Description:

"This practical resource uses dance, art, poetry, sensory training, and intergenerational games to encourage movement among older adults of varying abilities. Filled with ideas for stimulating creativity, motivating body movement, and fostering a sense of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, More than Movement for Fit to Frail Older Adults is an indispensable tool that makes group activities fun and rewarding. Valuable guidelines are provided for helping clients sharpen perceptual skills, reawaken senses, and increase social interaction; rediscover creativity and share oral histories; master relaxation and stress management techniques; improve balance, flexibility, and strength; and enhance joint articulation and range of motion.". "Professionals in adult day care centers, senior centers, nursing homes, and other group settings will benefit from the easy-to-lead activities and the wealth of ideas for working with older adults."--BOOK JACKET.
