WHEN IT COMES TO EXERCISE EVEN WITH MULTI-MORBIDITY...
MOVEMENT WINS ALMOST ALWAYS

62% of persons over 65 and 81% of people over 80 present with multi-morbidity

A new consensus statement released in BJSM this week take an extensive look at the use of physical activity to fight multi-morbidity and as a key intervention for chronic disease management.

This consensus statements reviewed the literature, talked with stakeholders and patients and performed a Delphi study coming up with 5 important statements:

•The benefits of physical activity FAR OUTWEIGH the risk!
•Serious adverse events are RARE but that's not how patients feel
•It's not as easy as just telling people to move more
•Everyone has their own starting point
•Give them the guideposts of when to stop and seek medical advice

We preach this a lot in MMOA - we all need to be on the movement team and encourage our clients.

They mentioned 8 issues that will need to extra care and attention from providers and REHABILITATION PROVIDERS can help with ALL OF THEM:
0.Musculoskeletal pain
0.Fatigue
0.Dysglycemia
0.Shortness of breath
0.Cardiac chest pain
