Exercise as Medicine with Keila Strick, Jenny Turner, and Micha Nenbee

Episode Notes

Physical therapy and exercise coaching are commonly prescribed medical interventions and have long-lasting benefits for injury prevention and recovery and long-term health. However, accessing these interventions can be cost-prohibitive. The Fried Center for the Advancement of Potential, or FCAP, at the University of Virginia, is addressing this need by providing low-cost physical therapy and one-on-one exercise coaching for UVA faculty, staff, and students as well as intellectually and developmentally disabled residents of Innisfree Village in Crozet, Virginia. FCAP interns act as key providers of care, furthering FCAP's mission alongside their own professional development. Clinical Co-Director Keila Strick and interns Jenny Turner and Micha Nenbee discuss their Jefferson Trust grant-funded work in this episode of Pilot Projects.
