    Continuing our celebration of Occupational Therapy Month, this week we chat with FOX Rehabilitation's Cristina Klymasz, MS, OTR/L, CBIS, RYT, CLT-LANA, MSCS, who talks about incorporating yoga into her occupational therapy sessions. Cristina details how a team morale event at a yoga studio made her realize how much it could benefit her patients. Being the go-getter she is, Cristina got her yoga license—not with dreams of opening her studio—but with the main intent of helping her patients. Cristina admits some patients are skeptical when the concept of yoga is brought up. Still, the results are turning doubters into believers, especially with its numerous benefits, including helping patients with their balance. Cristina also discusses how she will be spending Occupational Therapy Month and what kind of personality generally gravitates to being an OT.

  • The Benefits of Telehealth

    The Benefits of Telehealth
    2025/04/09
    We speak with many clinicians and healthcare professionals on FOX Rehabilitation’s Live Better Longer podcast, but we always love the opportunity to talk with a FOX patient. What’s it like to work with a FOX clinician? How was their experience with FOX? Today, we are lucky enough to chat with Catherine Duff, who has been working with FOX Virtual Care Specialist, Jenny Rothman, PT, DPT, via Telehealth. Though skeptical of doing physical therapy virtually, once it got underway, Catherine became a fan. She was also introduced to remote therapeutic monitoring through the platform, One Step, which digitally tracks a patient’s functional progress. Catherine enjoyed her treatment sessions so much, she reached out to Jenny and said that she would love to spread the word and encourage others to use Telehealth. After we got in contact with Catherine, per her promise, she was game for interviewing on our podcast, which you can listen to right now!
