Our Physical Therapists are trained to assess and treat balance and equilibrium problems to help patients improve stability when standing and walking, regain control of movement, and reduce the risk of falls. We provide individualized programs to increase patients' confidence and regain a safe and active lifestyle. This program can also be provided in a home care setting, however, we recommend that continued vestibular rehabilitation be done in our out-patient clinic for full access to our facility equipment.
