How do you counsel your patients on exercise? Do you follow guidelines, or do you prefer other methods borne of your own experience? Furthermore, do you practice what you preach? These are just some of the important questions examined on this panel edition of Primary Care Today, moderated by Dr. Brian McDonough. Participating are ReachMD hosts Drs. Mary Leuchars and John Russell, alongside special guest Dr. Steven Barrer, neurosurgeon and author of the recent book Exercise Will Hurt You. The panel explores an array of topics central to exercise, such as the physician's level of responsibility for patient education and compliance, and barriers to guiding healthier lifestyle practices.
