Regain Balance with Vestibular Physical Therapy

Feel steady, confident, and back in control

Dizziness isn’t something you just have to live with. It’s your body’s way of asking for help, and the right therapy can make a real difference.

At Alliance Physical Therapy, we provide one-on-one, targeted care that helps restore your balance and your confidence.

Specialized Care for Dizziness, Vertigo, and Balance Issues

If you’re experiencing unsteadiness, nausea, or that unsettling spinning sensation when you change positions, you’re not alone, and you’re not stuck. At Alliance Physical Therapy, we specialize in vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) to help you move past dizziness, restore your balance, and feel steady on your feet again.

It’s Not “All in Your Head”— It’s in Your Vestibular System

Your vestibular system, housed in the inner ear, is part of what keeps you upright, stable, and oriented. It works in harmony with your eyes and muscles to manage head movements, spatial awareness, and balance. When this system is impaired—whether from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a concussion, aging, or neurological conditions—it can feel like the world is tilting, spinning, or moving beneath you.

We treat a wide range of vestibular disorders, including:

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

  • Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis

  • Migraine-associated vertigo

  • Post-concussion dizziness and imbalance

  • Vestibular hypofunction (unilateral or bilateral)

  • Balance problems linked to neurological or cardiovascular conditions

  • Stroke-related dizziness and movement impairment

Many patients dealing with symptoms of dizziness also experience anxiety, fear of movement, and a decreased quality of life. You may avoid walking outside, turning quickly, or even bending over to tie your shoes. That’s not sustainable — and it’s not necessary. Relief is possible, and we can help you get there.

We Hear You, and We Know What Works

At Alliance, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Our vestibular-certified physical therapists, trained through the American Institute of Balance (AIB), bring the advanced skill you need and empathy you deserve to every session.

Our approach starts with:

Comprehensive assessment of vestibular function, including balance, gaze stability, and positional testing

In-depth look at eye movements and coordination

Functional analysis of gait, posture, and reaction to motion

Safe recreation of dizziness-triggering movements to identify and correct root causes

We recognize how disruptive and frustrating vestibular symptoms can be. That’s why we treat the whole person, not just the inner ear.

The Alliance Approach to Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy 

Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is an evidence-based treatment approach designed to retrain the brain and body to better interpret signals from the vestibular system. Our individualized treatment plans are built to reduce dizziness, improve balance, and increase independence in daily activities.

Here’s what you can expect:

Gaze Stability Exercises

Vestibular disorders often disrupt your ability to focus while moving, making it harder to read, walk, or watch TV. These exercises retrain the visual-vestibular reflex, improving coordination between eye movements and head movements so your vision stays clear and stable—no matter what you’re doing.

Habituation Training

Certain motions may trigger dizziness over and over. Habituation uses gradual exposure to help your brain adapt and stop overreacting. The result? Less sensitivity, fewer symptoms, and more control in everyday movement.

Balance and Postural Control

Our targeted balance training helps restore stability and reduce your risk of falls. Whether you're coming back from a stroke, managing age-related decline, or rebuilding after an injury, strengthening your vestibular function leads to more confident, controlled movement.

Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers

If you’ve been diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), these techniques get to the root of the issue. Through precise head movements, we guide otoconia (tiny crystals) back to their proper place in your inner ear. For many patients, these maneuvers—like the Epley or Semont—provide fast, lasting relief.

What Makes Our Treatment Different?

We don’t stop at symptom relief. Our mission is to empower you with tools and strategies that support lasting progress. Your therapist will walk you through a full plan of care, including:

  • Home-based VRT routines you can manage independently

  • Education on how to navigate flare-ups or relapses

  • Lifestyle tips for movement safety and confidence

  • Techniques to reduce fall risk in daily routines

And unlike fast-paced clinics that rotate you through multiple providers, you’ll work one-on-one with the same therapist each session — someone who knows your name, understands your goals, and is invested in your success.

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Left untreated, vestibular disorders don’t just slow you down. They can hold your life hostage. Patients report avoiding driving, social activities, exercise, or even basic errands due to fear of dizziness or falling. And when mobility decreases, overall health and emotional well-being often decline too.

You don’t have to live cautiously or fearfully. With the right care, you can return to the things you love, with stability and strength.

Real People. Real Relief.

"Everyone in this practice is highly skilled and easy to work with. They listen to you, explain procedures and really care. It is a small, intimate environment and not a PT factory like other clinics. Plus, the therapist is with you, not handed off to an assistant. I am happy I found them and highly recommend.”

- Janice N.

"Since I am very active and fit for someone in their 70’s, I’ve used many PTs over the years, but Shelley is the best one, by far. Too many times, I’ve had relatively inexperienced PTs that do more harm than good. Shelley is very experienced and knowledgeable, and has never caused any harm. I will never go to any other PT again.”
