Hi to PjB and Joanie,

I am a member of my local pd group and they provide various therapies for members.

There are various therapies and I choose the Alexander Technique after reading about it and also google!!Whilst googling  I came across the NHS and ALexander Technique and they recommended it for people with Parkinsons. The group funds 6 sessions and as it has helped me I am carrying on with them for  more sessions.

I am sure PjB they would help your neck etc,and Joanie enjoy googling!!You can also buy books from Amazon,i got an excellent one called The Alexander Technique in a nutshell it cost less  than £3 including delivery charges.

Hoping this information helps.Cheers Anne

Hi Anne,

I've had a nose around on google about the Alexander Technique and it's really interesting and worth looking into further.  I'd never even heard of it until you mentioned it so thanks for that.
