Don’t let Physical Limitations Isolate you.


This, the third in a series of ten ways “The Hiker” found helpful to living a healthy lifestyle.  PD causes pain, tightness, weakness in muscles and joints.  My Neurologist reminded me that swimming or any kind of water resistance builds strength.  Walking in the pool is an excellent exercise.  Tremors may actually diminish while in the water.  Waste deep water is best.  You can also practice breathing and the arm stroke for swimming.  Ask a buddy to assist you if needed.
