For me it’s like I forget how to get my leg moving. If I slap my right thigh it ‘wakes’ up my brain to leg connection. Especially stepping off of a curb, starting up steps. After getting out of a car.

It’s exactly as the lady describes in the video. Unfortunately it can be erratic, some days she is quite fluid in her movements other days this freezing of gait returns. I try to assist her by holding her hand and giving her some moral support but as you probably know Parkinson’s symptoms are very variable. Some good days some bad days. Medication naturally plays an important part in controlling the symptoms but my wife at times becomes very frustrated with herself. It’s not nice to see your partner like this but we still have each other and I consider it a privilege to be able to help her in what ever way I can. But in answer to your question we have no magic tips to share other than try to keep your spirits up each day!
