Whether you are suffering from the common cold or struggling with more acute conditions like diabetes, arthritis, or heart disease, here is a book that can finally offer a safe, effective, and inexpensive alternative to drugs. Pioneering research shows that simple movement offers profound benefit and can help prevent, relieve, and sometimes even cure a wide range of diseases. Grounded in solid, Western science, but embracing Eastern concepts of healing, this groundbreaking work offers exercise "prescriptions" for a full range of health problems, including: back pain, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, cancer, sexual dysfunction, depression, and carpal tunnel syndrome. The book's accessible and informative text is complemented by more than 100 easy-to-follow illustrations of "healing movements" drawn from yoga, qi gong, tai chi, and various aerobic and strengthening techniques. Whatever your age, fitness level, or health concern, Healing Moves can help improve not only your physical condition but your overall sense of well-being with chapters including: Exercise for Health and Fitness, Metabolic Disorders, Mental Health Conditions, Orthopedic Disorders, Immunological Conditions, Cardiovascular Disorders, Men's Health, Women's Health, and Respiratory Disorders.

From the Inside Flap:
ndbreaking book, two experts, a renowned cardiologist and an award-winning health columnist, show readers specific new strategies for taking advantage of a low-risk, low-cost, extremely effective, and readily available form of healing -- physical activity. The National Institute on Aging reports that "if exercise could be packed in a pill, it would be the single most widely prescribed, and beneficial, medicine in the nation." We know that physical activity is effective prevention, but pioneering research shows that it can also treat -- and even reverse -- America's top killers, often more effectively than drugs or surgery.

Drawing from Eastern as well as Western traditions, the authors explain how specific exercises can be powerful therapy for such life-threatening ailments as heart disease, cancer, stroke, pulmonary disease, and osteoporosis, as well as conditions that affect quality of life, including arthritis, back pain, asthma, depression, diabetes, stress, PMS, sexual dys
