[Parkinsons's Disease and the Art of Moving] . . . offers a comprehensive program designed to help readers cope with the lack of coordination that accompanies Parkinson’s disease. It starts off with a foreword by a person with Parkinson’s and a neurologist on the symptoms and the need to relearn what comes naturally to most people, such as how to sit up in a chair, speak clearly, keep their balance while walking, and stand up from a sitting position. Movement teacher and author John Argue has distilled the information from his classes for Parkinson’s patients into a complete exercise program designed to help readers increase flexibility, strength, balance, and improve communication. Over 100 photographs clearly illustrate the exercises, which are derived from Yoga and Tai Chi techniques and theater movement skills and accompany a variety of daily activities that most people take for granted. Argue teaches readers how to ‘go to the floor’ without hurting themselves, how to find their balance and lose it gracefully, how to stand up without sitting down suddenly, and includes thoughtful advice to help readers integrate the exercises into their daily lives.”
