Exercise in Medicine Testimonial - Jim Griffin

Referred for Parkinson's

After being diagnosed with onset Parkinson’s, my neurologist, as well as my psychiatrist, recommended investigating the Exercise Is Medicine (EIM) program. I was given an evaluation by an exercise physiologist who then planned an exercise program specifically for my age, current fitness, and the stage of the disease. After a year of dedication to the program, my neurologist as well as my exercise physiologist were well pleased with the results. At this time, my medication has been reduced and a revised exercise program developed to further my defense against the disease. I am not free of the disease and some symptoms, but overall, I am confident that my progress is good and seems to serve very well for the intermediate future.
