst when I am under stress.., talking about what happened.
I was being seen at this satellite branch of Southeast Mental Health Center by various nurse practicioners. They were replaced at the drop of a hat. This clinic was for the lesser cases. I mostly watched tv and went duh. My gabapentin was increased even though I said it did no good. That was for shingles neuralgia. I halved the dosage one time and then went cold turkey. I continued to come in for appointments and get my medication at my pharmacy. for three or four months. I went for a few more appointments but did not pick up the medication. The pharmacy called and I told them the truth. Eventually someone from the pharmacy called the current nurse practicioner and she called me and did a termination interview. I told her I was no harm to myself or others. My social worker came and visited. He was an ok guy. When I confided in him, he said he could not visit unless I was on medication. I had let the garden go for over a year and he knew about gardening. I went off in the early part of the year and it was in the nineties when mentally I was recovered. I could not start renovating the garden until early fall. It looked like it belonged to a wicked witch, vines everywhere. The heat was hard on me. I was old and deconditioned and somewhat fat to boot. After this period of sedation, I started to remember things from the past, very interesting things
I just discovered your videos thank you so much!! What a delight!! Love your sense of humor your youth and your thinking outside the box on this whole crappy thing YOPD. Helps me, a fellow PWP. ❤️🙌🙂
On just a observation basis probably about 50% of population have gait walking issues. Presume they are not all Parkinsons sufferers. As he says we have a lot to learn about neurological inbalances and problems.
I don't think I can be a great help, as a lot depends on the cause of your pain. But keeping your feet strong and flexible and dietary modifications could possibly lessen the severity of your pain.
Becky, please consult with your doctor and ask if it's okay for you to try a supplement of Magnesium (Citrate or Glycinate) for your foot pain. I thought it would not work, but I tried it - 200 mg in morning with food and again at night with food - so 400 mg per day, but not all at once (might cause loose bowels). Be sure you take your other medications at a separate time, so absorption can take place optimally. Also, you can do epsom salts foot baths because the magnesium in that is taken up through your skin very easily and there will be no chance of stomach upset. I hope your doc okays it's and you get some relief. I did.
Troy Hagen Hi , Troy ! I am living with PD for last 14 yrs . Now in the 3rd wk of Àugust I am booked àt Ambani hosp. In Mumbai . I hope all foes well .....
the anwser simply because you are focusing on the tennis thats why you forget about the shaking its like illusion but its works our brain believe in illusion or tricks
Sir, can you please explain in some more detail of how it works and how much time did it took you to see benefits. My mother is having parkinson and therefore, I would like to know more about your experience. Thanks very much in advance.
We went from a slow, awkward shuffle to an all but normal gate. The passing from one hand to another was not a tough sell. It opened our eyes to a totally new view of what can be. Thanks so much for sharing insights.
So my dad is going through a Parkinson's Syndrome. I would like to establish and using some activities for him. Its honestly annoying and frustrating for me to see my dad on couch all day doing nothing to stare at a screen. I do apologize if I'm in the wrong place to be. But as a oldest son and I self coached myself in learning how to run. I would like to coach my dad in engaging other activities even having a bicultural background here.

Good tip. But if you have to run to catch up with your balls, think of it as an additional exercise that can only help.
Great Ideas and they Worked!
Thank you☺️

Good information Alexander. Neuroplasticity anything that uses the neural feedback loop is always phenomenal for people with Parkinson's

Dear Dr ... I am not facing typical Parkinson's but lately I have noticed that my right hand feels shaky.. trembling ... specially with a cup of tea ... while writing something....
So am I going towards Parkinson's ?
You writing usually gets smaller

My Parkinson's started with my hands. I drop EVERYTHING to the point I can have glass anymore. My stumbling has become very noticeable. I had my first freeze today too. I've been a collision tech for 20 years this October, it's looking like I may have to end my career. I was diagnosed 4 years ago. I'm 40. Also no doctor will treat me because of my past alcoholism. I've been sober 11 years August 5th.
That’s terrible for you. Keep searching for a decent dr. Your past life should not reduce your present day support. Congratulations on your sobriety! Keep it going!👍
Thanks Alexander for the wonderful video. :)
I don't have Parkinson's but I have a neurological disease that affects mostly my right side. I has improved with PT but I still lose balance and lock up after about 60 steps. Do you think this approach might work for people with other neurological diseases. I don't know what I have, only that my cerebellum was damaged. Thank you.
Alexander. this is exactly what I found out for myself. I never leave home without my tennis ball!
Glad to hear that your balls are always with you.

