I am so pleased the Parkinson's community has your expertise! My father passed away from complications of Parkinson's. However I have Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA); a similar but distinctly different neorological disorder with similar but distinctly different neorological symptoms. When I look through your videos I have to adapt your exercises for SCA and pull fromultiple videos. Could you please do a video or series of videos for home OT for the Spinocerebellar Ataxia community.

Hi,
You are doing great job 🙏
Can you please let me know how Parkinson patients can get sleep without keeping their body tight?
If body is kept relaxed intentionally sleep won't come.
It is observed that, unknowingly, sleep comes only when body is kept tight in one or the other way.

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Hmmm. Ive bo encountered that. I always advise getting relaxed. Maybe use a weighted blanke
