Exercise and Parkinson's- Part 2, What types of exercise are out there?

In this episode, I speak with Anne Muskopf. Anne is the Director of the Charlotte & Richard Okonow Parkinson's Family Support Program at the Jewish Family and Children Services in Waltham, MA. We discuss the value that community programs bring to people with PD as well as discuss the value of support groups.

As we move from Women's History Month to Parkinson's Disease Awareness month, I felt it was important to take some time and talk about the impact of Parkinson's Disease on Women. Women are not diagnosed with PD as frequently as men and experience different symptoms of Parkinson's that will impact their lives differently than their male counterparts.

This week on the podcast I talk about pain.

Orthostatic Hypotension affects up to 1/3 of all people with Parkinson's and can have devastating consequences. In this episode, Anne discusses what Orthostatic Hypotension is, how it is diagnosed, and strategies for how to manage it in your daily life.

In this episode of the Parkinson's Vitality Project Podcast the tables are turned! Dr. Caroline Morris is interviewing me about my newest program helping people to improve their life through small individualized changes that will heave impacts on their overall health through coaching. We talk about what coaching is and how it can help people by focusing on the individual and allowing for open safe space to figure out how to achieve optimal wellness.
