Occupational Therapist
Balance stems from a complex integration of separate body systems: sensation, inner ear, musculoskeletal, and vision functions. When a person exhibits an impairment in one or all of these systems, it may affect their balance. We offers evaluation, training and education for those with balance or vestibular challenges.
Have you ever experienced feelings of dizziness/spinning, falls or loss of balance? If so, you may benefit from our services. The Balance & Falls program is designed to
- Improve independence in the home and community
- Improve safety by reducing the risks of falls
- Overall improvement in quality of life
- Decrease dizziness with functional activities
Your physical therapist and/or occupational therapist will conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine what may be causing balance or vestibular impairments. Treatment is highly individualized based on the patient's specific needs and goals.
Treatment may include:
- Assessment using Real Eyes video goggles
- Stretching and strengthening
- Balance and vestibular exercises
- Conditioning
- Home modification and education
