The Parkinson's Road Podcast
I am no expert by any means of the word, but I don’t believe you need to be in order to help others. My goal is to simply share knowledge & Information. I want other people with Parkinson’s to know they are not alone, that there are things they can do to improve their situation and live a improved version of their life with pd and help them be informed about their Parkinson’s so that they can advocate for their own care and lead more empowered lives.In helping others, I am helping myself. This podcast is me moving outside of my comfort zone and challenging myself to expand my own horizons. Now you might ask why I would want to do that. How can I expect to help others to change and evolve if I am not willing to myself?

Did you know that Parkinson's has a distinctive walk? It is called the Parkinsonian gait, and one of the potential characteristics of this is festination. This episode explains what festination or festinating gait means.
Here is a great video demonstrating what festination looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5hrxKe2nP8
** disclaimer ** I have no affiliation with any Parkinson's specific exercise program I only mention PD Warrior as a point of reference.
** I say posterior chain in the podcast but know that working your posterior chain will also strengthen the anterior muscles including your quadriceps, hip flexors, and abdominals.**
