Benefits of exercise In Parkinson disease
  • Parkinson disease tends to affect the central
    nervous system which directly affects the
    persons ability to move. Exercise will helps a
    lot for a person who is suffering from this
    disease. Although exercise can not cure this
    disease completely, but it helps them to keep
    their muscles strong and will improve mobility as
    well as flexibility.
  • Exercises good for Parkinsons
  • To fight from the Parkinson disease one needs to
    include mixed exercise like aerobics, stretching
    and strength training so that you can do your
    daily life functions and add some quality to
    life. Exercise is not only good for your body but

Aerobic Exercises  Aerobics exercises are good
for maintaining and improving the cardiovascular
fitness. This exercise includes walking or
cycling. Walking is the best practice for a
Parkinson patient, but if you find it difficult
to make balance and it seems difficult to walk
then you can opt for stationary cycling. It will
be helpful for muscle control and will reduce
muscle rigidity plus you will be able to decrease
risk of falls. Stretching exercise  This
exercise will helps in reducing muscle tightness.
Due to Parkinsons disease one will suffer from
forward flexed posture it will affect the
frontal side of the body like chest, shoulders,
neck and it feels difficult as flexibility of
muscles will decrease. Therefore during
stretching exercise your main focus should be the
neck, chest and upper back. You can begin with
some simple exercise motions like clapping,
transferring the palms in rotating movements or
stretching for some minutes by standing at one
point.

Strengthening exercise  Since due to this
disease there is a decrease in flexibility in
your body muscles and it becomes a difficult job
to keep your back straight, sometimes you may
feel overstretched as back muscles are not able
to perform their job well. Under such
circumstances you need to do some strengthening
exercises so that you can improve your back
musculature strengths. You need proper training
exercise in order to get better movement.
Postural strengthening exercises are also
important as they will help to maintain good
posture and will also be helpful in improving the
functional capacity. Boxing therapy
advantage  Parkinsons  boxing therapy also play
a significant role to strengthen all those areas
which get weakened because of this disease like
balancing, motor skills, movement, and sensory
functioning. Boxing requires quick response which
helps the patient to engage their brain.

In this type of therapy a patient doesnt need to
hit the other person. Here the patient will
target only on the punching bag. With the help of
boxing a patient can re-ignite the link between
his/her body and brain, along with that he/she
will be able to boost the lost self-esteem and
confidence. Exercising is essential it helps you
to continue you day to day activity independently
that you enjoy the most. It is recommended that
you need to consult a professional before
beginning so that you will get good results for
the efforts.
