Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 120: Unveiling Triple PD: Insights from Dr. Abbie Ross and Dr. Dani Tolman
Q: How should clinicians decide when to consider 3PD in the context of persistent concussion symptoms?
The clinicians explain that chronic dizziness can be a symptom of ongoing concussion issues, but 3PD provides a framework to understand why symptoms persist and should be considered when symptoms align with a maladaptive, fear-based amplification of sensory input, guiding a more comprehensive, staged treatment approach.
EP 120: Unveiling Triple PD: Insights from Dr. Abbie Ross and Dr. Dani Tolman
Q: What is Triple PD and how does it present diagnostically?
Triple PD is Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness, diagnosed when symptoms persist for at least three months and are provoked by upright posture, movement, and busy environments, often without constant vertigo, and commonly triggered by vestibular migraine, neuritis, or similar conditions.
EP 97: Navigating Brain Recovery with Language and Curiosity with Taryn Barlow
Q: So what brought you into this space?
Taryn explains that her career pivot was catalyzed by personal experiences during COVID, family medical challenges, and a drive to create something from home that could still deliver impactful care, leading to the Well Brain and a focus on coaching beyond traditional rehab.
Concussion Nerds: The Roundtable S2 EP 4: The Truth About Nervous System Work (That No One's Saying)
Q: Any other thoughts around nervous system rehab?
The panel emphasizes that rehab is multi-system and not a cookie-cutter process; individual delivery, integration of vision, vestibular, and cognitive work, and patient-driven adaptation are key to moving beyond plateau and toward meaningful recovery.
EP 103: Navigating Vision Challenges Post-Concussion with Dr. Paul Rollett
Q: What makes neurooptometry different from standard optometry, and how does that impact concussion rehab?
Neurooptometry adds a rehab-focused lens to the evaluation, emphasizing how eye movements, binocular function, and visual processing interact with brain recovery, which changes how we assess and tailor lenses and prism.
