Dear Francine,
Here’s a video I made that demonstrates the “And-Up!” technique I developed for people living with Parkinson’s Disease. This technique, when learned and practiced, will help many rise from a chair to a standing position. Enjoy but proceed with caution.

All exercise has an inherent risk of injury so proceed cautiously.
