Ohhh, red  light therapy! I was thinking you meant a ‘happy’ light, like you can buy at Costco!

I have tried red light therapy and quite like it. Unfortunately the location of the place that offers it is very inconvenient. I’m not sure if it made any difference as I really only stuck with it for a month or so, but it was a good excuse for a 20 m…[Read more]

Reflexology hasn’t been on my radar at all. Maybe it should be. I’ve had Botox injections in my foot about 3 times in the past 2 years. That really helps the pain, but is such a painful process itself, at this point I can’t bear the thought of doing it again.

Hi Andrew, I’m glad you mentioned pickle ball. I’ve heard it’s tons of fun. I think I will look into that this winter.

Jeffery, I too tell people that exercising is my new job. Lucky to be able to have the time, that’s for sure!

I really liked yoga a few years ago, but by last year my tremor became so overwhelming during yoga classes I felt worse during the class instead of better. I tried again recently, but my tremor really exploded, became pretty much a full body tremor. Super uncomfortable.

Hi! I’ve been doing Rock Steady Boxing 3 times/week for the past two years, but a couple of months ago decided I need a bit more of a challenge, so joined our local Y. My exercise routine is now

Sunday: 1 hour spin class. Monday: 1 hour total body conditioning Tuesday: 1/2 hour on the elliptical machine, 1/2 hour core work-out Wednesday: Rock…[Read more]
