In Episode 4 of This Headache Journey, host Adam Flaherty shares his personal experience navigating chronic headaches, sharing a story about how a routine eye exam discovered that his eyes work harder than most peoples' eyes to refocus between objects at various distances. This discovery landed him at Victory Visual Training in the care of Dr. Amy Pruszensky.
Adam shares his experience with visual training, and welcomes Dr. Amy onto the podcast to explain the relationship between the eyes and chronic headaches.
Dr. Amy Pruszenski is known as the "eyeball coach" and has a passion for helping people optimize their visual system. She explains how vision therapy—a kind of physical therapy for your eyes—can truly make a difference, especially for those of us who feel like we've tried everything to relieve our headache pain.
