What is the basis for this advice? Has anyone consulted with a neurologic specialist prior to dismissing its relevance here? Vest. rehabilitation can be very useful for those with chiari malformation... especially when it's been surgically addressed and improved upon. It's no different than when someone has knee replacement surgery and goes into physical therapy to learn to walk properly again under the guidance of a professional. Chiari has a very direct and significant effect on the vestibular system and rehab of such is potentially quite applicable here. Those with chiari develop dysfunctional neurologic patternings that can/will persist in the bodies sensory/motor pathways unless addressed properly. I think it's a good idea to look at the big picture. All of this should entail more than just forcing the spine back into an upright position... there are underlaying cause(s) at play, whether known or unknown, they're worth consideration for the best possible outcome.
What's right for one person may not be for another...
best wishes
