Fighting Parkinson’s, and loosening shoulders and lessening tremors

Last week, I began my video series for symptom relief. Today is the second installment. Two things that bother most people with Parkinson’s are stiff shoulders and tremors. Today’s video helps with both.

I feel that a blockage in Gallbladder Meridian point 21 creates rigidity in the shoulder area and interferes with a smooth flow of energy down the arm. This leads to stiff shoulders and/or shaky arms and hands. Here are three exercises to assist with these issues.

Stand and lean over slightly, allowing your right arm to hang down. You can brace yourself by placing your left hand on a table or chair for support. Swing your right arm in a small circle — about a foot (1/3 meter) in diameter. Perform 10 revolutions in each direction, once or twice per day. Do this on the other side as well. As your shoulders loosen up, you can widen the circles.

Hold one end of a small towel behind your back and grab the opposite end with your other hand. Hold the towel in a horizontal position. Use your left arm to pull your right arm upward to stretch it. Do 10 repetitions once or twice per day.

Sitting or standing, use your left arm to lift your right arm at the elbow, and bring it up and straight across your body, exerting gentle pressure to stretch the shoulder. Do 10 pulls once or twice per day.

Today’s video is a video of these three exercises. It is entitled, “Parkinson’s Symptoms Relief Part 2 — Loosening Shoulders and Lessening Tremors.” Here it is:

If you know somebody with Parkinson’s, please provide them the link to this post to assist them. Also, as I complete new videos, I will upload them to my You Tube Channel, and they can be accessed there.
