  • S2E6: Helena Esmonde
    This week JC & AW interview Helena Esmonde, who is a PT & entrepreneur who invented the Vesbitular First Goggles. Vestibular First, which are infrared video goggles that allow you to see the eyes in the dark. Understanding what the eyes are doing in the dark provides a tremendous amount of information about the central state of the nervous system. In this great conversation, Helena shares with us her path & what led her to develop this great piece of equipment. We also discussed all things vestibular, and she is a great educator that is able to convey information in a digestible manner. More info can be found at https://vestibularfirst.com/ Enjoy the conversation. Helena specializes in treating patients with neurologic, balance, and vestibular (inner ear balance system) conditions. She received her psychology undergraduate degree at Northwestern University and graduated Cum Laude from Marquette University's Doctoral Physical Therapy program in 2005. She worked at an acute care hospital for 8 years and developed the vestibular program there to help address the needs of dizzy patients, unfortunately without access to infrared video goggles but luckily with quality continuing education courses and mentorship. When she transitioned to the outpatient setting in 2014, she gained access to infrared video goggles and found that they vastly improved her ability to accurately diagnose and treat vestibular conditions, particularly for more complex patients, such as those with concurrent post-concussive syndrome and BPPV. Helena became Vestibular Competencied at Emory University in 2015, certified to treat Cervicogenic Dizziness in 2016, and assisted teaching the lab portion of an Advanced Concussion course for North American Seminars in 2017. In 2018, Helena completed the clinical practice requirements and examination to attain the certification as a Neurologic Clinical Specialist (NCS). Dedicated to student education, she has served as a teaching assistant at Temple, Jefferson, Neumann, and the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, and earned an advanced clinical instructor certification. Helena has also presented at organizational and area Vestibular Special Interest Groups, Balance Center rounds at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and the Penn Medicine Mind Your Brain Conference. As an avid runner herself, Helena enjoys volunteering at local races to support her community.

    Consider this a wrap up of one & roll out of The Movement Guild Podcast. TMG podcast has a bunch of great conversations lined up with movement leaders. In this conversation, we catch up with Nick and find out what we've been up to. Nick also tells us a lot of what he's been studying, including the use of Moxy & breathing tools with his patients.

  • Episode 25: Nick & Adam vol. 3

    It's been awhile, but Nick and Adam are the guests on this episode. N & A had a good conversation about a lot of different clinical type stuff, including pain, the vestibular system, biomechanics (does it matter?) and what they're focusing on clinically and professionally.

    It pretty much does represent one of their non-recorded conversations, but with a few less cuss words. We did our best to stir a little controversy, not sure if we did, so listen in and let us know what you think.
