sand
There is one activity that makes me feel almost PD-free: walking barefoot on the moist, pliant sand of a flat beach. Something about the texture of the sand against my skin and the way my movement meets the sand’s resistance lengthens my stride, steadies my balance, and allows me to recapture, briefly and not quite completely, how it feels to walk normally.
When a friend’s son was recovering from a lower leg injury, part of his therapy was for his leg to be rubbed with sand.
What is going on with sand?
