Welcome to the Franklin Method Fellowship! This is a video podcast hosted by physical therapists Solange Ross and Debora Chasse. In this podcast we share our passion for the Franklin Method and how we use it in daily life, all forms of exercise, and integrate it into our physical therapy practices. You will find movement practices to help you connect to your body to improve the way you move and feel. The Franklin Method is a therapeutic approach which uses imagery in daily movement and exercise. In the Franklin Method we use imagery to improve the ability to be present in our body, release tension, and become more efficient in our movement. This helps improve balance, flexibility, strength, coordination, posture, and alignment. Our experience shows that many people notice a shift in their mood and a reduction in pain. All of the exercises are functional and look at everyday movements such as walking, bending, breathing, reaching, carrying, and posture to name a few. The exercises are appropriate for all fitness levels. If you are just beginning an exercise program, make sure to consult with your doctor. The practices in this podcast are not intended to be medical advice.

In this episode we discuss Parkinson's Disease and some of the common symptoms associated with it. We share exercises that can help improve rigidity, a flexed posture, proprioception, balance and coordination. We kept this episode short as there is so much information about Parkinson's Disease and it affects many systems of the body. Our previous episodes on the heart, lungs, breathing, and pelvic floor are also beneficial for Parkinson's Disease. Make sure that you've checked with your doctor, and you have a safe setup when practicing the exercises. We show a lot of modifications to make them very accessible for all levels. If you do not feel comfortable with the exercises you can still benefit by watching the exercises and imagining that you are doing the movements. Enjoy the episode!
The Franklin Method is also called Dynamic Neuro-Cognitive Imagery. There has been research done on using imagery with people with Parkinson's Disease. Here is the study below for reference.
