Exercise is Medicine

In general, our society has a bias toward curative rather than palliative medicine, toward making the disease go away rather than finding ways to cope with disease

​

The unfortunate consequence of this perspective is that individuals with chronic disease or disability devalue functionality and well-being, thereby losing self-determination

​

Exercise is the solution, perhaps the greatest potential benefit of exercise is its ability to preserve functional capacity, freedom, and independence.  It's amazing we don't call it medicine