You can try retro, walking backwards. Inside on a track and slow is best. You might try clambering or crawling up steps, like a baby. Going down, backwards, is touchier. I have been looking over Parkinson exercises and some will possibly help my residual tremor. I was on a lot of medication and went cold turkey without medical permission or supervision because the tremor was life incapacitating.. I have every reason to believe if I were forcibly put back on medication, the tremor would return, in part merely because of my age, 73. The tremor is worst when I am under stress.., talking about what happened.
I was being seen at this satellite branch of Southeast Mental Health Center by various nurse practicioners. They were replaced at the drop of a hat. This clinic was for the lesser cases. I mostly watched tv and went duh. My gabapentin was increased even though I said it did no good. That was for shingles neuralgia. I halved the dosage one time and then went cold turkey. I continued to come in for appointments and get my medication at my pharmacy. for three or four months. I went for a few more appointments but did not pick up the medication. The pharmacy called and I told them the truth. Eventually someone from the pharmacy called the current nurse practicioner and she called me and did a termination interview. I told her I was no harm to myself or others. My social worker came and visited. He was an ok guy. When I confided in him, he said he could not visit unless I was on medication. I had let the garden go for over a year and he knew about gardening. I went off in the early part of the year and it was in the nineties when mentally I was recovered. I could not start renovating the garden until early fall. It looked like it belonged to a wicked witch, vines everywhere. The heat was hard on me. I was old and deconditioned and somewhat fat to boot. After this period of sedation, I started to remember things from the past, very interesting things
I just discovered your videos thank you so much!! What a delight!! Love your sense of humor your youth and your thinking outside the box on this whole crappy thing YOPD. Helps me, a fellow PWP. ❤️🙌🙂
On just a observation basis probably about 50% of population have gait walking issues. Presume they are not all Parkinsons sufferers. As he says we have a lot to learn about neurological inbalances and problems.
Why would it be illegal to do that
Parkinson's occure in left side. U say your right side is affected. I am confused. Sorry.
Brother, you look so fit. I hope my dad can get better.
When we’re young we don’t expect to need much adaptation when elderly. But PD requires continuing adaptation but we CAN adapt, to a degree.
@@FlaschDJmy dad passed away but I think he had more than just Parkinson’s. They definitely missed diagnosed him :(
I've not been able to walk normal for two years due to neurological pain in both feet. How does one get rid of foot pain?
I don't think I can be a great help, as a lot depends on the cause of your pain. But keeping your feet strong and flexible and dietary modifications could possibly lessen the severity of your pain.
Becky, please consult with your doctor and ask if it's okay for you to try a supplement of Magnesium (Citrate or Glycinate) for your foot pain. I thought it would not work, but I tried it - 200 mg in morning with food and again at night with food - so 400 mg per day, but not all at once (might cause loose bowels). Be sure you take your other medications at a separate time, so absorption can take place optimally. Also, you can do epsom salts foot baths because the magnesium in that is taken up through your skin very easily and there will be no chance of stomach upset. I hope your doc okays it's and you get some relief. I did.
Massage therapy, salt baths, stretching..!

Sir, can you please explain in some more detail of how it works and how much time did it took you to see benefits. My mother is having parkinson and therefore, I would like to know more about your experience. Thanks very much in advance.
We went from a slow, awkward shuffle to an all but normal gate. The passing from one hand to another was not a tough sell. It opened our eyes to a totally new view of what can be. Thanks so much for sharing insights.
That's what we are here for..!
So my dad is going through a Parkinson's Syndrome. I would like to establish and using some activities for him. Its honestly annoying and frustrating for me to see my dad on couch all day doing nothing to stare at a screen. I do apologize if I'm in the wrong place to be. But as a oldest son and I self coached myself in learning how to run. I would like to coach my dad in engaging other activities even having a bicultural background here.
