Safe Movement in the Hospital
Wellness Wednesday
Staying active in the hospital is key to a faster recovery. Regular movement has many benefits, including reducing muscle loss, helping with sleep, improving focus and managing constipation. For people with PD in the hospital, regular movement is important for managing symptoms, preventing falls and minimizing complications.
