Julie,
I have FSHD and have enjoyed your videos through the Society.. I have been doing PT 2x/ wk for a couple years. A great team but no background in neuro. I hav just moved to Fort.Myers, FL for 6 months of the year and I’d love to find a neuro based therapist near the zip of 33913 in Fort Myers. Can you direct me to such a person in this area?

We live in Branford,Ct. and am attached to the Neurological Center @ Yale New Haen Hosp.- Actually just starting with thme. em and could use any PT info Marcy can use @ home. Thank-you. Phillip G.
