Parkinson's Disease & Art of Moving by John Argue

Neurologists universally recommend making exercise a part of the daily regimen of every Parkinson's patient. This is the only book that tells people with the disease and their caregivers how to follow that advice. Movement teacher John Argue has distilled the information from his classes for Parkinson's patients into a comprehensive exercise program designed to help readers improve flexibility, balance, gait, and communication. Over 100 photographs clearly illustrate the exercises, which derive from Yoga and Tai Chi techniques and theater movement skills, and encompass a variety of daily activities.
