How can a physical therapist help me if I am dizzy or off balance?
👀 Screening: A physical therapist can screen your history and symptoms to see if you can be treated in physical therapy or a referral to a otolaryngologist is required.
💪🏻Evaluation: A physical therapist will evaluate your vestibular system, musculoskeletal system, and neurological system to reveal imbalances to determine the best course of treatment for your symptoms.
🏃♀️Treatments: Physical therapists provide a wide variety of vestibular treatments including, but not limited to: BPPV repositioning maneuvers (like the Epley maneuver), habituation (movement training), adaptation (dynamic vision training), optokinetic training (stability in visually overstimulating environments), nervous system calming techniques, neck stabilization, and more. 📚 Education: Knowledge is power when it comes to managing symptoms. A PT can tell you about the recovery process for your disorder, when to push yourself and when to rest, how to manage flare-ups, how to optimize your rehab, and if a referral to a specialist might be needed.
