Research & Statistics
MST Average Symptom Improvement (follow up evaluation 38 days after initiation of the program)
96 % of post concussion syndrome patients report improvements within 38 days.
Majority of patients report over 50% improvement in symptoms within 38 days
Example of how MST can open up functional color fields in just 12 days. Gains are fast and global when functional field improvement is combined with simultaneous inputs to vestibular, auditory, proprioception, and oculomotor therapy.
