As part of Parkinson’s UK’s wider campaign, THIS IS PARKINSON’S, this film aims to raise awareness and deepen public understanding of Parkinson’s symptoms.
Freezing is one of the most distressing symptoms for people with Parkinson’s. When someone freezes they may not be able to move forward again for several seconds or even minutes – they may feel like their lower half is stuck, but the top half of their body is still able to move. This can be dangerous, affecting people’s balance but also their self-confidence and sense of independence in public situations.
