Healing Moves promotes exercise with radio PSA

HealingMovesFoundation-60seconds

Click and listen to the Healing Moves Foundation’s radio public service announcement!  The PSA was presented to all of the radio stations throughout the State of Nevada and played June through September this summer.  The Nevada Broadcasters Association estimated 600-800 play times per month!  It was a great way to get our message out to encourage people to move a little more for better health.  We would like to thank the Nevada Organ and Tissue Donor Task Force for joining us in our mission and sponsoring this campaign.  

Promoting up-to-date exercise guidelines

The Healing Moves Foundation has become a founding member of the Federal Physical Activity Guidelines Coalition to ensure that the Department of Health and Human Services regularly updates and promotes the Guidelines at least every five years, as is done with federal dietary guidelines.  Our organization relies on the latest scientific research concerning the preventive and therapeutic effects of exercise.  Over the years, recommendations for physical activity have changed drastically.  It wasn’t too long ago that a patient’s treatment plan after most surgeries was days of bed rest.  Now, it is common knowledge that most patients who start moving sooner, speed their recovery time. 

We support and encourage members of Congress to approve  H.R. 3851 in the U.S. House and S.1818 in the Senate, stressing the importance of having regularly updated Physical Activity Guidelines that reflect the latest scientific and translational breakthroughs about the role of physical activity in promoting health and preventing disease.
