Having a vestibular issue can range from mild symptoms such as slight ringing in the ears, to more difficult symptoms such as headaches, to the most dangerous of symptoms such as dizziness that leads to falling. Even the mildest of symptoms are not something you just have to live with. There are ways to get you better, and it may not be as difficult or time-consuming as you think.
At Elite Physical Therapy and Balance, our clinics are equipped with the latest technology to help you through to your road of recovery. Our specialized therapists will create customized care plans that may include some or all of the following:
The Shuttle:
Like a swinging bridge that allows our Physical Therapists to determine a patient balance needs based on their movements as they walk across. For therapy, we use the Shuttle bridge on easy, medium, and harder-to-balance options on the platform as we perform exercises with the patients. Pediatric patients often enjoy playing catch as they stand on this Shuttle.
The Harness System:
Patients can confidently perform balance exercises, knowing that they CAN NOT fall secured in our harness system.
Virtual Reality Goggles:
Don the VR goggles and get ready to tackle real –life situations that will test a patients balance, while keeping them engaged and challenged.
Biodex:
State-of-the-Art machine with a floating platform designed to offer over 30 interactive activities that encourage solid body structure and balance, with a reporting system designed to analyze patients’ weaknesses and offer designed programs to help them advance. Our pediatric patients especially love playing games on the Biodex.
