Q: last two year i have parkinson's disease first stage, is there any way to relax from muscle stiffness while walking?

: Parkinson's is associated with muscle tightness and rigidity, and not unique to suffer difficulty with gait (marche a petit pas), with some instability. Your neurologist could use medications to help, but physical therapy should definitely be tried as it may contribute valuable help.
