Recovery & Movement
Balance & Dizziness
Care for vertigo, unsteadiness, fall concerns, and changes in walking or balance.
A useful first step
Understand what is limiting you.
Dizziness and unsteadiness can have different causes. A focused examination helps identify whether positional testing, balance work, walking practice, strengthening, or medical follow-up is the right next step.
Physical therapy does not start with a generic exercise sheet. It starts with your history, a focused examination, and a clear discussion about what you want to do more comfortably or confidently.

Home and fall-risk guidance
This page is general education, not a diagnosis or an individual treatment plan. Physical therapy is not emergency care. Call 911 or seek urgent medical help for emergency symptoms.
Can I start physical therapy before I know the exact diagnosis?
A physical therapist can evaluate many movement-related concerns without imaging first. If the history or examination suggests you need another medical evaluation, your therapist should explain that and help you choose the appropriate next step.
How long will recovery take?
Timelines depend on the cause, severity, duration, health history, goals, and response to care. After your evaluation, your therapist can outline early milestones and update the plan as your function changes.
What should I do before my appointment?
Write down when your symptoms began, which activities change them, and what you hope to return to. Wear clothing that allows comfortable movement and bring relevant insurance, referral, imaging, or surgical information.
