Living with Parkinson’s

Improv Therapy for Parkinson's: The Unexpected Treatment That Actually Works


Listen Later

 When doctors said "manage your symptoms," I found something better: improv therapy. Here's how saying "Yes, And" to Parkinson's changed everything about how I live with this disease. 

WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:

 ✓ Why traditional therapy wasn't enough 

✓ How improv principles apply to Parkinson's challenges 

✓ The "Yes, And" technique for daily symptoms 

✓ Real results from 6 months of improv therapy 

✓ How to find improv programs in your area 

🎭 Ever feel like Parkinson’s stole the fun out of life? What if I told you laughter and improv could help bring it back? In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, The Bad, and The Reality, we dive deep into the power of improvisation with Rosemary, Dan, from Improv for Work and Wellness, www.improvforworkandwellness.com & Morgan, from Parkinson Canada — plus a surprise guest appearance from Bryce's wife, Carmen!

We tackle why improv isn’t just for comedians — it’s a game-changer for people living with Parkinson’s and their care partners. We talk about the challenges, the laughs, and the unexpected ways improv builds confidence, voice, and community.

🔔 Stay tuned to the end — we play some hilarious improv games live and even roast Parkinson’s itself. You might just discover a new way to beat isolation, boost your mood, and reclaim a little bit of control.
