Helping You Feel Steady, Confident, and In Control
Feeling dizzy, off balance, or unsteady can make even simple daily activities feel overwhelming. At Optimum Health & Wellness in Ketchikan, AK, vestibular therapy is designed to help you regain control, confidence, and stability—so you can move through life without fear of falling or feeling “off.”
We don’t just treat symptoms. We identify the root cause and guide you through a personalized plan that helps your body relearn balance and coordination.
What Is Vestibular Therapy?
Vestibular therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy focused on conditions that affect balance, dizziness, and spatial awareness. These issues often stem from the inner ear, nervous system, or how your brain processes movement and position.
If you experience:
- Dizziness or vertigo
- Feeling unsteady while walking
- Difficulty focusing your eyes when moving
- Motion sensitivity
- Frequent falls or fear of falling
Vestibular therapy may help restore stability and reduce symptoms.
Conditions We Treat
Our therapists commonly treat vestibular conditions such as:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
- Inner ear disorders
- Post-concussion dizziness
- Balance deficits
- Chronic vertigo
- Neurological conditions affecting balance
- Motion sensitivity and visual dizziness
Every condition is different, which is why every treatment plan is tailored to the individual—not a diagnosis alone.
How Vestibular Therapy Works
Your care starts with a thorough evaluation to understand how your balance system is functioning. From there, we create a personalized plan focused on retraining your brain and body to work together again.
Treatment may include:
- Balance and coordination exercises
- Gaze stabilization and eye-movement training
- Habituation exercises to reduce dizziness triggers
- Postural and movement retraining
- Functional strengthening for daily activities
Our goal is to help you feel steady, confident, and capable—not just in the clinic, but in real life.
