This week: Parkinson's disease, grief and integrative medicine

Physical therapy can help alleviate some of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. In this week's "HealthLink on Air," doctor of physical therapy Julie Lombardi explains how Parkinson's is diagnosed, the role of physical therapy in treatment, and what to expect at a physical therapy appointment.

Also this week, Walt Stein from Hope for Bereaved, discusses grief during the holidays. And, Dr. Susan Levinsohn talks about wellness and integrative medicine. Tune in this Sunday, December 8 at 6 a.m and 9 p.m. for "HealthLink on Air."
