Parkinson's Exercises Mar 06, 2002
By Vicky Lynn
My Fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Miesel, made each of us in her class read a book every week and then to write a review describing the book. I have always loved to read, but how I hated writing that weekly book report. The subject of this book however is, Parkinson's Disease: a subject near and dear to my heart, as I have been suffering from this illness for 12 years. After reading this book, I felt compelled to submit a review to convince other Parkinson's sufferers and professionals treating patients with this illness that this book should be a part of all collections of reference books regarding the treatment of Parkinson's Disease.The 50 page introduction describes how Parkinson's effects individual's suffering from the illness and why exercise is so important for the overall treatment plan for people suffering from Parkinson's Disease. The author, Ann Rosenstein, explains how to begin a water exercise program, covering all aspects. She begins by listing what safety features to look for when choosing a pool to use for an exercise program. She recommends an exercise companion to aid the Parkinson's individual with carrying out his (her) water treatment program and devotes a chapter to describing how the companion can be most effective. Water exercise equipment is recommended to add resistance to the exercise program. The equipment is described as well as photographed. The heart of the book are the photographs and detailed descriptions of the water exercises. Ann Rosenstein carefully describes the exercises step by step with pictures of her going through the exercises with individuals with Parkinson's Disease. She begins with warm-ups and stretching and then proceeds to demonstrate water exercises for the purpose aerobic and strength training. There are four different routines laid out to accommodate the different needs of Parkinson's patients. The book concludes with a chapter devoted to frequently asked questions about water exercise programs. I certainly hope you consider adding this book to your library of books regarding treatment of Parkinson' Disease. It is well worth the investment.

from a parkinson's patient Mar 15, 2002
By Tom Mraz
From the daily struggle in an active life of a PD survivor of 20+ years I am living proof that water exercises are of significant value and importance in the life of anyone who shares these experiences. Ann Rosenstein has done a wonderful job of putting this book together and I hope that other PD patients will benefit from this book and as I have from water exercising.
