Harrijane Moore introduced our guest speaker, Julie Galbraith. Julie is a 1995 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a masters degree in Physical Therapy. She works for SMART at the Bradford Hospital
Julie told us that SMART stands for Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Treatment. The staff works with patients who may have problems in these areas.
They can also help people who have balance problems because of Vertigo. We also learned that many times people go from SMART across the hall to Upbeat to continue an exercise program.
Finally we learned that you don’t have to have a specialist send you to SMART. Your doctor can have you go there for help.
