Ever wonder why balance can feel a bit trickier with Parkinson's? 🧠🌀

Your vestibular system (sense of head in space) works hand-in-hand with vision and proprioception (sense of body in space) to keep us steady. But because PD can slow down how the central nervous system processes these sensory inputs, it can lead to delayed balance reactions, postural shifts, and dizziness.

The good news? You can train your sensory systems! By challenging visual dependency, incorporating unstable surfaces, and working on eye-head coordination, we can improve stability and confidence.

✨ Ready to put this into practice? Join us starting September 4th for our brand-new vestibular exercise class: V.I.B.E.! Head over to DailyDosePD.com to check it out!

We’re back from the World Parkinson Congress, and we are excited to share what we learned! 💡✨

For the past few months, we have been working behind the scenes on a new framework to bring you more consistent, high-impact education right here on our Instagram page, alongside regular education webinars on Daily Dose.

🗓️ To kick things off, we are hosting a webinar next week with updates from World Parkinson Congress

Title: Looking Beyond Levodopa to Parkinson’s Next Chapter ✨

What to expect: Parkinson's disease isn't "one size fits all," and the future of treatment won't be either. Dive into the latest research on identifying distinct PD profiles and the disease-modifying therapies changing the landscape.

Speaker: Jennie Allex, PT, DPT, NCS

Date: July 16th, 2026

Time: 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Dizzy in the heat? ☀️🌀

If you or a loved one living with Parkinson’s notice an increase in lightheadedness as the temperatures rise, Orthostatic Hypotension (OH) might be to blame.

OH is a temporary drop in blood pressure that happens when moving into a standing position, due to lack of blood flow to the brain. For the Parkinson's community, it can be a "double whammy"—acting both as a common symptom of PD itself (delayed blood pressure regulation) and a frequent side effect of PD medications.

Why does summer make it worse?

Blood vessel dilation: Heat causes your blood vessels to widen, which allows blood to pool in your legs and away from your brain.

Dehydration: Sweating lowers your overall blood volume, making it much harder for your body to maintain steady blood pressure.

Quick tips to stay steady this summer:

⏰ Time it right: Avoid exercising or exerting yourself during the mid-afternoon peak heat. Move your movement indoors where there's air conditioning!

⏸️ Listen to your body: If you start feeling symptomatic, sit down immediately to recover. Drinking 16 ounces of cold water quickly can also help stimulate a reflex that naturally boosts your blood volume and pressure!

💧 Hydrate intentionally: Aim for 55–70 ounces (about 7–9 cups) of water daily, and consider adding electrolyte tablets like Nuun or Liquid I.V. to your routine.

📝 Talk to your MD: Keep a log of your sitting vs. standing blood pressure to share with your doctor. They can help adjust your medications or discuss whether increasing dietary salt is safe for you to help boost blood volume.

Don't let the summer heat sideline your mobility! Take a break from the midday sun, turn on the AC, and let's move together on DailyDosePD.com 💻

This webinar was so good it made our head spin. Dizzy, off balanced light headed? PwPs often attribute these symptoms to the disease but teasing out what’s caused by PD and what may be coming from vestibular issues is key to improvement. We are very thankful to have on our staff to help folks out in the clinic and to present this wonderful talk. Check it out on DDPD today.

Had a great time meeting these wonderful folks at .bl in Ballard yesterday. They’ve incorporated workouts into a daily group class and they like it so much they decided to grow a Mariners mustache just like me. Guess I didn’t get the memo and shaved mine early but I’m now inspired to bring it back!!! Thanks for the laughs and keep up the good work, y’all!

We had a blast with Mat in the clinic as a student PT over the last 7 weeks. He got out of the Texas heat and got a taste of the PNW in the fall. Thanks for all your hard work, Mat. You did a great job of connecting with our patients and progressing your skills. Hope the trip back is safe and best of luck in your residency!
