Susha Thomas

Susha Thomas PT, DPT, C/NDT is a Physical Therapist who has specializations in Parkinson’s and Stroke rehabilitation. She received her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Wayne State University, Michigan and is an active volunteer with the Houston Area Parkinson’s Society. She serves as the Director of Therapy Operations and Program Chair for Parkinson’s at an Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospital. She mentors and helps bring awareness to the disease, dispelling stigma while advocating for the PD community. She resides with her husband and children in Houston, Texas. Susha is passionate about treating patients with Parkinson’s. In her experience treating Parkinson’s patients, several of them had given up hope and were in despair because they felt like there was not anything they could do to help manage their symptoms. But when they started using the tips, tricks, and strategies that she provided them, they were amazed at how much they could accomplish! This inspired her to jot down her suggestions and compose it into a book because she realized there are still more out there that have lost all hope. With this book (Parkinson's Disease Reclaim Your Life- Tips To Help Manage Your Symptoms) - she hopes to make a positive impact in the life of at least one person who has been affected by Parkinson’s. This book has a personal touch and includes illustrations drawn by her children Jaden and Elena.
