Who it helps
- Adults who have fallen or feel unsteady
- Patients with vertigo, dizziness, or inner-ear (vestibular) disorders
- Recovery from stroke, Parkinson's disease, or neuropathy
- Anyone walking differently after surgery or injury
- People using a cane or walker who want to rely on it less
What treatment looks like
We test your balance and walking pattern to find exactly what's failing — strength, sensation, vision, inner ear, or coordination — then train it directly. Treatment is progressive and practical: stepping over obstacles, turning, carrying objects, and recovering from a stumble.
For vertigo caused by BPPV, repositioning maneuvers often resolve symptoms in one to three visits.
Medicare and fall prevention
Medicare covers balance and gait physical therapy without a referral. If you or a parent has had a fall or a close call, that's reason enough to come in.
Frequently asked questions
Can physical therapy help with vertigo?
Yes. Vestibular physical therapy treats the most common causes of vertigo and dizziness, including BPPV, which often improves within a few visits.
Does Medicare cover balance training?
