This was posted on the Brain Support Network and may be of interest.

Though this talk by a physical therapist was delivered at a CurePSP family conference in Canada (mostly PSP and CBD families in the audience), all of the disorders in our BSN group will find value in this talk.

The speaker is Joellyn Fox, DPT, a movement disorder specialist physical therapist at the University of Pennsylvania. Her focus is offering practical tips to preventing falls and keeping moving to “improve everyday life.”

You can find the December 2015 talk by Joellyn Fox, DPT, on YouTube here: (48 minutes)
