A research journey from balancing Parkinson’s to therapeutic tremors
Dr Elizma Atterbury will talk about her research journey from balancing training for individuals with Parkinson’s disease during her MSc to her doctorate studies exploring a novel body-based stress management modality that utilised therapeutic tremors (called TRE – Trauma and tension releasing exercises). Through this research journey, Elizma will highlight how her involvement in research has had its own unfolding process, and why stress management matters. In discussing the therapeutic possibility of neurogenic tremors, there are many more answers and applications that can be explored.
Dr Atterbury is a Biokineticist since 2013, with a special interest in motor learning, motor control, neurological condition, corporate wellness and anything stress related. She is currently a lecturer at the University of Cape Town. She completed her doctorate in 2019 at Stellenbosch University, followed by a postdoc at University of Cape Town.
