Balance & Gait Disorders – Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy

Having good balance is important at any age, but it becomes increasingly more important as people age and the possibility of a traumatic fall increases. Having poor balance is dangerous and this cannot be overstated. Poor balance can lead to falls, disability, and even death – especially in older populations.

Why Seek Balance Therapy at Physical Therapists

At Physical Therapists NYC, we know that balance problems don’t just begin when you reach retirement.

They can begin long before then and might not have anything to do with aging. We’re here to help our patients improve their balance at any stage in life because we understand that balance is important to every aspect of a healthy and active life.

Our skilled and award-winning physical therapy team is led by well-trained medical doctors who listen to your concerns and guide your approach to balance. They will pay attention to your list of symptoms, perform diagnostic tests using our state-of-the-art equipment, if necessary, and then move into the gym to take advantage of modern tools, equipment, and techniques to improve your comfort with movement and balance.

From the minute you walk in our door of our modern downtown offices, we will work to accommodate you. We understand that many of our patients work on Wall Street and in downtown NYC, which is why we have early morning and late evening hours, so you don’t have to miss work. Our goal is to treat our patients with the utmost respect and attention to their individual needs and concerns.

What Can I Expect From Vestibular Therapy?

Muscle and joint strength and flexibility
Your inner ear and equilibrium

The best approach to combatting balance concerns is to begin before you experience a loss of balance, unsteadiness, dizziness, vertigo, or lightheadedness. Of course, this isn’t always possible, but the earlier you begin working on a balance program, the better off you’ll be in the long run.
