Balance and Vestibular Rehabilitation Program
Balance and vestibular problems are common, yet few are aware that effective treatment is available. Folsom Physical Therapy has developed Vestibular and Balance Rehabilitation to help people with balance disorders return to comfortable, safe and enhanced activity and lifestyle.
How do our physical therapists help with vestibular and balance issues?
A physical therapist specialized in treating balance disorders first evaluates you to determine the nature of your dysfunction. In the case of balance problems, the involved systems could be of an orthopedic, cardiovascular, metabolic, or central or peripheral neurological nature.
Based on the evaluation, a rehabilitation program is designed to address your balance, dizziness, overall fitness level, education on management of symptoms and activity pacing to help build confidence and restore functional mobility.

- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
