A single visit, redirecting recovery

What happens in one session.

Sixty to ninety minutes, in your home or office, with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. No assistants, no parallel patients, no clipboard handoffs. Here is what that actually looks like.

Phase 01

A real conversation first.

Before any test, we sit down where you'd actually sit down. You walk us through the symptom story — what triggers it, what calms it, what you have already tried, and what you want your life to look like in three months.

  • Symptom timeline and trigger mapping
  • Review of prior imaging, ENT, neurology, or PT records
  • Functional goals — sleep, work, sport, parenting, driving
Phase 02

A full clinical exam, on your ground.

A complete vestibular, ocular-motor, cervical, and orthopedic screen — the same workup you would receive in clinic, without the travel.

  • Oculomotor and gaze-stability testing
  • Positional testing (Dix-Hallpike, roll test) on your bed and pillow
  • Balance, gait, and dual-task screen
  • Neck endurance and proprioception testing
  • Exertional testing with heart rate monitoring for return to sport
  • Cervical and orthopedic clearing for headache, neck, and shoulder drivers as well as core and lower extremity stability contributors
Phase 03

Treatment begins today.

If a maneuver is indicated, we perform it. If a habituation or gaze-stability protocol fits, we start it and watch your response. You are not waiting two weeks for a follow-up to start on change.

  • Canalith repositioning when BPPV is identified
  • Vestibular ocular reflex and gaze-stabilization training
  • Manual therapy for cervicogenic and orthopedic contributors
  • Targeted breathing techniques
  • Workspace, lighting, and screen setup adjustments on the spot
Phase 04

A take-home plan you'll actually use.

You leave the session with a working diagnosis, a written home program calibrated to your space, and a clear sense of whether further visits are needed — or whether you have what you need to keep going on your own.

  • Written home exercise program with photos or video
  • Symptom-tracking framework so you know what is improving
  • Referral networks with sports medicine, ENT, neurology, or imaging is warranted
  • Honest answer on whether you need follow-up care

Why your space matters clinically.

Vestibular and balance triggers are context-dependent. A clean clinic floor under fluorescent light tells us very little about why you stumble on your own staircase at 6 a.m. Testing in the actual environment is not a luxury — it is better data.

If you only ever book one session.

Most patients do return — but the practice is built to get you moving on, not into a scheduling template. You leave the first visit with a diagnosis, an evidence-backed plan, and the clinical reasoning behind both. That is the standard, regardless of what comes next.
