What is Vestibular Therapy and Concussion Treatment?
At Elite PT, we specialize in Vestibular Therapy to help individuals experiencing dizziness, balance issues, and vestibular-related disorders regain their stability and confidence. Our professional team is dedicated to providing personalized care using the latest in therapeutic techniques and research.
Vestibular disorders can disrupt your sense of balance and spatial orientation, leading to dizziness, vertigo, and other complications. These issues often stem from problems in the inner ear or brain that affect your body’s ability to interpret movement and balance signals. Our goal is to address these disruptions and restore your normal function.

Vertigo Treatment
Vertigo is not just “feeling dizzy”—it’s the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning, even when you’re still. The most common cause is BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), which we can treat with specific, targeted maneuvers such as the Epley or Semont techniques.
Our vestibular specialists will:
- Perform a comprehensive assessment to identify the cause of your vertigo
- Use repositioning maneuvers to resolve symptoms
- Create a home exercise plan to prevent recurrence
In most cases, vertigo can be significantly improved or fully resolved in just a few sessions.
Our Approach to Concussion Rehab
Physical therapy is a critical part of a comprehensive concussion management plan. Our licensed therapists are trained in vestibular, ocular-motor, and neuromuscular rehabilitation to help you safely return to daily life, work, school, or sport.
What Is a Concussion?
A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) that affects how your brain functions. It can result from a blow to the head, a fall, or a sudden jolt to the body. Symptoms can be subtle or severe and may include headaches, dizziness, balance issues, sensitivity to light/noise, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating.
At Elite PT, we understand that every concussion is unique—and so is your recovery. We create customized treatment plans that may include:
Vestibular Therapy
