Tremors in Parkinson’s disease are rhythmic muscle contractions that cause shaking or trembling, most commonly in the hands, fingers, or arms. This type of tremor, known as a “resting tremor,” often occurs when the affected body part is at rest and tends to decrease during purposeful movements. Tremors are one of the hallmark symptoms of Parkinson’s and can affect other areas of the body, including the legs, jaws, or head.
Are you living with tremors due to Parkinson’s disease, and are they impacting your quality of life?
If so, there are certain strategies we can implement to help improve your tremors and, more importantly, enable you to manage your Parkinson’s symptoms more effectively. This is just one aspect of life with Parkinson’s that we can assist with.
We can create tailored, structured exercise programs; programs like PD Warrior, designed for people with Parkinson’s, help to improve coordination, strength, and motor control, which may reduce tremor severity. It’s also crucial to employ mind-body techniques such as relaxation methods like deep breathing, meditation, and mindfulness can reduce stress, which is known to exacerbate tremors.
Incorporating assistive devices like weighted utensils, stabilising gloves, and adaptive tools can make daily tasks more manageable. Adjustments in diet, such as reducing caffeine, and focusing on brain-healthy foods may also offer benefits.
While we cannot change the fact that you have tremors, we can offer proactive support tips, and the right exercises, including coordination training, to help you work with your tremors. This way, they are less likely to affect your quality of life, allowing you to continue doing the things you value and enjoy while maintaining your independence despite the challenges tremors present.
