Mind-Body Healing at its Best: Dance for Parkinson’s Disease

44 Comments

It’s funny how many people feel a pang of hesitation, reluctance, or even fear when they’re invited to dance. Who hasn’t heard someone say, when being pulled onto the floor, “oh no, I can’t dance!”

I’ll admit, I leaned that way, too. I left the dancing to those with natural rhythm and “moves.”

My view has changed, though, because I’ve realized how much dancing embodies what our NICABM community is about – the connection between the mind, the body, and the spirit.
Others have realized this connection, too.

I invite you to watch the brief video below, which will provide you with an exciting glimpse of an innovative mind-body program called Dance for Parkinson’s Disease. For this unique therapy, I really think you’ll need to see the participants in action:

The film Why Dance for Parkinson’s Disease, excerpted here, was produced by the Brooklyn Parkinson Group and Mark Morris Dance Group, with funding provided by the National Parkinson Foundation.

You can find out more about Dance for PD® by visiting their website at danceforparkinsons.org

David Leventhal leads dance therapy

The ideas behind the Dance for PD® program have applications far beyond treating symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. How could the Dance for PD® program principles be applied in your practice or community? Please share this information below and leave a comment.

    I was suffering from Parkinson’s since 5 years & life had become disastrous for me.75 % of my body was covered by Tremors.After taking herb at multivitamincare . org under supervision of their doctor, i started getting results within three to four weeks of the remedy .Treatment went very well and tremors are gone. I’m a strong advocate for other PD disease patients seeking help , multivitamin herbal remedies it the right process, “What they’ve done for me and my life, it’s been almost a miracle.”

    i don’t usually talk much on the internet but i had to open up this time because a miracle happened in my life . After struggling with Multiple sclerosis for 3 years I finally got cured by Dr Peter and keeping it to myself will be selfish of me. I used his therapy for 3 weeks and I got cured and now I have no symptoms of MS .I urge you all having MS, ALS, and Parkinson to give him a try at peterwiseherbalcenter at Gmail. com or reach him directly on WhatsApp +23490 596 106 43 thank you Dr peter for saving me from multiple sclerosis

    My husband was diagnosed of Parkinsons disease 2 years ago, when he was 49. He had a stooped posture, tremors, right arm does not move and also a pulsating feeling in his body. He was placed on Senemet for 8 months and then Siferol was introduced and replaced the Senemet, during this time span he was also diagnosed with dementia. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took him off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started him on PD natural herbal formula we ordered from AKANNI HERBAL CENTRE, his symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the AKANNI HERBAL Parkinsons disease natural herbal formula. He is now almost 51 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed!  (Visit www. akanniherbalcentre .com)

    My husband is 54 and has had Parkinson’s for around 3-4 years. It is a debilitating disease that only gets worse and needs some serious funding to find out 1 because the cure is out there. What causes it and 2. some better treatment for it which multivitamincare .org have the guaranteed cure for PD. He takes over 8 weeks treatment from Multivitamin care formula that finally cure him,as there is no-one available to help unless you have $4,000.00 per week to pay for a Nurse, but with this herbal system you can get rid of your Parkinson effectively ,he had tremors for several years and was gradually becoming worse before we found PD supplement from Multivitamincare that was able to get rid of my husband disease and alleviate all symptoms within the short period of his usage.,they have the best medication for PD.

    This is so amazing and so much reminds of my Dad’s battle with Parkinson’s disease and stroke. I think the biggest trauma was much on the family. You know, watching your agile father became so fragile and a shadow of himself. He became dependent on grand kids to move him around and feed too. It was really heart breaking for everyone! But each time I remember the story, I become so thankful that we were opportune to learn about Dr. IZAZA through the internet and used his herbal medicine which helped my Dad. Though I read a lot of negative things about herbs for Parkinson’s disease and attendant effects of stroke treatment, but I can tell you that the right herbal medicine is still out there! We found ours through IZAZA. My Dad was 75 when he had attack with Parkinson’s disease which led to stroke. We used all recommended over-the-counter medicines for him for a period of 3 years, yet, there was no cure and to think those drugs had very bad side effects on him became our new challenge. When we switched to homeopathic treatment, he got a little better. Our breakthrough was through Dr. IZAZA Herbal Medicine. That medicine was a miracle our family will never forget. In 7 months of use, his body was totally revived! His stroke vanished while Parkinson’s disease was completely cured. Dad turned 87 April 12th and still very strong. Occasionally tending his garden with grandchildren. I will say, give IZAZA a try, you never know your breakthrough from Parkinson’s disease and stroke is very close to you an email away.

    World Herbs Clinic Parkinson’s disease herbal FORMULA helped my dear husband. I feel so bad for him because this is a hard disease and he tried and tried and gets so frustrated. Over 2 months plus now maybe or so he has been taking this product and he is doing good. I see it happening too. He is happier and buttons his own shirts now. My husband is a good guy and we have been married for 51 years. This disease takes a person away slowly and it painful. But now my dear husband is more like himself again. He is more spry and has his wits about him. I think he is more sassy though, but I count all as good, as before he just really stopped talking. Now we talk again and I missed him so much. Thanks to World Herbs Clinic for this product. We don’t have much time left in this world and you have given us more time together. Thanks again. I hope this review works ok and that I do it right. I am not good on the computer. This website will tell you more about World Herbs Clinic.(ww w worldherbsclinic co m).

