An indispensable guide for Pilates Instructors who may not have experience working with Parkinson's clients.

This book is written for people with Parkinson's, especially in the early stages who are looking for an exercise regime that will keep them strong, flexible and as mobile as possible. Physiotherapists may also find this book a useful aid to their practice. Up to date medical information is provided, written in such a way that is easy to understand for someone from a non-medical background. In the early stages of Parkinson's, formal physiotherapy input may not be indicated however it is important that the client makes sure they incorporate an appropriate exercise regime into their routine.

Sarah Sessa is a physiotherapist and Pilates Instructor. She qualified as a physiotherapist from University College London in 1995 and went on to specialise in neuro-rehabiliation, oncology and palliative care.
