This first-of-a-kind book based on the author’s experience outlines a comprehensive program specifically geared to those with arthritis, fibromyalgia, and related conditions. This book covers a wide range of movement therapies such as range of motion exercises, low to no-impact aerobics, strength training, and yoga. This book is unique in that it covers a wide range of techniques, which are specifically geared to, and have been proven helpful for, those with arthritis like conditions. The exercises are all explained in detail utilizing safe body mechanics and are illustrated in standing, standing holding onto a chair, and seated variations to accommodate a wide variety of abilities. Also included are instructions for exercising in the water. This complete wellness program goes beyond the traditional exercise book offering information on home safety, fall prevention, activities of daily living, and body mechanics (including how to get up from the floor) as well as techniques to improve posture and balance. Each chapter includes brief explanations on how each movement technique physiologically affects the body and how they specifically help those with arthritis, fibromyalgia, and related conditions. The strength training chapter also includes simple muscle diagrams to educate readers about which muscle group(s) they are targeting. The yoga section includes exercises aimed at maintaining range of motion in the hands and feet. This book also provides information on stress management and provides instruction in four different relaxation/meditation techniques. If you are looking for a complete program to help you manage your symptoms and enhance your quality of life, then this book is for you.

Good For Teachers,
This review is from: The Book of Exercise and Yoga for Those with Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and Related Conditions: Using Movement and Meditation to Manage Pain and Improve Joint Range of Motion (Plastic Comb)
This is agood book for those who instruct people with physical problems. It has some easy to understand "special" exercises. It is a hard book to use because of the spiral binding, but well worth the time.
