York Nordic has shared a number of blog posts about the benefits of exercise for those suffering from Parkinson's disease. Recognizing the related difficulties, we have also highlighted the value of using walking poles for balance and stability when walking out of need or for exercise.
With that in mind, we wanted to share this article recently published in Brain&Life that highlights the value of adding physical therapy to an exercise routine. While focused on a Parkinson's patient, it shares the importance of exercise for sufferers of a number of afflictions as well as the benefits of adding PT to a routine.
While it is nice to see walking poles mentioned as being helpful, it is always better to see the importance of exercise and physical therapy being promoted to help better the lives of those enduring afflictions. Let's Get Out There!
