So I'm going to talk about a condition called Vision motion sickness. 01:48 Now I'm going to preface this by saying that in this condition, it falls under the umbrella of vertigo. And I would check out on my website, my three videos I did on vertigo, which will give you some insight and basis as I talk about vision motion sickness. So this is actually a pretty common condition. And it occurs it gets triggered when you are moving quickly, either in a car, or if you move your head quickly, you start to feel nauseas or dizzy, lightheaded. So I want to talk about this condition. Because most eye doctors and neurologists, in my opinion, 02:40 could do a better job in diagnosing it. And of course, in my field, the rehabilitation of it is pretty awesome. 02:51 So if you suffer this set of symptoms, 2:56 what I have found over the years is that there's some connection to either some concussion 03:04 trauma could be a head trauma could be emotional trauma.

And both of them are important in helping us deal with orientation and balance. And in this vote mode of vision motion sickness there is either an overacting visual component overacting vestibular component. And if this is a chronic issue, it can actually turn into 04:14 a chronic situation where you have low responsiveness. 04:20 Now another symptom that I'll bring into this is the light sensitivity. And this occurs quite frequently, you know, when you go into one of the big box stores like Walmart, or target 04:37 and you're dealing with those really troublesome fluorescent lights that are blinking and so you have an over sensitivity to this flickering. 04:49 Another factor in this is that your energetic resources and reserves are usually pretty low and 05:00 We can test this visually, by seeing how well you can sustain your visual focus, or how flexible you are in making changes in your focus.
