Movement & CKD
Support your patients in preserving muscle mass and strength, despite fatigue, dialysis, or limited mobility
Cost: $35
Why this course
Muscle loss in CKD is not just about strength. It affects daily function, independence, and long-term outcomes. Loss of lean body mass is also associated with higher rates of hospitalization, increased healthcare costs, and greater mortality risk.
While protein plays an important role, pairing it with physical activity is far more effective for preserving muscle.
But we know it’s not that simple…
- Many patients are too fatigued to follow standard exercise advice
- Others worry about doing harm
- Most have never been given clear, CKD-appropriate guidance
This roundtable helps you close that gap with practical strategies, clinical discussion, and a ready-to-use Movement & CKD Protocol you can implement right away.
