Q&A
Q: Do you have any exercise strategies you would recommend for a weight management program for patients who have a disorder of executive function, depression and social anxiety?
Executive Function can be compromised in numerous conditions such as ADHD (hyperactive and inattentive), learning disabilities. stroke, Alzheimer’s, dementia, depression, anxiety, fatigue and brain injuries.
For client’s with these conditions, it is often not about WHAT type of exercise is prescribed but more so HOW it’s prescribed.
