Picking up this book is a good move

This upbeat and inspiring book is a practical and comprehensive guide to using physical activity to treat a variety of illnesses and conditions. I just loved the quote from the National Institute on Aging on the bck cover: "If exercise could be packed in a pill, it would be the single most widely prescribed, and beneficial, medicine in the nation." Healing moves has more than 100 easy-to-follow illustrations of healing movements drawn from tai chi, yoga, and other aerobic and strengthening techniques and draws on experts in the fields of medicine and the mind-body connection to help you improve your physical outlook and well-being.
