Our Inspiration
Despite the lack of a cure and the rapidly progressive nature of the disease, ALS is considered a “treatable disease” and rehabilitation is integral to optimal, comprehensive care. In addition to the other health care professions making up the health care team, physical therapy provides a critical role in the overall management in individuals with ALS. Physical therapy that is tailored to the individual’s needs and goals and focused on addressing symptoms and maximizing function and participation enables people with ALS to live their lives to the fullest and with quality.
Being personally affected by ALS, we set out on a journey to help our loved ones through this difficult period. The quote above inspired and motivated us to undertake various forms of self-directed occupational, speech, and physical treatments at home. As health centric individuals, we utilized our knowledge to create a self directed process to fight the effects of the illness. Consequently, we decided to share our experiences, solutions, and thoughts in the form of this website with the hope that moving forward we can improve care and treatment for individuals affected by ALS through a set of online solutions and self directed treatments. It is out greatest hope that in at least a small way this site will help you and your family go through a difficult journey ahead.
