Wu Tao Dance has been shown to reduce the symptoms of dementia!
A recent study undertaken by Debbie Duignan, A Senior Behaviour Consultant (Alzheimers WA) has shown that Wu Tao Dance can reduce the symptoms of agitation in people with moderate to severe dementia.
As baby boomers age and the senior population swells, more people than ever before are being faced with the impact of aging on the brain.
Finding non pharmaceutical methods of treating the symptoms of dementia is fundamental to successful management of dementia care and the health and well-being of the person with the disease.
Wu Tao is a treatment option that can be easily incorporated into the lives of older people, with benefits that can enhance the lives of all involved.
Wu Tao classes and consultations are now being offered at aged care facilities throughout WA.
