Parkinson's Disease & the Art of Moving

An excellent book to help parkinsons patients with exercise. Well documented and easy to understand.

I found this book helpful for helping a friend who has parkinsons and also my 85 year old mother, who only has aged-related physical disability. The movements are grounded in the theory behind Tai Chi and the Martial Arts, which is the gold-standard behind many other books dealing with body work.

We set this program up with a family member who has PD; it got her moving and using muscles that she hadn't used in a while. Not only is it an effective set of exercises, it is also fun for her and her caregiver. We like the way it gives her time to work on certain exercises for an extended period of time before moving on, as well as giving her a new set to look forward to. Thanks for exactly what we needed!

I have not read this book yet. It was recomended to me on parkinson disease. I have other sources to use. I have heard great things of the book.

John Argue's method is one that will definitely benefit any Parkinson's sufferer and their caregivers. I also highly recommend the DVDs. The only thing better is to see John in person!
