Webinar Description: This presentation will discuss the benefits of exercise for everybody and every body, with a focus on individuals with neurological conditions.
We will review functional fitness and how it can enhance both cognitive-communicative and physical recovery for individuals with neurological conditions.
The presentation will review the basic principles of functional fitness, how fitness can be adapted/modified for various limitations, and provide examples of simple exercise routines. Attendees will learn about the applicable carryover of functional fitness training to specific movement patterns for greater functional independence. The presentation will include a review of the evidence to support fitness and its positive effects on neuroplasticity. A portion of the presentation will include a guided at home exercise routine that will be modifiable and scalable for all.

There will be a short question and answer session following the presentation, for any attendees who would like to learn more.
