The topic for this meeting is focused ultrasound.

Please bring any questions or concerns about essential tremor that you have.

Topic: Occupational and Physical Therapy for ET Patients

A former student of mine from my middle school teaching days, Dr. Scott Grumeritz, will be joining us to discuss physical therapy and its potential impact on essential tremor. A colleague of his will also be joining us to share some occupational therapy insights. I’m very excited to have them share their collective wisdom in a free-wheeling interview, with plenty of time for questions during and after the conversation.

No need to RSVP – come one, come all! We are in the eastern time zone. The zoom link is https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81362919493
