A Clinicians Perspective on Seating and Mobility
This episode was originally recorded in 2021 with a close friend of mine James Pazour, OTR/L. James with colleagues has ran the seating and mobility clinic at St. Luke's Hospital (part of UnityPoint Health) in Cedar Rapids, IA for over 20 years. In this episode we discuss the evolution of the evaluation and the important role learning has in this specialized practice. I am so thankful to have worked with James and have the utmost respect and appreciation for my time spent with him. We hope you enjoy!
