Customer Reviews of ROM Dance: A Range of Motion Exercise and Relaxation Program (Lupus/Sun Sensitive Version)
Therapeutic Exercise and T'ai Chi Mind/Body Principles I am co-author of the ROM Dance Program. Here is some information about the program and this particular video.
The program was created in 1981 at St. Mary's Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin by an occupational therapist, Diane Harlowe MS, OTR, FAOTA, and a T'ai Chi expert, Tricia Yu, MA. It is an innovative mind/body exercise and rest program that combines Western medical model therapeutic exercise with Eastern T'ai Chi principles. It features slow, gentle, flowing movements that are accompanied by quiet music and a verse with relaxing images. The entire sequence takes about seven minutes to complete.
This program has been used internationally by people with arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, Parkinson's, MS, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other painful or limiting health conditions. Initial development, research, and cration of new versions and media for home use were supported in part by grants from the Arthritis Foundation. Published long-term efficacy studies have demonstrated the therapeutic effects of the ROM Dance.
The program includes 3 videos and a manual. This particular video is appropriate for both in-home instructional use as well as use by therapists. The movements are done both seated and standing and it includes a special hand exercise routine. The verse includes images of water, moonlight, and friendship. The video includes the following sections: 1)Introduction, 2)Demonstration of the ROM Dance: Moonlight Version, 3)Relaxation demonstration, 4)Discussion of the principles of the ROM Dance, and 5)Precautions and teaching of the movements.
The other two videos are: ROM Dance in Sunlight (original version), and ROM Dance: Seated Version (an adaptation for wheelchair use). The manual is most applicable for health care professionals using the ROM Dance in their practice. All of these materials are available through Amazon.com.
Here are a couple of reviews of the ROM Dance Program:
