<< I had the opportunity to take some "Feldenkrais" movement training. Part of this discipline is based on the idea that Parkinson's erases muscle memory (e.g.: touch typing, etc.) My trainer worked with me to choreograph several alternate ways of doing a variety of things. Getting out of bed, lying on the floor for excercises, getting up again, excercise walking, deliberately creating facial expressions to replace Parkinson stone face. I sometimes joke that I'm stuck at Walden Pond - living life deliberately! >> George, I too have done some Feldenkrais work, and I found it very powerful. Tai chi has also helped me create new muscle memories. "Living life deliberately" aptly describes what it is like to inhabit this condition.
