I can’t tell you how proud I am to be this amazing woman’s daughter.
My mum is visiting from Australia 🇦🇺. Last year she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Thankfully she is doing well and doing regular Pilates in Oz. But while she is here I am making sure she is getting lots of Pilates time with me. She is also educating herself in everything about Parkinson’s.
Now if you looked at her medical file you wouldn’t expect her to move as well as she does - along with Parkinson’s disease, she has had triple bypass, clot in lung, hiatus hernia. And is 78.
But the power of Pilates is teaching the person in front of you. And she is strong 💪 and needs to be challenged to face this nasty disease.
So so proud, but still feeling very guilty that I can’t help her regularly. 🇦🇺😔
To me this is exactly what Pilates is about. Helping those move that need it the most. ❤️
