Vestibular Rehab for Active Living, Healthy Aging, Lifelong Wellness
Backed by Advanced Certification and Proven Results
At Whitmire Physical Therapy, I specialize in diagnosing and treating the root causes of dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, and post-concussion symptoms. I offer a level of assessment and care that goes beyond the standard approach.
What Makes Vestibular Care Specialized?
Vestibular conditions are complex. Effective treatment begins with a deep understanding of the three sensory systems that control balance:
- 🧠 Vestibular (inner ear): Senses motion and head position relative to gravity
- 👀 Visual: Guides gaze stability and spatial orientation
- 🦶 Somatosensory (body awareness): Provides feedback from the feet, joints, and muscles
I conduct a comprehensive, head-to-toe assessment that examines how these systems are working together—or compensating improperly. This allows me to pinpoint the source of symptoms and personalize treatment for optimal results.
Why Advanced Training Matters
Vestibular rehab is not one-size-fits-all. My CCVR certification (Certificate of Competency in Vestibular Rehabilitation) is a nationally recognized advanced credential that ensures I bring evidence-based, precise, and efficient care to every patient. Here, your care is rooted in advanced clinical reasoning, objective testing, and minimal-visit, high-value treatment strategies. I also provide remote monitoring and tailored home programs to support your recovery between visits.
Take the First Step Toward Feeling Steady Again
Whether your dizziness is sudden, longstanding, or tied to a concussion or medical condition, you're not alone—and you're not stuck. Let’s get you back to living with confidence, clarity, and balance.
NOT YOUR AVERAGE PHYSICAL THERAPY SESSION
What to Expect from a Vestibular Evaluation
Your visit will include:
✅ A detailed discussion of your symptoms and medical history
✅ Eye movement testing (to check how your eyes track, focus, and stabilize)
✅ Balance testing in different conditions (like eyes closed, standing on soft surfaces, or moving)
✅ Walking and posture assessment to spot any changes or imbalances
✅ Testing for BPPV (a common cause of vertigo triggered by head position)
✅ Vision screening using tools to assess how your eyes work together
✅ Testing how well your body senses movement and joint position (proprioception)
✅ Clear education about your condition and how your balance systems (inner ear, vision, and body awareness) work together
You don’t have to “just live with it.” I work with patients experiencing:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
- Vestibular neuritis/labyrinthitis
- Post-concussion dizziness and motion sensitivity
- Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)
- Vestibular migraine
- Age-related imbalance
- Multisensory dizziness (vision + vestibular + joint instability)
- Visual motion intolerance
- Oscillopsia (bouncing vision)
Flexible Payment Options for Your Care
