On today’s show we interview Carol-Ann Nelson, founder of Destination Rehab (501c3) in 2016 to address the isolation and lack of outdoor recreation for adults with neurologic conditions. Carol-Ann talks about the gap that she saw for patients after they finished rehab and found themselves rarely leaving their houses.  She was passionate about helping people experience the things they used to love in their lives that they’ve lost. She discusses the reasons she decided to create a nonprofit business, the programs, referrals, and funding.  She also explains how, even though they work outdoors, they haven’t had any trouble getting Medicare to cover therapy.  She is clear and transparent about both the positives and challenges of doing outdoor therapy. You can learn more about Carol-Ann and Destination Rehab at destinationrehab.org

55: How Outdoor Therapy Helps Clients Create a New Vision for Life with Carol-Ann Nelson

Sally McAllister

Their website says that Destination Rehab takes an "innovative, out-of-the-box approach to physical therapy." This week, my guests are Sally McAllister and the founder of Destination Rehab, Dr. Carol-Ann Nelson. Sally is 70 years old and living with primary progressive MS. We're talking about how Sally's work with Dr. Nelson produced life-changing results.  We're also talking about the first study that specifically measures the safety of the Pfizer-BioNtech COVID vaccine for people living with MS. We'll share the results of another study that suggests that some MS disease-modifying therapies affect Black people differently. We'll tell you about this year's recipient of the Dystel Prize for MS research. And we'll give you the details about the MS Society of Canada's upcoming MS CONNECT virtual conference.  We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
