We often talk about exercise and activities as a great way to slow the progress of Parkinson's symptoms. Golf may not be one that comes to mind. Until now.
In this episode I speak with a golf instructor who specializes in the biomechanics of the golf swing. His father had Parkinson’s disease. This led him to a passion for helping PWP. It just so happens the correct way to stand and swing a club and even the best way to putt aligns with the best posture for PwP to help with balance, core, and flexibility. I’m a golfer but really didn’t think about it in terms of my Parkinson’s. It is good to know with a few changes, I could knock strokes off my handicap and continue to play longer. If you play golf, you are really going to learn something. If you don’t play, you will still learn a lot about your body, posture, balance, and gait. You may decide to pick up the game. It’s never too late.
