On this episode of the Hear, Here Parkinson's Podcast, we welcome Naomi Casiro, Registered Physiotherapist, Certified PWR! Therapist, and founder of NeuroFit BC. Naomi joins us to share her expertise in neurological rehabilitation and her evolving approach to improving care for people living with Parkinson’s. A key focus of the conversation is falls—one of the most complex and impactful challenges in Parkinson’s care. Naomi offers a preview of her upcoming Special Workshop at the World Parkinson Congress, “Failing to Fall: What We Are Missing in Falls Treatment and How It Can Change Your Practice for the Better.” This session will highlight the practical application of falls-related data and introduce a more comprehensive, two-pronged approach to treatment. Attendees will have the opportunity to observe and practice early falls training strategies, and learn how to incorporate functional movement and falls training into their own clinical programs. Listen in for a thoughtful and forward-looking discussion that challenges traditional approaches and empowers practitioners to rethink how they support people with Parkinson’s.
