0019 - What They Aren’t Telling You About Your Child’s Vestibular System

This episode discusses the vestibular system—its structure, function, and its critical role in motor development, cognitive development, and addressing developmental delays. Dr. Josh Madsen and Dr. Ryan highlight how the vestibular system influences balance, coordination, and spatial awareness, and its strong connections to the frontal lobe, cerebellum, and speech development.Key Takeaways:1. Signs of Dysfunction: Symptoms like dizziness, poor balance, sensory seeking/avoidance behaviors, and motor challenges in children, especially those with autism or developmental delays.2. Therapy Strategies: How vestibular therapy can improve these functions through neuroplasticity, helping children and adults recalibrate their brain’s responses to vestibular input.3. Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): The impact of TBIs on the vestibular system, including post-concussion effects like vertigo, and how therapy aids in recovery.4. Early Intervention: Emphasizing the importance of addressing vestibular dysfunctions early in children to support better developmental outcomes.Helpful Resources:• Book an Appointment: https://www.iowainfinity.com/• Buy A Laser: https://www.iowainfinitylasers.com/• First Year Neurological Development Course: https://www.limitlessfoundation.co/courses/neurological-development• Doctors Course: https://www.limitlessfoundation.co/courses/doctors-course• Parents Course: https://www.limitlessfoundation.co/courses/parents-course• Buy My Book 📚: https://www.limitlessfoundation.co/courses/book• Read Our Blogs: https://www.drjoshmadsen.com/• Get More Information: https://forms.monday.com/forms/a1f2e8• Research Articles: https://www.limitlessfoundation.co/courses/research-articles?preview=on#earlyintervention  #ChildDevelopment #AutismAwareness #BrainDevelopment #Neuroscience #ParentingTips #DevelopmentalDelays #PediatricCareDisclaimer:The information in this video is for educational and informational purposes only.
