Vestibular rehab!
On this episode of the podcast we talk with Vestibular Rehabilitation specialist Firat Kesgin about the intricacies of vestibular rehab, and just how complex it can be, what the effects are if a patient is misdiagnosed and then continue down the “wrong” pathways, as well as what you can do to help aid and guide their rehab. If you’ve listened to our podcasts on concussions you will know just how pivotal an early diagnosis of a vestibular issue can be and when left unchecked and untreated how devastating the results can be!
