Happy Neuro Nerd Friday Status.

Episode 36: Exercise is Medicine! Are you or do you know somebody that was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, or another neurodegenerative disease? This post is for you! Did you know intense exercise like boxing or cycling is neuroprotective and can improve the lives of individuals with these type of diseases in SO many ways? The research continues to prove it and the personal accounts are numerous. It's all about driving neuroplasticity; the continual reorganization and rewiring of the brain itself via challenging the neuromuscular & movement system, practicing the movement, and visualizing the movement! Read all about it in the articles provided at the bottom. Meanwhile check out our very own @CraigLindell challenging his own brain and driving neuroplasticity by taking on boxing as a new training method. The focus today was improving his right kick compared to his left kick (dominate side). Stay tuned for more Neuro posts people!! http://www.tampabay.com/news/health/whether-its-cycling-or-boxing-vigorous-exercise-can-ease-parkinsons/2264185 http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1580438-1,00.html http://nnr.sagepub.com/content/23/6/600.abstract #boxing #parkinsons #neuro #NeuroPT #neurorehab @reactivept ______________________________________________ The Prehab Guys: Optimizing human performance and functional capacity, promoting longevity, and keeping your movement system in tune one post at a time.
