#41 - How do we get older adults to exercise? With Dr Mariana Wingood
About this episode
In this episode with Dr Mariana Wingood, she shares with us the recommended guidelines for exercise in the aging population as well as patients and therapists beliefs around this. We also discuss how clinically she finds most older adults are under-dosed when it comes to exercise and she forces us to think about the message that we are sending these patients which is the real magic.
Dr Mariana Wingood is a clinician and a program director and she has recently completed a PhD on exploring barriers and solutions related to physical activity prescription among physical therapists treating older adults.
