Over half of people living with Parkinson's may experience freezing. It can happen at any stage, but is most common in advanced Parkinson's.

If you freeze, you may suddenly not be able to walk or step forward, even if you want to. This can last for a few seconds, or sometimes 30 seconds or longer. You might find your leg or legs shaking on the spot. You may be able to move forward slowly, taking small steps, or not be able to move forward at all.

It can happen at any time, but you may experience it when you're starting to walk, walking towards or through a doorway, when you move from one style of flooring to another and turning or changing direction. You're more likely to freeze if you're tired, feeling anxious or have had hallucinations.

But you're not alone. Speak to your specialist or Parkinson’s nurse about the best treatment for your freezing. They can refer you to an occupational therapist or physiotherapist, take a look at your medication, and give advice on walking aids if needed.

You can also call our free, confidential helpline for support and advice: 0808 800 0303. 🩵
