April is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month. For those who are not familiar with PD, it is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease include tremors, slowed movement, rigidity, impaired posture and balance, loss of automatic movements, speech changes, and more. These symptoms are caused when the Dopamine producing nerve cells in the brain break down or die. While there is no cure for PD, there are ways of managing the disease progression. Exercise is crucial for disease management. Exercise increases dopamine levels, which can reduce some of the above-mentioned symptoms. Exercise also addresses posture and gait changes, improves sleep, reduces depression and anxiety, and improves digestion and circulation.
Program design varies widely based on individual needs and abilities. At Reneu Health, we rely on evidence-based practice and detailed assessment to develop the most effective exercise plan for each client. In general, exercise can improve posture, balance, gait, and cognitive function. Exercise intensity is also important, as research suggests that consistent intensive exercise heightens Dopamine sensitivity and increases growth factors in the brains of those with the disease. (See research from Dr. Giselle Petzinger, board-certified neurologist from Keck school of medicine at USC)
If you have additional questions about how a personalized exercise program can be used to manage movement disorders, please contact us.
We look forward to continuing to serve our valued clients, providing education, and collaborating with local support groups.

My husband was diagnosed of Parkinsons disease 2 years ago, when he was 49. He had a stooped posture, tremors, right arm does not move and also a pulsating feeling in his body. He was placed on Senemet for 8 months and then Siferol was introduced and replaced the Senemet, during this time span he was also diagnosed with dementia. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took him off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started him on PD natural herbal formula we ordered from AKANNI HERBAL CENTRE, his symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the AKANNI HERBAL Parkinsons disease natural herbal formula. He is now almost 51…
To me It is very bad what Big pharma are doing, why keep making humans suffer greatly just to get profits annually for medications that don't work. I'm glad that herbal remedies are gaining so much awareness and many people are getting off medications and activating their entire body system with natural herbal remedies and they have become holistically healed totally, It’s also crucial to learn as much as you can about your diagnosis.
