Treating vestibular dysfunction requires exposing the system to complex environments to retrain it effectively. Sitting in a dark room isn’t the solution. About 1/3 of patients with concussions experience effects on the ocular system. Symptoms can include headaches in the front of the head and difficulty with tasks like math, science, or reading. 📚✏️ In this video, our patient is performing saccades and VOR 1 exercises both horizontally and vertically to improve their vestibular function. 👀⬅️➡️⬆️⬇️ At Therapy Partners of North Texas, we’re dedicated to helping you recover and get back to your daily activities. 💪 #ConcussionRecovery #VestibularTherapy #PhysicalTherapy #TherapyPartners #DFW #HealthAndWellness #OcularHealth #PostConcussion #PatientCare
