With Parkinson’s Disease, big tasks with many steps, like getting up from the table and putting your dish in the sink, can sometimes be difficult when you are focused on the end result. Practicing an exercise with mini steps or a broken-down sequence can help you learn how to slow down and take things one step at a time.
This Bow and Arrow exercise with extra boosts will teach you how to think of movement differently. It will help you prepare to initiate a step, which can reduce gait freezing.
This exercise has so many benefits! It will help you with:
- Facilitating sequencing, coordination, and dexterity.
- Improving rotation through the neck and thoracic spine.
- Strengthening the middle back and posterior shoulder, and encouraging shoulder blade mobility.
- Engaging your core as you sit or stand straight and tall.
- Eye-tracking and voice activation.
