Phone Seminar for Members: Dec. 9 at 3 pm ET

Gaga

Interested in learning more about imagery and mental practice? Looking for ways to utilize more effective imagery in your teaching or dancing?

In this phone seminar titled Imagery use in daily life and rehabilitation: what have we got so far?, Israeli researcher and physical therapist Amit Abraham will discuss the concept of imagery, including the fields of motor imagery practice and dynamic imagery. Dr. Abraham will address both the theoretical-academic and practical-clinical points of view, with a focus on potential uses of imagery for people with PD.

Dial-in information will be sent to all registrants 48 hours before the call. The seminar is free for members; standard long distance charges may apply.

We hope you can join us! But just in case you can't, we post recordings of all phone seminars online at the Dance for PD Members' Portal. Click here for past seminars.
