    Progressive Neurologic Diseases and Dizziness: What You Need to Know

    In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Dani Tolman, PT sit down with Dr. David Sandlin, a vestibular and oculomotor neurologist at Emory Brain Health Center, to discuss how eye movements can provide critical clues to progressive neurologic diseases.From Parkinson's disease and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) to Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), cerebellar disorders, and Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Dr. Sandlin explains how a detailed bedside eye movement examination can detect neurologic disease long before imaging does. He shares the clinical reasoning behind evaluating nystagmus, saccades, smooth pursuit, VOR testing, and other vestibular examination findings that help differentiate central from peripheral causes of dizziness.This episode also discusses the importance of making timely referrals and understanding where vestibular rehabilitation fits into the care of progressive neurologic disorders.Hosted by:🎤 Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS🎤 Dr. Danielle Tolman, PTFor episode recommendations or requests, email us at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Partnered with:→ Our online program and community, The Dizzy Reset™, ⁠⁠⁠⁠use code TALKDIZZYTOME for 40% off your first payment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Avulux glasses, use code DIZZYRESET for $25 off⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Just Ingredients, use code TALKDIZZYTOME for 5% off⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Us:→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a free call with us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get free resources straight to your inbox⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our online program and community, The Dizzy Reset™⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch podcast episodes (and more) on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Disclaimer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enjoying the podcast?

    The Otolith Organs: Why You Feel Pulled, Tilted, Rocking, or Swaying

    In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT are joined by Dr. Katherine Deines, PT, NCS and Dr. Jaimy Wahab, PT, NCS, also known as the Neuro Dizzy Duo, for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked parts of the vestibular system: the otolith organs.While many people associate vertigo and dizziness with the semicircular canals and spinning sensations, this episode explores how the utricle and saccule help us sense gravity, acceleration, head position, vertical orientation, and linear movement. The conversation highlights why otolith dysfunction may contribute to symptoms such as rocking, swaying, bobbing, feeling pulled or pushed, floating, walking on marshmallows, disorientation, and feeling “off.”The guests also explain how otolith dysfunction may show up in conditions such as BPPV, vestibular migraine, PPPD/3PD, Mal de Débarquement Syndrome, concussion, dysautonomia, POTS, Parkinson’s disease, and other complex vestibular presentations.This episode is especially helpful for vestibular clinicians, physical therapists, audiologists, patients with chronic dizziness, and anyone trying to better understand why dizziness is not always “spinning.”Episode Resources:Where to find The Dizzy Duo on Instagram: @neuro_dizzy_duoEmail address:  [email protected], publications, or resources:Their Positive Spin on Dizziness advanced vestibular courses cover many lesser discussed topics:otolith dysfunction, the difference between vestibular dysfunction and hypersensitivity, visual motion hypersensitivity, Vestibular Migraine, Mal de Debarquement Syndrome, Meniere’s diseaseRecommended products or links: https://www.reactiveeducation.com/storeHosted by:🎤 Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS🎤 Dr. Danielle Tolman, PTFor episode recommendations or requests, email us at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Partnered with:→ Our online program and community, The Dizzy Reset™, ⁠⁠use code TALKDIZZYTOME for 40% off your first payment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Avulux glasses, use code DIZZYRESET for $25 off⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Just Ingredients, use code TALKDIZZYTOME for 5% off⁠⁠Connect with Us:→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a free call with us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get free resources straight to your inbox⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our online program and community, The Dizzy Reset™⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch podcast episodes (and more) on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Disclaimer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enjoying the podcast?

    PPPD Explained: When the Dizziness Doesn’t Go Away

    In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT sit down with neurologist Dr. Kristen Steenerson to unpack Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness, also known as 3PD or PPPD.If you feel dizzy, floaty, rocking, disoriented, or visually overwhelmed most days — especially in places like grocery stores, airports, busy restaurants, or while scrolling screens — this episode explains what may be happening in the brain and nervous system.Dr. Steenerson breaks down the diagnostic criteria for 3PD, why symptoms can continue even after the original vestibular problem improves, how 3PD overlaps with vestibular migraine, and why treatment often requires a combination of education, vestibular therapy, medication, cognitive strategies, lifestyle support, and gradual exposure.This conversation also addresses why 3PD is sometimes misunderstood, how hypervigilance plays a role, and why there is real hope for recovery and improved quality of life.

