Walking and Parkinson's: Matt's tips on being out and about

[@lisaa6099]

What a brilliant guy, bless him .

[@roberture5903]

God bless you my friend, I have MS and I can't walk as well as you. I'm on a walker but I'm still walking.

What a great slogan t-shirt; I love his philosophy of engaging with the public.

Thank you Matt for this really helpful video. I hope you are keeping well.

It’s great to hear advice from someone who has the disease. I mean, it’s good to hear from doctors but I like hearing it from someone who is experiencing it.

The walking tips are so helpful. I too, have problems on blank surfaces without a visual cue and I often slow or freeze. It does get worse when I think people are staring and I get anxiety from that.

Like the t shirt .

I'm not drunk and i'm not dancing. I have Parkinson's. It can really hurt sometimes and I rest until it feels better.

I haven't been mistaken for a drunk but I did fall down once at the edge of a boardwalk and I hurt myself so I sat there for a while to get my bearings and to determine if I had broken anything. Then I looked up and I realized that I had fallen outside of a pub. Bad optics! I have progressive MS and your tips for walking are good. Don't rush across intersections. I did that once in San Francisco and I had a bad fall in the middle of the intersection. I do what Matt does. I wave at the drivers who stop at crosswalks for me to thank them. I find that sometimes the trades vans stop quite far back to make it clear to me that it's safe to cross. They are courteous here in Victoria, BC.

[@alashea2974]

Because of the dyskinsia, sometimes people think I have been taking psychedelic drugs.

Matt: I’ll pay for a the T-shirt. Size US-Large. Can you direct me to your source? Excellent video. Where’d ya get it???

[@DCFunBud]

That cane could be too short for outside walking. 1:33. See how his right shoulder is dipping? I use a cane that height for standing around the house -- a taller one for walking outside. Therapists are obsessed with "too tall" canes. They don't walk with one. What do they know?

[@Cruella-Deville]

You are a lovely man. I have it too

[@WECOOK1969]

i have Parkinson’s disease

[@shehlababayeva]

Allah şəfa versin bütün parkinson xəstəsinə amin
