Despite being in pain and feeling very unwell at times, keeping active is vitally important. It is sometimes a fine line between doing enough exercise to keep ones muscles and range of movement, and yet not overdoing things, causing pain or damage. Having Gaucher and Parkinson’s proves very difficult in getting the correct balance of exercise just right. I am fortunate to have a wonderful team of physiotherapists at our local health center, who are excellent. After learning a whole regime of exercises, I am able to continue doing these at home, which I conscientiously do twice a day.
Ouch... when people do exercise and physiotherapy do you reckon it helps to listen to music while doing it - as in movie soundtracks here http://www.fisheadmovie.com/downloads (free), or would it be counter-productive? I'm sorry about the chronic diseases. I think it's always a good thing to make other people aware of what an experience is like though. I am fortunate that I do exercise without balance complications. It is awesome to hear about the helpful physiotherapists. x
