Neck and shoulder stiffness: Parkinson's

Posted: Wed Oct 10, 2007 4:07 am Post subject: Neck and shoulder stiffness : Parkinson's

I have neck and shoulder stiffness/ frozen/rigidity before I have Parkinson's.

I understand this is the first symptom of the Parkinson's.

Is it the cause of the instability bad posture because of Parkinson's?

Is it the only way doing neck and shoulder stretching besides medication? Kindly advise

Dear Teo, This is outside my scope of practice as a dietitian; I can only speculate that the stiffness might be muscle tightness due to PD itself, or, as you suggest, alterations in posture. The ideal person to talk to would be a physical therapist, who can help you with exercises or stretching to help with the rigidity._________________Best regards, Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD -- For a Parkinson Tip of the Day visit: http://www.nutritionucanlivewith.com/

I refer to my email for the above. I would like to share my experience one of the reason is my instability walking posture without both arms swinging. I have tried to correct and become a habit. Best regards TEOKIMHOE

Teo, once again you are showing a proactive effort to combat the effects of PD. Lack of arm swing is common among people with PD and certainly contributes to unnatural body mechanics. Taking steps to be aware of this and correct it is a very good way to help combat the stiffness that results. Good for you for working this, and sharing with others._________________Best regards, Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD -- For a Parkinson Tip of the Day visit: http://www.nutritionucanlivewith.com/

I refer to above article.

Besides doing arms stretching,walk upright and swing your arms if you could go down yourself in the pool three feet deep (below the surface of the water) to massage your body stiffness and rigidity for half an hour daily. Be accompanied by your helper in case you need help.

Make it a habit and enjoy your good quality of life. Lord bless TEOKIMHOE

As a parting shot here are the words of super-star Whoopi
Clooney: I demand clash of clans hack, nothing more nothing
less. Inevitably clash of clans hack is usually misunderstood by those a lot of reliant on technology, obviously.
And players both charge (obviously being played in special op's mode) through the flying rubble.

Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I'm planning to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are
so many options out there that I'm completely confused
.. Any recommendations? Many thanks!
