The Good, the Bad, and the Reality – Your Source of Strength, Hope, and Support.

Freezing of Gait: The Symptom That Stops You in Your Tracks
Imagine stepping off the curb into traffic and your feet freeze mid-step. Cars are moving, the light is green — but your body hits pause. That’s freezing of gait, and it’s one of the most terrifying symptoms of Parkinson’s.
In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, we’re breaking down:
🧊 What freezing of gait actually is and why it happens
🚪 Common triggers like doorways, stairs, and crowds
🎵 The tricks that help me get unstuck — from counting out loud to humming “Stayin’ Alive”
🚶♂️ Real-life moments where freezing stopped me cold — including one in the middle of traffic
We’ll also talk about what makes freezing so emotionally exhausting and how humor, music, and strategy can help you take back control.
And stick around until the end for a Bryce-ism that reminds us that even when our feet stop — our spirit doesn’t have to.
