Comment CUES and i will share a list of few cues that can be used for someone you know has this issue

*READ 📍 *

What happens??
Why Freezing ???

In Parkinson’s disease the production of substance called Dopamine is affected. Dopamine is crucial
For the Normal signalling of basal ganglia ( an area in brain) responsible for initiating intended movement and controlling the rhythm and switching between different motor programs required for a single task
( e.g- walking is one activity but involves multiple motor programming like- walk straight, stop, slow down , take a turn, cross over the obstacle and then continue walking again, etc) .

In Parkinson’s this controller is disrupted
The green signal for eg to walk becomes weak and the red signal for stopping stays on for a longer time which make it difficult to imitate the next step.

The result is not paralysis- the person can still move, walk but becomes slow and less automatic

External cuing in the form of visual/ auditory/verbal/ tactile cues will not cure the disease but serves as great strategy to improve mobility and functionality on a daily basis and also prevent risk of falling.

The clips shown in the first few seconds are the exercises prescribed by an orthopaedician or a Physiotherapist most of the times for as a home program which I’m sure you must have been following for months and years and still feeling no change in the symptoms or improvement in the functions. That’s because these exercises are very basic , they’re good BUT NOT ENOUGH …

It’s high time you start including more functional exercises and progress to better , more effective exercises even if you’re doing then at home. These are just few heart 🙂

For athletes who want to improve their game performance or get back to their game post injury ,
It’s not GYM vs PHYSIO & PILATES but GYM + PHYSIO+ PILATES

Pilates & Physio are not to replace the strength training and the sports specific training , but to complement it in several ways to enhance the efficiency and control while playing a sport.

While Gyming and sports specific straining is the best for power , Maximal strength and muscle mass

Pilates wins when we talk about :
✅ Movement quality
✅ core strength
✅ Mobility and flexibility
✅ Balance & Co- ordination
✅ Correct movement patterns
✅ Stability & Control
✅ Great as recovery sessions

And Physiotherapy is necessary for pain management and injury rehab

✨Ideal combination is
* 3-4 days of Gym
* 2 days of Pilates
* 1 day of Sport specific training

Never in our lives , my husband and I were exposed to this kind of world and these kind of experiences as kids though we have lived our best childhood but in a different way.

Our hearts were full seeing him experience this. Though he could look inside barely 2-3 times we are happy that he at a young age , is getting to live these experiences which we started to live only in our 30’s … Kids have a great potential and it’s unfair to pass on our fears to them
The early you teach/ expose the better they’re gonna get at every skill

Share this to parents with young kids needing a little motivation to make their children try new experiences 🫶🏻

💥 RETURN TO SPORTS PHASE 💥

Episode 3 of -
ANKLE SPRAIN REHAB

Return to sports or advanced rehabilitation post ankle sprain is needed for those who are athletes or young individuals who are into heavier workouts or want to play sports even for leisure. These activities involve and need a great deal of balance , strength and proprioception and if not trained optimally post an ankle sprain or an ankle injury can compromise the performance and lead to further episodes of ankle twisting. Even when the pain around the ankle subsides and one can walk or use stairs comfortably , doesn’t mean that their ankle is capable of taking extreme forces which is the case with sports. So do not skip the advanced rehab phase at all once the symptoms subside. These drills and exercises help improve agility and coordination of the lower body muscles which help improve reflexes during playing sports .
