On Saturday, Jaymee Cruz, DPT, DPT, OCS and Colin Phillips, DP, DPT, OCS, shows us how strengthening our core can help overall fitness. They also demonstrated several seated and standing exercises, which are shown. in the video and with the links. 

They addressed PN from a Physical Therapist’s perspective, emphasizing the importance of exercise in preventing further nerve damage and improving balance, which is critical to preventing falls.
