Breathing Through: Mindfulness as a Parkinson's Treatment Tool

The Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson's Podcast

Research shows mindfulness and meditation can improve some Parkinson’s (PD) symptoms and help people live a better life with the disease, but it can be tricky to put into practice. In this podcast, you’ll hear from people whose lives have been touched by PD and who use mindfulness to reduce symptoms and stress, and from a researcher who is studying how mind-body strategies can be used to treat Parkinson’s. Tune in for practical tips, advice and a guided meditation you can try at home.
