Movement disorders are a group of neurological conditions that cause either increased movements or reduced, slow movements. While movement disorders can affect people of all ages, some types of movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor, are more common in older adults.

In this presentation with Rachel Dolhun, MD, DipABLM, you will learn about the most common movement disorders as well as modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors associated with these disorders. Discover what actions you can take if you live with a movement disorder or worry about getting one, and how you can support someone who lives with a movement disorder. Dr. Dolhun brings a unique perspective as a movement disorders neurologist as well as a lifestyle medicine physician.
