VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION THERAPY

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of vertigo–the sudden sensation that the room is spinning or your head is spinning. It can be characterized by brief episodes of mild to intense dizziness. Symptoms may be triggered by specific changes in the position of your head, and by lying down, turning over, or sitting up in bed.

 

Northern Rhode Island Physical Therapy specializes in Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy, sometimes called VRT. This is a unique form of physical therapy designed to eliminate or lessen these symptoms using habituation exercises or the Epley maneuver.Our objectives are to:

  • Reduce the sensations of dizziness

  • Improve stability while moving

  • Reduce the incidence of falling

  • Improve neuromuscular coordination

  • Decrease anxiety due to vestibular disorientation

"I had reached the point where my shoulder was frozen in place, I just couldn't move without pain. It was a relief to me to have my doctor recommend therapy over surgery. At Northern Rhode Island Physical Therapy I recieved Ultrasound, deep heating sessions in combination with joint loosening and strengthening on a machine. Within 4-weeks I had felt better than I had in years"

"Playing high school football can be fun, but getting tackled and breaking your leg with ligament damage is not. After the cast came off, I had some pretty intensive physical therapy sessions at Northern Rhode Island Physical Therapy. Now my leg is stronger than ever and I'm playing basketball without worry. The therapist taught me stretching exercises to use before each game to prevent another injury."

"For years I competed in golf at a pretty high level, but as I aged I began to notice some loss of flexibility and range of motion effecting my game. With the help of NRIPT I began a stretching program that enabled me to get my game to where I want it!

"My busy schedule wouldn't tolerate a stiff neck preventing me from driving. I wasn't able to turn my head left or right without pain. My Doctor recommended physical therapy instead of other more invasive treatments. The therapy plan developed by the staff at Northern Rhode Island Physical Therapy worked out the kinks. Driving my grandkids around isn't a pain in the neck anymore."

"Many thanks for the great treatments over the recent weeks. From my initial visit, it was immediately obvious that it was staffed by personnel who were truly concerned with the welfare of their customers. In addition, from the moment you enter the facility, everyone else you encounter is equally pleasant and friendly. I never regarded my visits to the center as anything but positive. I will wear my [graduation] t-shirt with pleasure as it will remind me of your care."
Ray F.
Just wanted to thank your entire staff for all you do. Every aspect of your business is impeccable! Having been disabled since 1979, I have experience with physical therapy. You ALL are the absolute best, miles ahead of any therapy I've ever had. So very grateful for my progress and for the lifestyle progam implemented by Northern RI Physical Therapy.
