Qigong is the centuries-old practice of moving vital energy (Qi)
through the channels of the body, known as meridians, to promote
vitality and health. Stephen Rath details current research and
Traditional Chinese Medicine theory to show how Qigong practice can
support cognitive functioning, as well as emotional and physical
wellbeing, in people with dementia. Qigong for Wellbeing in
Dementia and Aging presents a set of accessible Qigong exercises
and breathing techniques adapted specifically for older people who
may be frail or have limited mobility, which address specific
symptoms associated with dementia. These include exercises for the
hands and feet, exercises for releasing emotions through the Five
Animal Sounds, seated exercises, and facial exercises. The
exercises, contributed by the Natural Healing Research Foundation
from their Senior Exercise Class in Hawaii, are presented with
clear explanatory illustrations. The final part of the book
describes the Chinese understanding of nutrition as an essential
underpinning of good health into old age, and provides
health-giving food and drink recipes for people with dementia based
on these principles. There is also a helpful chapter on practicing
Qigong to protect against caregiver burnout. This will be an
invaluable book for care professionals, nurses, activity
coordinators, and physical therapists, as well as people with
dementia and their families.
