Thursday on Lake Effect

We talk about some of the ways you can treat injuries and illnesses at home, to avoid overburdened hospitals. Then, we learn how the hands-on practice of physical therapy is adapting in the age of social distancing. Plus, despite some city services being suspended, residents are continuing their composting efforts.

Guests:
