Parkinson's exercise video features UAB input

 

Exercise is good for most people, even those with Parkinson's Disease. Now, UAB associate professor of physical therapy Matt Ford, Ph.D., is helping patients through a new exercise DVD, "Exercise and Parkinson's: Questions and Answers from the Experts," produced by the Davis Phinney Foundation.

 

Ford, one of the experts featured, offers tips and tools designed to reinforce exercise as a core strategy for living well with Parkinson's because it helps build a healthier heart, lungs, muscles and may have a neuro-protective effect. The DVD is available at www.davisphinneyfoundation.org.
