Dual task practice is important in improving neuroplasticity, executive function, and enhancing neural pathways. Did you know that Parkinson’s Boxing classes provide activities that target dual tasking and sometimes boxing is not involved? Well at our classes, we aim to promote brain change, and we do all of that in fun creative ways, further creating salience.

Freezing of gait.(FOG) can, and does lead to falls, and sometimes injuries with people with Parkinson’s Disease. Research suggests that people who experience FOG more commonly have the postural instability/gait difficulty phenotype and are less tremor-dominant. This is not to say that people who have tremors, cannot and do not have FOG. No matter what, balance training and gait training is a must!!!

Balance and gait training must involve weight shifting tasks with repetition to promote neuroplasticity. Adding music or a metronomic rhythm can also help. In this video, my patient is recovering from a fall at home and had stopped walking. Fear of falling had also set in, and here you see him finally getting back to his walking to include turns and retro-walking. He’s proud and so am I !! (verbal cues not played for privacy)

Try This Simple Balance Exercise At Home

The Heel-to-Toe Walk is a great way to improve balance and coordination.

It is simple, safe, and commonly used in neurological therapy to help strengthen stability and body awareness.

Here’s how to do it:

Stand in a hallway or near a wall for support.
Place the heel of one foot directly in front of the toes of the other foot.
Walk slowly in a straight line.
Take about 10 to 15 steps.
Turn around and repeat.

Move slowly and stay controlled with each step.

Safety tip: Stay close to a wall, counter, or sturdy surface if you need support.

Small exercises like this can help strengthen balance and confidence over time.

Sit-to-Stand Challenge

Here’s a simple exercise you can try at home that helps support strength, balance, and independence.

Start by sitting in a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the floor.

Stand up slowly.
Sit back down with control.
Repeat 8 to 10 times.

If possible, try to stand without using your hands. If you need support, place your hands on the armrests or your thighs.

This movement helps strengthen the legs and core, which are important for walking, balance, and everyday activities like getting up from a chair or bed.

Small exercises practiced consistently can make a big difference over time.
