Exercise is Medicine in Scleroderma: Vitality of Mind and body, Lesley Ann Saketkoo, MD, MPH

Join us to discover the many positive impacts that exercise can have on on scleroderma symptoms. Virtually every aspect of systemic sclerosis can be beneficially impacted by exercise: inflammation, circulation, body warmth, GI, skin, musculoskeletal and lung health. The therapeutic underpinnings of exercise target the specific mechanisms behind the pervasive SSc-disease biological, physical and psychological manifestations. This session is intended to empower people living with scleroderma with the knowledge of exercise and physical activity on the many manifestations of systemic sclerosis. At the end of this session, you should feel confident in constructing an exercise regimen generally and for your particular needs related to scleroderma. Presented by Lesley Ann Saketkoo, M.D., M.P.H. as part of the 2021 National Scleroderma Conference.
