Parkinson’s: How to Reduce Symptoms Through Exercise

PARKINSON’S: How to Reduce Symptoms Through Exercise by Kristine Meldrum is part science, part physical therapy/exercise, and part motivational. A pioneer in the establishment of neuro-wellness classes, Meldrum not only promotes the four different types of exercises – cycling, treadmill, progressive strength training, and ‘rock steady boxing’ (a trademark) – she also explains the whys and how exercise stimulates the brain’s neuroplasticity. Kudos and narratives from research physicians (the Cleveland Clinic, Northwestern University and abroad) plus real-life case histories solidify the absolute importance of this book for Parkinson’s Disease patients and their caregivers.
