💜 Living Brave with Parkinson’s: How Luke Turned a Diagnosis into Determination 💜

When Luke first noticed the subtle signs of Parkinson’s, he never imagined it would lead to a journey defined by courage, community, and movement.

Refusing to let Parkinson’s define him, Luke made a conscious choice to live brave, and his story is one of resilience and purpose, culminating in an extraordinary achievement.

Evidence based research has demonstrated that PDW exercises have the capacity to improve hand function through consistent forced use and increased motor output, driving neuroplasticity principles.

Remember to join us for our lunchtime classes every Tuesday online at 1pm. PD Warrior Coach Courtney will be running these FREE sessions on Fine Motor Function, combining PD Warrior exercises with focused hand function work.

If you missed our Exercise of the Month, here's a reminder!

⭐ Scissors, Paper, Rock ⭐

This childhood favourite becomes a powerful way to work on your fine motor skills, hand coordination, and voice projection.

Here’s how it works:

1. Grab a buddy (or practice solo in front of a mirror).
2. Play best of 3 rounds of Scissors, Paper, Rock.
3. Focus on big, strong hand movements (really exaggerate the scissors, paper, or rock!).
4. Add in voice projection by calling out your move loud and proud.

Why it helps:
✅ Improves dexterity and finger coordination
✅ Builds arm strength and control
✅ Boosts confidence with strong, projected voice
✅ Makes exercise playful and engaging

Repeat this exercise a few times each week over October and notice the improvements in control, speed, and clarity of movement.

Tip: Don’t rush it — make each movement crisp, deliberate, and powerful. The bigger the motion, the better the brain-body connection!

This month in PD Warrior PLUS, we're focusing on Fine Motor Function.

Ever noticed your hands feel clumsy at the start of a task, but loosen up as you go?
That’s where priming sets come in.
Just like warming up before a workout, priming gets your brain and hands ready for action.
👉 Close your fists (“squeeze the lemons”)
👉 Open your hands wide
👉 Repeat 5 times × 3–5 sets before tackling a fine-motor task like buttoning, writing, or jewellery.

This simple routine wakes up your nervous system, improves coordination, and helps your hands listen better.
Try it before your next task and feel the difference! 💪

For more tips, education, and workouts head to the PLUS platform.

💡 Did you know?

Fine motor skills — like handwriting, buttoning, and using cutlery — may feel difficult with Parkinson’s. But the right training can make a real difference.

👉 Exercises that focus on forced use, priming sets, and high-effort hand movements can help retrain your brain and strengthen your hands.

At PD Warrior, we make this training fun and effective, so those small daily wins keep adding up.

⭐ Join us every Tuesday at 1pm for our FREE 20-minute workouts focusing on Fine Motor Function. Head to the PD Warrior PLUS Events page to find the links.
