Show Notes
In this episode Anne interviews Emily Duval Ledger, the Owner and Lead Trainer for Recreation Fitness in Long Beach, CA. Emily specializes in working with clients who have chronic or neurologic conditions – like Parkinson’s Disease, Dementia, Lupus, and Multiple Sclerosis – to help them manage their symptoms, and improve the quality of their lives. In addition to one-on-one training, she and her team offer PD Fit for Parkinson’s classes, which combine PWR!Moves, boxing, and functional training in a fun group setting.
We talk about why people with PD can benefit from working with a personal trainer to continue exercising and staying well in their daily lives.

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.

This week on the podcast I talk about pain.
