Vestibular Therapy- The Best Thing Nobody Knows About
I probably say “Physical therapy for treating dizziness is the best thing nobody knows about” ten times a month, so help us spread the word! If you or a friend or relative are experiencing dizziness or spinning with lying down, turning over, bending down, or changing positions, reach out to a physical therapist who specializes in vestibular therapy! The fix is probably easier, quicker, and less awful than you think.
Dizzy when walking down the supermarket aisles? There might be an easy fix!
We all have a reflex (the Vestibulo Occular Reflex or VOR) that keeps the eyes focused on their target regardless of how one’s head moves around. Sometimes this reflex can be impaired which is referred to as vestibulopathy.
What People Are Saying
“I have had the pleasure of twice receiving therapy from Dr. Cook. In 2017, I had knee and neck issues and this year, once again knee therapy as I underwent a series of shots to my left knee. Dr. Cook’s regimen of therapy and exercise has benefited me immensely. She is an excellent therapist but, even more important, she is a wonderful person. She puts a person at ease with her cheerful, outgoing personality as she conducts the therapy. I highly recommend her!”
