Hi, Having taught martial arts for over 20 yr (retired about 7 yr) I would suggest a tai chi class. this should be practiced at least once a day. i recently had a cold and noticed that my balance was bit precarious until it resolved. need to practice falling eg going into a front roll as in gymnastics. good luck. \Randy Games to entertain your brain. http://www.stargraphics.com Star Graphics Corp 10943 S Forest Ridge Ln Oregon City, OR 97045 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Kerr" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, September 04, 2006 2:10 PM Subject: DESPERATE for help with balance >I have been diagnosed with PD for 4 1/2 yearsl.