    I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease nearly 4 years ago, at age 51. I had a stooped posture, tremors, muscle stiffness, sleeplessness, and slow movement. I was placed on Sinemet for 7 months and then Sifrol and rotigotine were introduced which replaced the Sinemet but I had to stop due to side effects. I tried every shots available but nothing working. I read a lot of website where people who shared their testimonies kept mentioning Herbal medicine. I searched for a blog on herbal medicine for parkinson’s. I just followed the email address of Doctor izaza that was shared on these testimonies. Since i started with the IZAZA herbal treatment, i’m happy to report feeling better overall, the tremors seized, more energy and better coping with everyday life. My walk became steady and I stopped shaking. My energy improved. I am 90%better. I am confident I will be cured for more infor contact him via Dizazaherbalcurehome@gmail.com or whatsapp +2348103355314

    My husband was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s disease at 68. His symptoms were shuffling of feet, slurred speech, low volume speech, degradation of hand writing, horrible driving skills, right arm held at 45 degree angle. Things were tough for me, I too was diagnosed of COPD but now we both finally free from these diseases with the help of total cure herbal foundation, He now walks properly and all symptoms has reversed.

    I saw this in a tiny remote village in South West France, and invited a lady in the village who has PD to watch it with me and her friend. We talked about it, went onto YouTube, and, and hour later, our last dance was a stand up but modified tango! The friends have agreed to dance together in the afternoons to their favorite recordings! The lady with PD normally has difficulty walking and, at best, uses 2 canes! Both friends were excited enthused and energised by this wonderful activity. Thanks so much for sharing it.

    I know how important dance is to the individual. It gives you confidence, grace, releif of tension, happiness, joy to be alive. There are so many benefits available that I wonder why it is not incorporated in all therapy centers. This video was so beautiful.
    God bless you with great success in spreading this therapy everywhere.

    This is lovely, but as a trained, certified, and licensed Art Therapist, I find it frustrating that nowhere is there mention of Dance Therapy, Music Therapy, or any of the other Creative Arts Therapies. There absolutely is value in all the arts; there can also be risks that are not recognized, and there may be optimal matches between participants and activities that, without the underlying theoretical understanding, may also not be recognized. Creative Arts Therapists are specifically trained to relate to and recognize these factors, having been immersed both in the art(s) and in theories of psychology and human growth and development. Despite this, Creative Arts Therapists seem to be regularly unknown, overlooked and/or dismissed.

    As a Authentic Movement teacher for years and tango dancer…this is so moving to the joy of dance and connections. My one group that I lead is filled with many elders all the way up to 85! As a psychotherapist as well, I integrate movement into my practice and this connects us to our deeper understanding of our human nature. Thank you for posting this and I hope to do more of this work in the coming years!

    Being a movement educator with a flavor for freedom, flow and creativity, it was gratifying for me to see this video on the NICABM blog.

    Like Carol, I too cried since the enjoyment and connection of the dancers was so utterly palpable. It was clear that even those with the least movement were enjoying participation thoroughly. Perhaps you CAN get your husband to watch the clip Carol. (Your love for him is palpable too.)

    What an incredible, wonderful idea. I cried with her too as i watched them share and pass the energy around the circle.
    I wish i could get my husband to do something like this—our marriage is in tatters and he won’t talk about anything. I’ve tried exchanging letters but there is a huge emotional curtain up on his side–nothing new!!
    But he loves to touch others!! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he could open himself up to energy flow before he dies. He’s 76–i’m lots younger(62).
    Thank you so much for sharing this with us all.. Carol

      November 6, 2012 at 1:15 pm Virtually all of what you claim happens to be suirnisppgly legitimate and that makes me ponder why I had not looked at this in this light before. Your article truly did switch the light on for me as far as this specific subject goes. But there is actually 1 position I am not necessarily too comfortable with so while I attempt to reconcile that with the core idea of your point, let me observe just what all the rest of your subscribers have to point out.Very well done.

    This is incredibly wonderful – so enriching and such a wonderful, simple and effective tool to contend with the effects of Parkinson’s (to say nothing of aging (~!~))on mind, body and spirit!. Thank you SO much for sharing it -My mom had Parkinson’s… and early in her professional life taught PE and dance at Queen’s College in NY (p her first Master’s degree — MA Ed) and later was a guidance counselor( p her 2nd Masters in Guidance and Counseling)still loved to dance, Parkinson’s notwithstanding … She would have really thrived and delighted in this program! She was diagnosed w PD at 60 yrs old and died at age 79 in 1995. She danced regularly w my father until his death in 1988. My 6 siblings would all agree c me — Mom would have LOVED this idea!!
    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
    PS I have no doubt that she’s in Heaven, organizing the place and time for the next dance session as I write this…(~!~)!

I had severe calf pain, muscle pain, slurred speech, frequent falls, loss of balance, difficulty getting up from sitting position. I was placed on Sinemet 3 times daily, it helped me but not very much. My neurologist advised me to try natural treatments and introduced me to Rich Herbal Garden Parkinsons Disease Herbal formula, I read alot of positive reviews from other patients who used the treatment and i immediately started on the treatment. I had great improvement and relief with this treatment, total decline of symptoms. Great improvement with speech, co-ordination, balance, muscle, mood etc, I gained back my life with this treatment and can never be thankful enough.

          ALS progresses at different rates and affects different body parts first. My mother, being 80 at the time, fell into a category of what they call “fast progression” (older female). Her arms weakened first, then her hands, her mouth, and throat, and finally her lungs. Throughout her years ordeal, she was able to walk with assistance. We have to give a try on herbal supplement which effectively get rid of herbal ALS condition dramatically after few weeks of her dosage,she lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took her off the riluzole (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started her on the ALS natural herbal formula we ordered. it advisable to always try natural herbs at first because totalcureherbsfoundation com neutralize her ALS/MND which surprise everyone at home.
