Welcome to part two in our series on exercise and how it has been proven to reduce the symptoms of PD. As one of my guests, Dr. Daniel Corcos, explains, “It is crystal clear, exercise slows the progression of Parkinson’s.” In this episode, Kristine Meldrum and Dr. Corcos, authors of the book “Parkinson’s: How to Reduce Symptoms Through Exercise,” continue to discuss the research and real life experiences of the positive effects realized from a personalized exercise “cocktail”.
What should PWP be focused on achieving with our exercise cocktail in order to maximize our time and the benefits? What are the recommended exercises, how do we measure progress, how many minutes do we spend on each part of the cocktail? I know I have been waiting for the answers to those questions. Now, I can find them in this book. And you, the listeners, can get some of the answers by listening on and the rest are in the book!
