Treatment for Dizziness, Imbalance, and Parkinson’s Disease


We offer physical therapy evaluations, treatments, and exercises for those suffering from imbalance, dizziness, and Parkinson’s disease. We specialize in identifying causative factors resulting in imbalance, dizziness, vertigo, and falls. We also focus on implementing brain changing exercises for Parkinson’s through one-on-one therapy sessions and group exercise classes.

What is Vestibular Therapy?

Vestibular therapy, also known as Vestibular Rehab Therapy (VRT), is a sub-specialty under the umbrella of neurologic physical therapy. Finding the right specialist and getting an accurate diagnosis is often the hardest part for people with dizziness and imbalance. Symptoms may include instability, a sensation of spinning or movement, vertigo, disequilibrium, falls, and vision problems. These issues are often accompanied by difficulty concentrating, foggy-headedness, anxiety, and depression. Thankfully, these problems are quite treatable through specialized vestibular and balance rehabilitation.

What is Parkinson’s Physical Therapy?

Exercise is a great tool for re-wiring the neural connections in your brain to make movement easier. This approach is based on a phenomenon known as neuroplasticity. Establishing and maintaining good Parkinson’s-specific exercise and lifestyle principles are paramount in living your best life with Parkinson’s disease.

By the time motor symptoms show up, people with Parkinson’s have already lost as much as 80% of their dopamine neurons that are responsible for initiation and ease of movement, among other functions.

Believe it or not — you aren’t stuck with the brain you have. You can change it!

We will teach you brain changing strategies and movements that literally change the circuitry of your brain. We apply Parkinson’s oriented, research-based principles to help you maximize the benefits of your exercise practice that will drive back and stave off your symptoms and slow the progression the disease.