    How to Treat Vestibular Migraine, PPPD, and MdDS (Especially When You Feel Stuck)

    In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Dani Tolman, PT welcome back Dr. Shin Beh for a deeper conversation on the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular migraine, Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD), and Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS).These conditions can overlap, feel confusing, and leave patients feeling stuck in their recovery. Dr. Beh breaks down how he differentiates these diagnoses clinically, why vestibular migraine can precipitate PPPD symptoms, and how treatment plans need a whole-person approach. Treatment plans may combine lifestyle optimization strategies, vestibular rehabilitation, medication or supplements, neuromodulation, stress management, and more... and should absolutely be individualized. Whether you're living with chronic dizziness or treating patients with vestibular disorders, this episode offers a practical, compassionate look at why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery.Episode Resources: www.vestibularmd.comDr. Beh's Books: www.vestibularmd.com/about-dr-beh/booksHosted by:🎤 Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS🎤 Dr. Danielle Tolman, PTFor episode recommendations or requests, email us at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our online program and community, The Dizzy Reset™. ⁠⁠⁠Use code TALKDIZZYTOME for 40% off your first month!⁠⁠⁠Connect with Us:→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a free call with us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get free resources straight to your inbox⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our online program and community, The Dizzy Reset™⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch podcast episodes (and more) on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Disclaimer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enjoying the podcast?

    Understanding Cervicogenic Dizziness: Diagnosis and Treatment Explained

    Vestibular physical therapists Abbie Ross, PT, DPT, NCS, and Danielle Tolman, PT, DPT, sit down with Rob Landel, PT, DPT, FAPTA, to unpack cervicogenic dizziness (CGD) — what it is and isn’t, how to tell neck-driven dizziness apart from inner ear causes, and the clinical tools that actually make a difference.They dive into the head–neck differentiation test, cervical joint position error (JPE) testing with a laser, and why CGD rarely causes vertigo or spinning. You’ll also hear how concussion, whiplash, BPPV, and migraine can overlap with neck-related dizziness — plus practical insights on manual traction, cervical strength and endurance training, “pain-first” strategies, and when a short-term collar might help (despite its bad reputation).Episode Resources:Website: skillworks.bizEmail: [email protected] For more FREE resources, click ⁠⁠⁠here⁠.⁠⁠Hosted by:🎤 Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS🎤 Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT For episode recommendations or requests, email us at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Us:→ ⁠⁠⁠Book a free call with us⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Get free resources straight to your inbox⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠Join The Dizzy Reset⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Watch podcast episodes (and more) on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Follow us on TikTok⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Facebook⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Disclaimer⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Enjoying the podcast?

