Thank you so much for doing these videos! I am with Parkinson’s now for 27 years I had lost all motivation to do anything since COVID-19 started! These videos have motivated me to start exercising again and just from exercising this morning once I feel the world of difference! Thank you for making a difference in my life!

Are the neck exercises safe for someone with a DBS implant?

[@davisphinneyfdn]

Thanks for your question, but this is a question you should ask your care team: each person's circumstances and DBS procedure is different.

Hi Daphne - We no longer produce the DVD. Hopefully, you are able to access them via this channel when you need them.

Parkinson patients can't stand or sit on the floor then how can do any exercise waste vedeos

[@davisphinneyfdn]

Thanks for your comment. People with Parkinson's have a wide range of abilities with regard to exercising while sitting and standing. If a person with Parkinson's requires assistance to stand or rise from the floor, exercise with a physical therapist can help, and there are also numerous ways to exercise from a seated position. These include chair yoga, recumbent cycles, tandem cycles, and exercises that prioritize upper body movements.
