She worked for over a decade as a neuro specialist working with brain injury, stroke rehab and neuromuscular rehabilitation in the hospital, rehab facility, outpatient and home health setting.

FAQs about Online Appointments
Well after searching throughout the world (wide web), I landed on your video that seemed to be the only one that was able to explain what I had: Diastases Recti from bad workouts (I’m a man) and severe coughing (covid 18 months ago). My doctor repaired my small umbilical and inguinal hernias 3 months ago and I thought that would fix the “alien” bulge, but it didn’t even though the mesh went up high and he stitched the fascia together there. He said I’d have to exercise my way out of that one. I have yet to find a list of exercises to do to fix it. You sound hopeful and smart. Help me Kelly.
Your new fan, Dari.
