Episode 340: This Is Not Your Father's MS Rehabilitation with Dr. Deborah Backus and Dr. Brad Willingham

When people living with MS think about rehabilitation, they often think of physical therapy. And, while physical therapy is an important part of MS rehabilitation, our conversation today goes far beyond physical therapy.

She's a researcher, physical therapist, and educator with more than 30 years of experience in the neurorehabilitation field. Dr. Willingham is the Director of MS Research at the Shepherd Center.
