Blakely Wellness Webinar: It’s Your Move

Today, there is an ever-increasing body of evidence demonstrating that physical activity is not only important to enhancing lifespan and overall wellness, but also preventing many chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer, anxiety and depression.  

Join us for our free wellness webinar: It’s Your Move on Wednesday, May 27th at noon and learn from our physical rehabilitation experts about why exercise is critical, both as a strategy and a tool to promote your health and well-being. Our panelists will then dive into the impact of exercise on chronic conditions and explain how exercise can help, for instance, prevent cancer, help tolerate treatments and lessen fatigue.
