Specialized Vestibular Rehab for Balance Disorders in Orlando

Our vestibular rehab programs are built on precision diagnostics and evidence-based treatments that address the underlying vestibular and neurological factors disrupting your balance and coordination. Every treatment plan begins with comprehensive vestibular assessments including videonystagmography (VNG), computerized balance testing, and specialized vestibular function evaluations.

Whether you need treatment for BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, post-concussion balance dysfunction, or chronic dizziness conditions, our advanced neurological expertise and vestibular rehab protocols work seamlessly with any other treatments you’re receiving at our Lake Nona, Orlando clinic, maximizing your potential for complete recovery.

Our targeted interventions that work with your vestibular system’s natural healing processes to:

  • Restore normal balance function through canalith repositioning procedures
  • Reduce dizziness and vertigo through habituation therapy techniques
  • Improve gaze stability through specialized visual exercises
  • Retrain balance responses through progressive coordination exercises
  • Prevent falls through vestibular compensation training
  • Eliminate motion sensitivity through systematic desensitization
  • Enhance spatial orientation through proprioceptive retraining
  • Address post-concussion vestibular dysfunction through targeted protocols

Aquatic Physical Therapy

When traditional physical therapy feels too difficult or painful to perform for any length of time, recovery can take longer than necessary. Our advanced aquatic therapy program offers an effective alternative that harnesses the healing properties of water to accelerate recovery and restore function.

How Does Aquatic Therapy Help?

In our temperature-controlled therapeutic pools, water’s buoyancy provides high-resistance, low-impact exercise that reduces joint stress and inflammation while safely improving your balance, strength, and overall fitness. Aquatic therapy also decreases stress and promotes relaxation, making it particularly beneficial for patients with chronic pain or mobility limitations. Under the guidance of our specialized physical therapists in Orlando, aquatic therapy can:

  • Decrease pain and reduce inflammation
  • Speed up recovery time through enhanced circulation
  • Build muscle strength and endurance safely
  • Improve flexibility, mobility, and range of motion
  • Assist with gait retraining and walking pattern improvement
  • Improve balance and coordination without fall risk

Neurological Rehabilitation or Neuro Rehab

Our comprehensive neuro-rehab begins with advanced diagnostics including neuroimaging, neuroplasticity assessments, and objective function evaluations, then helps you reclaim your independence through personalized treatment protocols. Our expert physicians at our Lake Nona facility use this process to develop personalized physical therapy services that address the root neurological issues affecting your daily life, providing hope and measurable progress for complex conditions like:

01

Multiple Sclerosis Recovery and Management
An MS diagnosis affects everyone differently; some experience rapid progression while others face slower changes. Our individualized approach includes specialized infusion treatments and medication management, plus physical therapy services focused on MS-specific complications. We also provide movement retraining and neuroplasticity-based exercises, fatigue management strategies and energy conservation techniques, and coordination exercises designed to maintain independence.

02

Nerve and Muscle Disorder Rehabilitation
Conditions like peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and Myasthenia Gravis can leave you feeling uncertain about your body’s capabilities. Our specialized approach focuses on rebuilding strength, mobility, and endurance safely, advanced pain relief techniques and management strategies, adaptive treatment based on disease progression, intensive support during acute phases, and maintenance strategies during stable periods.

Movement disorders can make you feel like your body is no longer under your control. Whether dealing with Parkinson’s disease or other movement conditions, our Lake Nona physical therapy services include evidence-based techniques like LSVT BIG therapy, targeted stretching and flexibility programs, balance training and fall prevention strategies, strength building with neurological considerations, and functional movement retraining for daily activities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Physical Therapy & Vestibular Rehab

Is physical therapy just about exercises?2025-10-07T16:17:37-04:00

No, our approach is more comprehensive. Along with the physical interventions and exercises in your tailored program, we also provide thorough education. We make sure you understand your specific condition and exactly how physical therapy fits into your overall treatment plan to achieve the best possible results.

I have a nerve disorder. How can physical therapy help me?2025-10-07T16:16:57-04:00

For nerve and muscle disorders like peripheral neuropathy or a pinched nerve (radiculopathy), our physical therapy programs are vital for building strength, mobility, and endurance while relieving pain. We tailor the treatment based on the stage of your condition, focusing on exercises that help you manage symptoms and maintain function.

How do you treat specific neurological conditions like MS or Parkinson’s disease?2025-10-07T16:51:40-04:00

For neurological conditions, we treat patients on a case-by-case basis. For Multiple Sclerosis, therapies are designed to deal with your specific symptoms, which may include infusion treatments alongside physical therapy. For movement disorders like Parkinson’s, therapy focuses on improving function through stretching, balance work, and strength training to help you maintain independence.

What are some of the main benefits I can expect from physical therapy?2025-10-07T16:15:42-04:00

A customized physical therapy program offers a wide range of benefits depending on your condition. The primary goals are typically to reduce or eliminate pain and improve mobility. It can also help you recover from an injury or stroke, manage a chronic illness, improve balance to prevent falls, and in some cases, may even help you avoid the need for surgery.

What is the difference between regular physical therapy and neurological rehabilitation?2025-10-07T16:14:59-04:00

Neurological rehabilitation, or neuro rehab, is a specialized program for patients with nervous system diseases, injuries, or disorders, such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, or recovery from a stroke. While traditional PT often focuses on musculoskeletal recovery, neuro rehab is designed to restore function and improve the quality of life by maximizing a person’s ability to perform the tasks of everyday life.
