Average Customer Rating: (8 reviews)

Editorial Review: Faced with an incurable and often debilitating illness, Parkinson's patients must relearn how to sit up in a chair, speak clearly, keep their balance while walking, and stand from a sitting position. Over 100 photographs illustrate exercises derived from yoga and t'ai chi techniques; and theater movement skills show readers how to cope as gracefully as possible with the loss of coordination that Parkinson's patients experience.

a great book for helping those who have parkinsons disease and others with disability, 2008-02-26
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.

Great at-home program, 2007-08-23
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!

A wonderful book!, 2007-01-05
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!

Book is terrific, so are tapes, 2006-11-15
Doing the exercises in this book has helped my husband, who has Parkinson's, to improve his balance and strength. Before he was falling; now he's not. John Argue has also made tapes, a series of ten 20-minutes tapes with a class of Parkinsonians demonstrating the exercises which are extremely helpful and which can be bought directly from him; contact information for obtaining the tapes is in the book.
