So, onto this months question, which is something my Team and I help with on a daily basis. Can anything be done to improve the muscle and joint stiffness you have with PD?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The short answer is\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Yes, we can<\/strong> make really great improvements in muscle and joint stiffness (this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just for our client\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s with PD, by the way!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The long answer is Yes \u00e2\u20ac\u201c but<\/strong> what we do depends on why the stiffness is there and what muscles and joints it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s affecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some top tips that DO NOT involve changing\/increasing your PD medication to help improve your muscle stiffness with PD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Get neuro active DAILY! Yes, getting neuro active with PD can go a long way to reducing the stiffness many people experience with PD<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Get stretching \u00e2\u20ac\u201c regular stretching of the right muscles and joints, at the right level and length of time is a terrific way to get on top of your stiffness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Get stronger \u00e2\u20ac\u201c weakness is a very common challenge many people with PD face, getting the right muscle strengthening exercises into your weekly regime is vital to keep you fighting the symptoms of PD<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Deep tissue massage into the right muscles \u00e2\u20ac\u201c this is a great way of giving the muscles a good loosen off so that they feel looser and less stiff, helping you get more out of your Neuro Active Exercise programme and your life with PD.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
