- Your Type of Parkinson’s
You have identified as Parkinsons type BRADYKINESIA
When slow, small movements bother you the most
Your exercise program needs to focus on exaggerated movements and power.
Your movements have become slower and smaller due to changes in how your brain processes motor signals. Parkinson’s affects the basal ganglia, a brain region responsible for initiating and scaling movement. As dopamine-producing neurons decline, your brain misjudges movement size and speed, leading to a gradual shrinking of motion. Without feedback or correction, this misperception reinforces itself, making movements increasingly inefficient These changes often happen so slowly that it is hard to notice from day to day. Your normal way of movement becomes smaller and slower as it recalibrates over time.
The best core exercise for you to get started on is Scarf Snatch.
This exercise focuses on arm swing and ballistic, powerful movements. This is a great exercise if your main symptoms are small, slow movements and you have trouble with fine motor control. You can increase the difficulty of the task by adding a second scarf or progressing to a tennis ball.
