Heart and brain got the investment; the musculoskeletal system did not

You can learn more from watching a patient walk down the hallway than from the rest of the exam. Most exams happen sitting or lying down. Narinder Singh Parhar is an internal medicine physician and founder of Jeeva Health Systems. This episode is based on his article "Musculoskeletal health may be the foundation of prevention," published on KevinMD. After nearly 40 years in practice, he argues that medicine poured decades of investment into heart and brain prevention while leaving the musculoskeletal system behind. You will hear what a walk down the hallway reveals about cardiopulmonary reserve, fall risk, and confidence, and the two muscle groups he says everyone overlooks. You will also hear his specific activity prescription, including a backward walk that takes under two minutes. Press play for what he wants asked at every visit, and why he thinks patients are watching your health as closely as you watch theirs.
