Jo Rosen's Mission: Elevating Life Quality for Parkinson's Patients
I would suggest that this is a structural change, but that it comes about through the process of that device that you're talking about or that appliance, but that the person who you would be wanting to go to is someone who understands what that structural change, what is required, what is needed and when does your jaw actually rehabilitate itself?
Ever wondered how a personal struggle can spark a movement that helps thousands? Jo Rosen's story is a testament to that. When her mother and husband were diagnosed with Parkinson's, Jo was plunged into a whirlwind of emotions—concern, despair, and an unyielding curiosity about how to make their lives better.
Out of this chaos, the Parkinson's Resource Organization (PRO) was born in 1990, thanks to a promise Jo made to herself: to learn everything she could about improving life for those with Parkinson's and share it with the world. Fast forward to today, and PRO has become a beacon of hope for countless individuals and their families. In this episode, Jo delves into her personal journey and the innovative approaches PRO champions.
From alternative treatments to caregiver support, Jo covers it all. She even touches on the surprising benefits of aligning the jaw to alleviate Parkinson's symptoms—a technique you probably haven't heard much about. Jo emphasizes the importance of building robust support systems for both patients and caregivers. After all, caring for someone with Parkinson's is a marathon, not a sprint, and self-care is crucial for those providing support.
