Depressed? Try Exercising!

Depression can be a major issue for injured workers. They separated from their coworkers and work routine, typically at home all day while loved ones are at work or school. Often their thoughts turn toward all they have lost, not only the foregoing, but also their physical abilities.

Whatever the injury at some point most injured workers can benefit from some sort of exercise. Doing so will not only give them something to do and, eventually, look forward to, but may also make them actually FEEL better.

Here is a good, short video that explains the benefit of exercise on depression.

At Coppin State University thank you to them as well as our other primary sponsor, IARP - Chesapeake.

If you would like to exhibit at this year's conference, please contact Andy Nussdorf at Genex Services (andy.nussdorf@genexservices.com), he will be glad to send you details!

Please feel free to contact me by any means for special requests, suggestions, or concerns. Did you attend last year - check out our candid shots of attendees:

We look forward to seeing you there!

FYI:

I handle Delmarva Peninsula and the area immediately around the Chesapeake Bay, I work well with both defense and plaintiff attorneys and can handle any file in Baltimore or DC if requested – I never bill more than 2 hours travel.

Pat Highcove and Dane Crook are both based in Baltimore and also have over 20 years of experience and excellent reputations with both defense and plaintiff attorneys. Primarily they handle Baltimore and DC, but can do parts of Western MD, Southern PA, Northern VA, and Western NJ if needed.

We are talking to a Nurse Case Manager who we look forward to having on board as part of our team by next week!
