Bob of Bob and Brad - online physical therapists - also has recent Ataxia. I reached out to him telling him of this site a couple of times but he has never answered. Maybe if others reached out he would join. > **[Contact Us | Bob and Brad](https://www.bobandbrad.com/contact-us)** > > Get in touch with us today with any questions, reviews, or business opportunities. Bob Schrupp was **diagnosed with Ataxia, a neurodegenerative disorder affecting the cerebellum** , a few years ago. This condition has challenged his balance, coordination, and speech. Despite these obstacles, Bob’s resilience shines through. Using his expertise, he’s developed techniques to manage these challenges. ---

🤔 Living in the UK…I don’t know of Bob and Brad but…it’s likely that people who are familiar with them, and are diagnosed with ataxia themselves…will be interested to hear what a ‘celebrity’ has to say about a diagnosis of ataxia. ---

🙂I ‘googled’ them….despite their popularity in the U.S. …here in the UK I suspect they’re largely unheard of… It’s useful to be able to access Physiotherapy advice without having to leave home. ---
