Control Arm Tremors and Shaking Exercises For Parkinson’s Disease

I know it is so frustrating when your arm and hand shakes or when you have uncontrollable tremors. But what if you can do exercises that will control your arms from shaking or trembling?
In this video I will show you effective arm exercises if you have Parkinson's disease and is experiencing arm and hand tremors.

When your arms are shaking or when you have tremors, it is very difficult to do your daily activities. You might spill your drink or you might miss your mouth when you’re feeding yourself or when you need to sign your name it is difficult to control your pen.
With occupational therapy, it is important to control the tremors so you can do your daily tasks easier. Together with the medication prescribed by your doctor, the exercises I will show you will help you control your shaking or tremors.

Before we start doing the exercises try to record yourself while you are drinking from my cup. Or, try to write your name on a piece of paper. Then we will compare your performance after doing the exercises.

First exercise is swinging up. Cross your arms in your lap and rapidly swing your arms up. Do this 20 times.

Second exercise is swinging down. Bring your arms crossed in front of your face then rapidly swing down 20 times.

Third exercise is elbow flicking. Start with your hands almost touching your shoulders then quickly straight in your entire arm like you are flicking your forearm. Do this 20 times.

Fourth exercise is wrist flicking. What is your palms facing up bend your wrist upwards then flick your entire hand downwards. Do this 20 times.
Fifth exercise is also wrist flicking but this time your palms are facing down bring your. Fingers up and then flick them downwards. Do this 20 times.
Sixth exercise is wrist shaking. It is just like you’re shaking off water from your hands when you don’t have a hand towel. Do this 20 times.
Seventh exercise is finger flicking. This time you are going to pretend like you’re freaking water from your hands towards somebody in front of you. Put your thumbs over the finger nails of the rest of your fingers. Quickly release your fingers to flick them. Do this 20 times.

Now it is time to test if the exercises are effective. Get your cup again and try to bring it to your mouth see if the tremors are lesser. If you wrote your name before doing the exercises, write your name again and see if it is more legible.

I wanted to be an engineer for so long and when I got the opportunity, They gave me my grades and said my math was good and stuff, but my practical work was a bit below average. I was really upset and didn't know what to do. But i found this video and practice these for about a week and i see significant improvement. I genuinely cant thank you enough

Peace. 80 yrs old. Started having problems with writing. It's not only the writing but the tension that comes with not being able to control the hand especially in public. Hated signing documents. Stressful. Did your exercises. Immediate improvement. Question: what is schedule? Once a day or 3/4 times a day? Can I overdo it? Thanks bro for your work. This has been awesome. I hope your video gets more play with seniors or whoever is suffering from this condition. I'm a believer and have subscribed. Thanks.

Bro… I’ve had ataxia with essential tremors since I was a teen, weirdest thing I have felt in a long time. Before I wrote the second time after the exercises, my conditioning felt the same, and I still felt like I was going to scribble my name, BUT I wrote very eligible, INSANE !!! Thanks Brother I owe you one

[sallyortiz]
