FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers

Your brain is like a detective trying to figure out where your body is in space. To do this, it uses information from your eyes, your inner ears, and your body's touch sensors.

Sometimes, these senses send mixed messages, like when your eyes say you are still, but your inner ear says you're moving. This is called a "sensory mismatch," and it's like a puzzle your brain can't solve. This confusion is the "what" of dizziness.

The "how" is what happens because of this confusion. You might wobble, feel unsteady, or have trouble seeing clearly. Therapists can measure these things to see how bad the mismatch is.

The "why" is the most important part. It's why your brain chooses a certain way to deal with the confusion. Maybe it relies too much on what your eyes see or what your feet feel, ignoring the inner ears. Therapists try to figure out this "why" to help your brain learn to use all the senses together again.

Traditional treatments often focus on fixing symptoms, like making you less dizzy. However, at FYZICAL Fairless Hills, we look at the “why” behind the dizziness. Our therapists identify the specific mismatches and how your brain is trying to cope. They then create personalized plans to retrain your brain to trust all your senses again and improve your balance.

FYZICAL therapists are certified balance specialists, addressing gait, vestibular, dizziness, and vertigo issues. The clinic's Safety Overhead System (S.O.S.) further sets them apart. This innovative harness system provides a fall-free environment, enabling therapists to challenge patients safely and effectively.
