The human body is designed to MOVE!

Engaging in movement strengthens muscles, joints, and bones, promoting overall physical fitness. It also enhances blood circulation to vital organs, improving their functionality. Additionally, movement increases the heart's capacity to supply oxygen to the body and brain, thereby boosting brain function and mental well-being. Furthermore, it aids in the healing process and contributes to a higher metabolic rate, which can facilitate weight loss.

Being physically active doesn't necessarily require formal exercise routines. It involves incorporating brief periods of movement into your daily life, such as:
- Opting for stairs instead of elevators.
- Parking further from the store entrance to accumulate more steps.
- Performing two minutes of walking on the spot while preparing coffee
- Taking regular breaks from sitting by standing or walking for five minutes
- Incorporating stretching exercises every two hours
- Going for afternoon walks with a friend or spouse

Biokineticists are healthcare professionals who can provide guidance, support, and motivation to help you become more active. They can assist in designing an activity plan tailored to your lifestyle.

April is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness month which provides an opportunity to broaden our follower’s knowledge on this neurodegenerative disease.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. Symptoms start gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are common, but the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement.

Exercise is a beneficial treatment modality for Parkinson’s' patients. Exercise help increase mobility and flexibility, thus improving quality of life for patients as well as decreasing their risk of falling and further injury.

Biokineticists are qualified healthcare professionals who prescribe scientifically based exercise treatment for patients to help improve quality of life, slow down the degenerative process, and focus on increasing strength, flexibility and coordination to manage daily tasks.
