We were delighted to host Carl Beech, the creator of the Beech Band, a new wearable device to manage Parkinson’s symptoms.

Carl was 51 when he was diagnosed with Young-Onset Parkinson’s.  He began to experience slurring and a rapidly worsening stammer. Faced with the loss of speech, he nearly gave up hope. But then, while experimenting with a therapeutic tapping technique, he had a personal breakthrough – rhythmic tapping allowed him to regulate his speech and relieve his stammer. This led to an idea: what if this could be turned into a wearable device that could help many more people?

Today, Carl will be sharing his experience with the Beech Band.

After 13 months of wearing the device Carl has experienced remarkable changes to his symptoms. Since its release in July over 15,000 have been sold and there have been very positive reactions from user. Whilst this story is inspiring and hopeful,  it’s important to remember that Parkinson’s is complex, and no single approach works for everyone and that the positive responses are anecdotal.


The Beech Band is a wellness device, not a medical treatment, so please speak with your medical team if you have any concerns about using the device or are considering any changes to your medication.
