The key ones are daily exercise, eating a balanced diet, keeping hydrated and having enough sleep. What about nontraditional counselling, though? Over the years, integrative treatments, such as meditation, massage, nutritional supplements and different movement strategies, have inspired studies to assess if they have a role to play in Parkinson's disease cure. Although the jury is still mostly out on some of them, many non-medical approaches to treatment still have quite a bit of potential. The Treatment of Massage Although not very well studied, even if that relief is not permanent, the efficacy of massage in relieving side effects of Parkinson's disease, mainly tremor, appears apparent. Immediately after a 60-minute massage, a 2016 study of studies found a measurable decrease in muscle rigidity and resting tremor. 136 David Street, Dandenong, VIC 3175 www.outpaceparkinsons.com.au

Call: (03) 9791 1599 Email: info@outpaceparkinsons.com.au Therapies of Movement Since Parkinson's disease treatmentsaffect equilibrium and contribute to a progressive loss in motor skills, these effects can be counteracted by some movement therapies. For example, the Alexander Technique, a discipline that emphasizes posture and balance, may help to maintain mobility for patients with Parkinson's disease. This helps to retrain the body to do complicated movements, is another therapy. Activities such as dancing and strength training (lifting weights or using equipment at a gym) can help relieve certain symptoms even though you do not engage in "official" movement therapies. Before embarking on a new workout, consult your doctor from Outpace Parkinsons. Wrapping Up Although engaging in research can benefit you physically directly (on the chance that you can get into a trial for a potential new medication that works for you), it can also leave you better off simply because you were part of something that could change the lives of other people with Parkinson's. It is possible that you will have a sense of mission and something to get interested in. 136 David Street, Dandenong, VIC 3175 www.outpaceparkinsons.com.au
