The big idea, I think, that I want to present to you is become very mindful and present to what your body is actually doing.
Imagine if changing a few daily habits could help ease the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. In this episode of 'Pathways to Parkinson's Relief', Robert Rodgers, PhD, dives into the fascinating world of neural pathways and how creating new ones can offer relief. He explores how our brains can get stuck in old patterns, making symptoms worse, and how new habits can pave the way for improvement.
