Default exercise on prescription for pwp?

I would like to hope that at some point ALL PwP will be told on dx that exercise should be a vital part of their regime to maintain health, it is no good coming to that understanding after years of bradykinesia and rigidity, by that time the body is already damaged, secondary to PD symptoms. And that they will be evaluated and advised on what type of exercise is best for them. I am not saying it is ever too late to exercise, just that some damage cannot be turned around, and our medical carers should be looking after us as whole people not
just malfunctioning brains. This is what MDS should be helping us to do, keep moving, and not just by application of pharmaceutical and surgical means.
