In today’s episode the team sits down in a roundtable and discusses the biggest takeaways from a multi-day virtual event at the Advanced Vestibular Conference, hosted by the team at The University of Pittsburgh. This is a course that happens only once every two years and provides the leading information for vestibular specialists and cutting edge information and research.

The event featured some of the leading minds in the world of vestibular rehabilitation, and so there was no shortage of excellent insights to talk about.

Some key points to listen out for in this episode are:

• Number 1: There is so much that can be done for people who have dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems, and the specialists ARE out there.
• Number 2: Scientists and clinical Specialists in This area know so much about these problems and SO MANY advances have been made recently and in the past couple years.
• Number 3: This roundtable will talk about the MANY reasons why it is SO important for dizziness and balance problems to get addressed.

And again, of course, this is by no means a comprehensive account of all the information that was shared during the conference, this just scratched the surface. But without further ado, let’s get into the episode!
