The 100 billion dollar rehab question is, how does someone who has had a fall and has lost mobility confidence believe in their balance again?
With a fall comes the paralyzing fear of another and with it the loss of mobility, strength, energy, and independence.

The list goes on, that’s the bad news and usually where the downward health spiral begins and illness and aging complications win.

But there is some good news, you can prevent this downward spiral. Join me on my next balance workshop to learn how!

On episode 78 Co-Host David Dansereau is running solo without his broadcasting partner Mike Garrow, who is in LA to attend the 2025 International Stroke Conference

On this first episode of 2025, David gives a quick update to why he hasn’t been behind the microphone for a bit on the show, and also covers his own ‘magic wand’ answer to our somewhat famous question we’ve asked every guest on our show.
David also reveals the origin story behind the magic wand question, how it's tied to research initiated while at the International Stroke Conference (ISC), his current book project (Closure After Stroke), and what all the knowledge gained from these answers reveals about changes needed to the stroke care pathway.

Here are some of the common themes around changes needed in stroke care (see linked post for details):

Enhanced Public Education and Awareness
Streamlined Emergency Response Systems
Comprehensive Post-Stroke Rehabilitation
Equitable Access to Care
Advancements in Research and Technology
Patient and Care Partner Access and Voice
