Thank you Matt for this really helpful video. I hope you are keeping well.
What a great slogan t-shirt; I love his philosophy of engaging with the public.
God bless you my friend, I have MS and I can't walk as well as you. I'm on a walker but I'm still walking.
What a brilliant guy, bless him .
The walking tips are so helpful. I too, have problems on blank surfaces without a visual cue and I often slow or freeze. It does get worse when I think people are staring and I get anxiety from that.
I'm not drunk and i'm not dancing. I have Parkinson's. It can really hurt sometimes and I rest until it feels better.
What a cute personality! ❤
I got same cane, it helps!! Love parkys special breed, 1 of a kind!!❤😂
Like the t shirt .
Thank you
Great advice 😃
This is a good video
cheers matt...good luck
It’s great to hear advice from someone who has the disease. I mean, it’s good to hear from doctors but I like hearing it from someone who is experiencing it.
That's great to hear Marley, we;'re glad you found the video helpful
I haven't been mistaken for a drunk but I did fall down once at the edge of a boardwalk and I hurt myself so I sat there for a while to get my bearings and to determine if I had broken anything. Then I looked up and I realized that I had fallen outside of a pub. Bad optics! I have progressive MS and your tips for walking are good. Don't rush across intersections. I did that once in San Francisco and I had a bad fall in the middle of the intersection. I do what Matt does. I wave at the drivers who stop at crosswalks for me to thank them. I find that sometimes the trades vans stop quite far back to make it clear to me that it's safe to cross. They are courteous here in Victoria, BC.
Thanks for your comments and insight Alan, and great that you found Matt's tips useful!
Fantastic practical tips
where can we buy that tshirt? ace!
Matt: I’ll pay for a the T-shirt. Size US-Large. Can you direct me to your source? Excellent video. Where’d ya get it???
Because of the dyskinsia, sometimes people think I have been taking psychedelic drugs.
That cane could be too short for outside walking. 1:33. See how his right shoulder is dipping? I use a cane that height for standing around the house -- a taller one for walking outside. Therapists are obsessed with "too tall" canes. They don't walk with one. What do they know?
i have Parkinson’s disease
Allah şəfa versin bütün parkinson xəstəsinə amin
You are a lovely man. I have it too
I like this guy. I wish I could become “really good friends with him “. I live in u.s.
