The Movement As Medicine Podcast - Episode 16: Exercise for Parkinson's & Strength Training for Runners
Description
Show Notes:Question #1: I have a couple of clients with Parkinson and also clients over the age of 80+. As you know, most doctors aren’t easy to get on board with proactive health care.
Can you please send me the reference or do you have any books or other research I could share with doctors to get them on board?
