Hi All, I truly believe that physical therapy and regular excercise have helped immensly with Georges balance plus his stamina. He has not had a fall in almost 2 yrs. He went through gruelng PT 2 yrs ago. Then again in Feb this yr. This last time was for strengthening after his having 6 mo of medical problems nonrelated to PD He is again walking everyday,weather permitting. He also does stretchs and 5-10 lb wts for arm strengthening..I really don't think Geo would ever have been able to walk again without assistence had he not been pushed so hard in PT. Just some positive food for thought!