    Rewiring the Dizzy Brain: Insights on Neuroplasticity, Dual Tasking, and Fear

    In this Talk Dizzy to Me episode, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Dani Tolman, PT sit down with Dr. Mike Studer, DPT, MHS, NCS, CEEAA, CWT, CSST, CSRP, CBFP, FAPTA to unpack neuroplasticity—what it is, how it works, and how to apply it in vestibular rehabilitation. We cover dual tasking, prediction error, fear-avoidant vs. fear-adapted movement, motivational interviewing, and patient-directed dosage using the OPTIMAL theory of motor learning. Mike shares practical clinic and real-life examples (driving, grocery stores, cooking), mic-drop lines you’ll quote to patients, and how to talk to insurers using objective measures.If busy visuals or movement bother you, consider listening on Apple Podcasts/Spotify.-Neuroplasticity = learning. It’s not just more pathways; it’s stronger, faster, better-fed pathways that consolidate during sleep.-Dose the meaningful. Intensity, repetitions, salience, and task specificity drive consolidation (“put a post-it on that memory”).-Exposure works. Habituation/adaptation creates prediction error (“that wasn’t as bad as I expected”), reinforcing change via dopamine.-Fear shows up in movement. Beyond fear-avoidant behavior, watch for fear-adapted movement (reduced head turns, co-contraction, slow/over-intentional strategies).-Dual tasking is two goals, not ‘think-and-move’ toward one goal. Use cognitive+motor or visual+motor loads that are personally salient.-Autonomy accelerates progress. Let patients choose dosage (keep, dial down, or push), using motivational interviewing and OPTIMAL theory.-No expiration date. Neuroplastic change remains possible well beyond 1 year—set expectations and use objective measures to justify care.Episode Resources:Email: [email protected]: mikestuder.comInstagram: @MikeStuderDPTBook: The Brain That Chooses ItselfFor more FREE resources, click ⁠⁠⁠here⁠.⁠⁠Hosted by:🎤 Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS🎤 Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT For episode recommendations or requests, email us at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Us:→ ⁠⁠⁠Book a free call with us⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Get free resources straight to your inbox⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠Join The Dizzy Reset⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Watch podcast episodes (and more) on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Follow us on TikTok⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Facebook⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Disclaimer⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Enjoying the podcast?

    Dizziness in the ED: An Inside Look from PT and Physician Perspectives

    Dizziness in the emergency department is common... and complicated. Today, we talk with Dr. Peter Johns (MD) and Dr. Rebekah Griffith, PT about what actually works in the ED: using the HINTS exam correctly, avoiding unnecessary imaging and meclizine-only discharges, knowing when to call the stroke team, and why physical therapists in the ED can transform safety, outcomes, and costs.You’ll hear about how to triage dizzy patients, spot posterior circulation stroke red flags, treat BPPV efficiently, and keep patients safe when answers aren’t immediate. We also cover topics such as orthostatic hypotension, POTS, rapid-access dizzy clinics, and practical discharge planning.Episode Resources:Peter Johns, MD — Emergency physician and vertigo educator (creator of “Spin Class” vertigo course and a popular YouTube channel).Dr. John's "Spin Class" CourseDr. John's YouTube ChannelRebekah Griffith, PT, DPT — Emergency Department physical therapist and educator advocating for PT/OT presence in EDs nationwide.Dr. Griffith's website InstagramKey Takeaways:Use HINTS to rule in peripheral vestibular dysfunctionBPPV is common and under-treated—confirm with positional nystagmus and treat with the correct maneuvers.Assess gait and orthostatics upright, not just vitals in bed; orthostatic hypotension is frequently missed.Embedding PTs in EDs improves safety, reduces unnecessary imaging and admissions, and boosts patient/provider satisfaction.Upstream PT access (outpatient/telehealth) prevents many ED visits and fear-avoidant patterns (e.g., PPPD risk).If this episode helped you, subscribe, like, and share.

