Listen Later

Dr. Brittni Charle is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the Concussion Program Director at [re+active] therapy and wellness in Los Angeles, California. With nearly a decade of specialized experience, Brittni is an expert in neuro-vestibular rehabilitation and is deeply passionate about treating post-concussion syndrome. She works at a unique integrative clinic that brings together physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychology, and wellness classes under one roof to provide comprehensive, whole-person care.Bethany and Brittni dive deep into the innovative, patient-centered model of care at Reactive PT. Brittni explains their mission to "meet the person where they're at," moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach. She breaks down their "Pie Chart" method for evaluation, which assesses physical, sensory, psychosocial, and autonomic factors to create a complete picture of a patient's health.

A major focus is on the critical yet often overlooked role of sensory training in concussion rehab. Brittni describes common issues like light and sound sensitivity and offers practical, actionable strategies—from using specialized glasses to graded exposure—to help the nervous system recalibrate and feel safe again.

This episode is packed with hope, clinical wisdom, and a clear message: recovery is possible with the right comprehensive and compassionate approach.
