  • Excellent resource

    Just head 1st episode & it’s great. So thankful. Podcast is an excellent platform for patient education. Hearing specialists & patients in conversation is a powerful & natural way to quickly get up to speed on a new complex topic like vestibular disorders. It’s how humans naturally learn about things, hearing others talk about it.

Yoga for Balance