    BONUS Episode! Making and Enjoying a Migraine-Friendly Cocktail with Karen Tartt

    Enjoy this fun bonus episode with Karen Tartt, who shares her expertise with a phenomenal and tasty migraine friendly cocktail she created. Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS, Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT and Karen are also joined by Christine Moyer from the podcast Unsteady and Unfiltered. First, prepare the "shrub"Woody Pear Shrub -1 ⅓ cup Pear Juice* -⅔ cup Cane Sugar -1 cup White Distilled Vinegar -2 large sprigs of Rosemary -4 bunches of Thyme -3 Bay Leaves Measure and add all ingredients into a pot on your stove. Cover and turn heat to high. Bring liquid to a boil. Turn down the heat, take off the lid and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Turn off the heat and let cool to room temperature. Pour the contents of the pot into a sealable container and store in the fridge for several hours or overnight. In the morning, strain steeped herbs out of the liquid using a wire mesh strainer or a nut milk bag. Store finished shrub in a sealable container in the fridge until use for up to a month. *Be mindful of the ingredient label when selecting a pear juice. You’ll want to find one that uses ascorbic acid (powdered Vitamin C) as the color protectant instead of lemon juice. Knudsen Juice is a widely available brand that is safe, although I’m sure there are many that are also okay.Pear Cocktail-1 ¼ oz 40% Clear Spirit (vodka, gin, blanco tequila, etc.) -2 oz Woody Pear Shrub -Soda Water -Ice *Measure ingredients into a Collins glass over ice. Using a spoon, gently stir to incorporate all ingredients. Garnish with additional herbs (rosemary, thyme & bay). About KarenIn March of 2019, after 18 months of searching for answersto the seemingly mysterious symptoms Karen had been experiencing, she was diagnosed with Chronic Vestibular Migraine. Post diagnosis, she learned about the ⁠Johns Hopkins Migraine Diet⁠ through Dr. David Buchholz’s book, ⁠“Heal Your Headache”⁠, and started to undergo the tedious elimination process to figure out her personal migraine triggers. In May of 2020, during the Covid pandemic quarantine, Karen launched a blog focused on migraine-friendly cocktails for the at-home bartender, Tartt Drinks. This creative outlet, along with an online audience of fellow migraineurs, provided a space for her to explore the cocktails, flavorsand spirits that were missing from the lives of those affected by migraine. Her migraine-friendly cocktails have since been featured in the Bombay Sapphire Artist Showcase, ⁠Speed Rack⁠ Trading Cards, ⁠Dizzy Cook⁠’s first book release party, ⁠Miles for Migraine⁠ ⁠Social Events⁠ and an upcoming cocktail book. She currently resides in San Francisco, CA and works at ⁠Wildhawk⁠ in the Mission District.

    Vestibular Migraine: Surprising Symptoms, Treatment Evolution, and What’s Next with Dr. Beh

    Can you believe it’s been 3 YEARS since we first had a conversation with Dr. Shin Beh about vestibular migraine? Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS, and Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT catch up and discuss some new updates in vestibular migraine treatment approaches. About Dr. BehDr. Beh completed his neurology residency training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. His fellowship training consisted of: Neuroimmunology & Multiple Sclerosis, Neuro-otology, and Neuro-ophthalmology. His fellowship training was completed at three centers – the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Johns Hopkins University Hospital, and New York University Medical Center. After completion of his fellowship training, he returned to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to to set up its very first Vestibular & Neuro-Visual Disorders Clinic. This Clinic was built to help care for the many people suffering from neurological disorders that caused vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance. Initially, he divided his time between multiple sclerosis and vestibular disorders. After realizing there was a far greater need among people with vestibular disorders, he focused solely on this area, and joined the Headache & Facial Pain Program. Where to find Dr. Beh: https://www.vestibularmd.com/ Hosted by:🎤 Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS🎤 Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT For more FREE resources, click ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.For episode recommendations or requests, email us at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Us:→ ⁠⁠⁠Book a free call with us-hope and healing start now⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Get free resources straight to your inbox⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠Join the waitlist for The Dizzy Reset wellness program⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Watch podcast episodes (and more) on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Follow us on TikTok⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Facebook⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Disclaimer⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠Enjoying the podcast?

    Clinical Pearls for Decision Making When Your Patient's Positional Nystagmus Has You Going... WTF?!

    This is a new and special episode of Talk Dizzy To Me that we couldn't be more excited to share! Jeff Walter, PT, DPT, NCS is back to talk with Danielle Tolman, PT, DPT and Abbie Ross, PT, DPT, NCS about an awesome (and challenging) infrared video goggle video submitted by Dan Streeter, PT, DPT, COMT. This episode breaks down this one video, isolated just to this point in time. All of you vestibuloholics out there may be itching to hear about the whole case... but we're keeping it simple. Instead we take this video step by step to discuss the possibilities of what may be happening physiologically, and then discuss our clinical decision making for determining next steps. Our hope is that this episode helps to give clinicians different perspectives, as well as more confidence with tackling challenging cases. To say that this episode is loaded with Clinical Pearls would be an understatement! If you liked this episode, please be sure to let us know!
