Physical Therapy and Parkinson's

<p>In 2006, physical therapists Lee Dibble, Terry Ellis, and Gammon Earhart received funding from the Davis Phinney Foundation for the <a href="https://davisphinneyfoundation.org/chop-pd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CHOP PD</a> study, in which they hoped to lay a foundation for subsequent exercise trials that would show how exercise and physical activity can improve quality of life (in addition to many other benefits) for people with Parkinson’s. They recently joined us to talk about their research and how physical therapy can play a significant role in helping people live well with Parkinson’s.</p>
