Yes. Visualizing the mouvement before you start it also helps. They have found out that when you watch someone rowing (for example), your brain sends signals to your muscles as though you were rowing to. Athletes find that visualizing a mouvement before learning it (jump, somersault or whatever) helps reduce the accidents. I tried it with John ( 'my' PWP) when he went through a patch of not being able to get up from the bed alone and it worked. maryse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn *** This Message Has Been Sent Using my BlackBerry
