Exercise is the Answer to Depression

This is another way that fitness & rehabilitation professionals can help.

Getting people moving helps with depression and decrease the risk of heart diseas in those that are depressed.

A solution needs to be found on doctors suggesting starting an exercise program and people starting an exercise program.

Doctors refer patients to specialist, for MRIs and massage therapy. Doctors need to do the same with an exercise program.

"Go see Rick. He will get you on an exercise program and help with your depression."
