Dr. Reebye explains the role of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians, also known as physiatrists, in treating medical conditions such as NMOSD.

As a physiatrist, Dr. Reebye is a proponent of the benefits of early intervention with exercise and stretching even during an NMO relapse. He explains the importance of motivating patients to maximise their abilities, even if there is a declining function.

Dr. Reebye also discusses the physiology of pain and how we can better equip ourselves to manage NMOSD by learning about our own unique experience with pain and in learning to express it accurately to our clinical team.
