The BeechBand is a device that uses vibrations to help with a range of motor and non-motor Parkinson’s symptoms.
Worn on the wrist, the product’s tapping sensation is said to help reduce anxiety, dyskinesia, rigidity, walking problems, and speech difficulties.
The product was designed by someone who lives with Parkinson’s.
A wearable vibrating device that was created to help with multiple Parkinson’s symptoms. Some reviewers felt less anxious while reviewing it but all reviewers found the vibration too loud and battery life too short.

I have been using BB for just over a week. Easy to purchase. First thoughts on using was that I felt very calm. It is a little noisy at first but I have become accustomed to it. Sleep & pain is improved & my toes don’t curl quite as much - overall very pleased!

Got this ten days ago, and have been wearing it for about 7hours a day, in between charging times. I find I have more energy and improved mobility and flexibility. Sleep quality also better. Haven’t changed anything else about my routine - daily medication and exercise remains

Only has a very minor impact on symptoms for me - I think it does help me slightly when very off but makes no difference the rest of the time. Strap is fiddly to do up and noise can be irritating. Probably still worth a try as it appears to have a big impact for some people.

Only first day, but felt a noticeable difference- wanted to wear longer but battery life seems short- buying a second so I always have access - pain while walking significantly reduced- it’s noisy but from day 1 experience I’m happy to have the sound for comfort walking

I’m wearing the mask beechband every day and turn it on when I try to communicate with others. It reduces my stammer and helps me speak louder and more clearly. It isn’t waterproof and you need to be careful when bathing or showering. It is straightforward to use and charge.
