Personal Statement
As a physical therapist who specializes in the treatment of vestibular disorders, my primary focus is helping patients recover from balance and dizziness problems. These conditions can have a profound impact on a person's quality of life, making even simple tasks a challenge.
My role is to thoroughly evaluate each patient's symptoms, medical history and physical function so that I can develop a customized treatment plan targeting the underlying cause of their balance, dizziness and vestibular complaints.
Vestibular rehabilitation requires a collaborative approach, and I work closely with my patients every step of the way, guiding them through their recovery process. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a patient's and family's joy when they regain their confidence to overcome their dizziness or unsteadiness so they can regain control of their life again.
