NL Balance & Dizziness Centre

NL Balance & Dizziness staff use state of the art balance and vertigo assessment tools to assist with diagnosis of a person’s dizziness and imbalance.

Newfoundland Balance & Dizziness Centre is a physiotherapy clinic dedicated to providing specialized assessment and treatment services for those with dizziness, loss of balance and fear of falling. The clinic is designed and equipped with fall prevention safety equipment that allows for safe balance training and walking without the fear or risk of falling. Dizziness and vertigo can occur from man

y conditions such as inner ear crystals or infections; neurological conditions such as stroke; traumatic injuries such as whiplash and concussion; and anxiety or low blood pressure. Proper diagnosis can lead to beneficial treatment that can ease these symptoms and return a person to their normal activities. The staff at NL Balance & Dizziness Centre look forward to helping our community ease the symptom burden and health care concerns caused by dizziness, falls and imbalance.

Happy World Physiotherapy Day from NL Balance & Dizziness Centre!

This year’s theme shines a light on the important role of physiotherapy in the prevention, management, and rehabilitation of cardiovascular disease and stroke.

For many people, recovery doesn’t end when they leave the hospital. Physiotherapy can help individuals rebuild strength, improve balance and mobility, regain independence, and confidently return to the activities that matter most to them.

At NLBDC, we see every day how movement can be a powerful part of recovery. Whether it’s taking those first steps after a stroke, improving endurance, reducing the risk of falls, or building confidence to stay active, physiotherapy supports people throughout their journey.

Today, we celebrate the physiotherapists who help turn “I can’t” into “I can” — one movement at a time.🩵

Here’s to better movement, greater independence, and healthier lives.

Happy World Physiotherapy Day!🎉

Celebrating Maura! 🎉

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate our physiotherapist, Maura Maguire , on being featured by Dalhousie University in its 2026 graduate profile, “Following family footsteps into physiotherapy.”

Maura’s journey into physiotherapy is deeply rooted in family, inspired by her grandmother who immigrated to Newfoundland from Ireland as a physiotherapist during the polio outbreak in the 1950s. Today, she is continuing that legacy through her passion for movement, neurological rehabilitation and patient care.

At NL Balance & Dizziness Centre, Maura works with individuals experiencing concussions and vestibular dysfunction, bringing her neuro-focused training and growing expertise to every patient she serves.

We’re delighted to have Maura as part of the NLBDC team and look forward to seeing the impact she will continue to make in our community and beyond.

Congratulations, Maura! We’re cheering you on! 👏🎓
