==========

Art and music have long been used as therapy to help alleviate psychological and neurological disease, but there has been little study on its use by Parkinson’s patients. There's hope art and music may help with some symptoms of the disease. 

Symptoms reported to improve with art therapy include:

• Tremor

• Freezing

• Impaired speech

• Isolation and depression

Watch and discuss - a short video about how a person with Parkinson's is using art and music to ease their symptoms.
