>Dear Claudia: Thanks for your postings. Sounds like you had a real saga >with the hip replacement(s). Your story is helpful. My mother >who had PD had a knee replacement and then lost her motivation to >exercise. So it eventually got locked into position. I am a user of >Feldenkrais; we have communicated about that earlier. I'm wondering >how you are using it and how that is going for you. > I see a practitioner monthly for an hour and that really loosens >me up. In betweeen times, I incorporate the exercises into my yoga >routine and that seems to keep me going. I also use Nautilus machines, last >year with a trainer. This year on my own. I have to be careful not to >overdo it. I discovered that if I do and get muscle spasms, Flexeril >works like magic. I take it when the spasms begin, just before I go to >bed, and over night it works to cut out the continued spasming. > Keep up the good work. Bob Newbrough > > Bob Newbrough
