Garrett Salpeter from NeuFit engages in a conversation with Dr. Gretchen Hawley, a physical therapist and MS specialist. They explore how targeted physical therapy can benefit individuals with Multiple Sclerosis and discuss which exercises should be prioritised.
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and a Certified Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Specialist, Dr. Gretchen Hawley has dedicated her professional life to the treatment and support of patients living with Multiple Sclerosis, as well as those affected by a variety of other neurological diseases and conditions. Her extensive experience and specialized knowledge have made her a trusted figure in the field of neurological rehabilitation.
In this enlightening episode, we delve into the nuanced differences between treating orthopaedic patients, who often require interventions focused on bones, muscles, and joints, and neurological patients, who need therapies that address the complexities of the nervous system. We explore the innovative concept of neuroplasticity, which involves the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, and discuss how this can be harnessed to improve patient outcomes.
Additionally, we emphasize the importance of cultivating the right mindset and establishing robust frameworks to ensure effective and sustainable long-term progress in rehabilitation. This episode is packed with insights and strategies that can be applied to enhance the quality of life for those dealing with neurological challenges and beyond!
