Balance disorder treatment with a physical therapist

Patients coming to us for help overcoming any form of balance disorder can first expect to receive a thorough diagnostic evaluation. This will generally consist of a review of your medical history, a discussion of your specific symptoms and triggers, and a physical evaluation that includes movement, gait and balance tests.

From there, your physical therapist can make informed recommendations about options to help you develop a comprehensive treatment plan. Balance disorders can often be improved with the following methods:

• Targeted exercises to improve gait and balance
• Posture training
• Neck mobility and stretching exercises
