I have Parkinson’s will be helpful?

[@michaelgoldman2869]

Same person who has Parkinson’s I am 85 years old, I lost more than 30lbs, lost of strength I was a gym rat !

[@More4Life]

​@@michaelgoldman2869yes this can help someone with Parkinson's, but you may have to make modifications at first based on your baseline level of strength and balance.

I'm only 68 but on a lot of meds that cause me to lose my balance constantly, make me dizzy and I fall a lot. Stairs really scare me. Thank you so much.

[@More4Life]

You're welcome. Yes, more than 4 medications actually increases fall risk because there is a greater risk of drug-to-drug interaction.

great stuff ..very useful. ...thank you.......But the plug sockets on your wall are not straight...............get the electrician back to sort them out and buy him a level.

[@More4Life]

Glad you enjoyed the information.

[@dspirit444]

Wow...how petty n unnecessary 🙄

[@lorrainetrenear2597]

Not sure that’s important in this context 😂

[@tomc1380]

Sems a bit too hard on the hip side I've had replaced ~10 months ago.

[@More4Life]

You might try starting from 1:03 and practice standing on one leg and progressing from there. Not everyone will be able to do all the steps their first time around. Start with what you're able to do and progress as you improve.

[@tomc1380]

@@More4Life Thanks mate, I'll give that a go. Cheers.

[@joeskwara5823]

I have size 13 feet so I don’t even try to not use support regardless of my step down strength and flexibility. Hit the end of that step with a little slip and it’s not good.

Testosterone is daves candy

[@norafaust4520]

ABSOLUTELY not...ALWAYS hold on.

[@More4Life]

I would agree with you that when that is an option, holding on is the best idea. This video is more for the case when you're carrying something and don't have hands available, or stepping down a curb where there's nothing to hold on to.

Too much talking and not showing on the stairs
