agreed, and VRT is important for recovery, however when it comes to MAV there are beliefs that VRT can just keep aggrivating your symptoms and delaying recovery if you are not ready for this. This is where it becomes confusing. I try to get an amount of stimulation but when I feel half dead and still want to be able to function, i.e. wash the dishes and go on the computer without severe discomfort, it has helped tremendously. I went into remission for 3 years without the use of drugs and was wearing the neck brace just before.
