There has been quite an interest in Tai Chi and Tai Chi videos so I thought I should advise anyone interested about a specific Tai Chi video made by a Parkinsonian. It is called "Taoist Tai Chi for People With Parkinsons". It is available through the Taoist Tai Chi Society of Canada, through the Toronto chapter office. The video is by Asunta Sciani who has had PD for at least 10 years. She is relatively intolerant of PD medication and tried Tai Chi as a last resort. At the time she was becoming quite immobile. Through Tai Chi she has been able to reduce her medications, and is now a full time instructor. Her flexibility and general all round health have improved dramatically. She has developed the specific exercises for maximum benefit to those with Parkinsons. She is an inspiration to all Parkinsonians. The video can be obtained by calling the Taoist Tai Chi Society office in Toronto at 416-656-2110. Their address is: 1376 Bathurst Street, Toronto, Ontario M5R 3J1 The price of the video is $24 (Canadian) or $22 (US). You can pay by cheque of money order or by VISA over the phone.
