Condition:
Stage 5 Young Onset
Parkinson’s.
Intervention:
Weekly
20-minute KineDek sessions:
- Bev started KineDek sessions on 13
October 2022.
- Initial sessions were seated. Early symptom
changes included better sleep, decreased levels of pain and neuropathy, and
decreased dyskinesia and tremors.

included relaxation of facial muscles and improved bowel function.
- Significant improvements in strength and muscle
development were observed throughout this period. Improved response to
medication was also communicated.
- Except for a vacation and a period of influenza, the weekly schedule was maintained.
- It is observed that if a session is missed, there is a perceptible reversal of symptoms, particularly regarding pain, sleep and neuropathy.
Outcome:
Overall, there has been significant improvement in functionality, accompanied by:
- Improved sleep quality
- Enhanced digestive function
- Better response to medication
- Increased strength and stamina for everyday activities
- No longer requiring the use of a wheelchair, which is typically necessary at Stage 4 Parkinson's
- No apparent signs of dementia, which is typically present at Stage 5
Notably, her facial expression has transformed from a fixed, pained, or frightened look (a marker of disease severity) to completely normal and natural expressions, maintaining this progress for over two years. These advancements demonstrate a remarkable reversal of Parkinson's symptoms, defying expectations at this stage of the disease.
