Dizziness and balance problems can feel frightening. The room spins, your steps feel unsure, or a wave of lightheadedness shows up when you bend over. You shouldn't have to pause the activities that matter while you try to figure out what's wrong.
Vestibular disorders come from trouble in the balance system — the inner ear, the brain's processing, and how your eyes, neck, and body work together. Symptoms range from brief spinning to ongoing unsteadiness. You don't need vague advice or 10-minute visits. You need focused assessment and a clear plan.
Dr. Sujaya Deodhar is trained in vestibular rehabilitation and will assess the root of your symptoms.
Common Symptoms
- Spinning sensation (vertigo) or room feels like it’s moving
- Lightheadedness or feeling faint
- Unsteady walking, frequent swaying, or fear of falling
- Worse symptoms with head movement, bending, or rolling in bed
- Nausea or motion sensitivity
- Trouble focusing or visual instability while moving
- Difficulty with stairs, crowded places, or low-light environments
Common Causes
- Inner ear problems (brief positional vertigo, inflammation of the vestibular nerve, or labyrinth issues)
- Vestibular migraine or migraine-related dizziness
- Head injury or concussion that affects balance pathways
- Neck joint or muscle dysfunction that disrupts sensory input
- Medication side effects or multi-sensory mismatch (eyes, inner ear, proprioception)
- Age-related changes in balance systems
How We Treat Dizziness Due to Vertigo
We focus on finding what makes your dizziness worse and fixing the underlying movement and strength issues. You get a thorough 60-minute evaluation with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, then a personalized plan. We keep you training where possible. No cookie-cutter sheets. No insurance wait. Just targeted rehab and a clear roadmap.
Comprehensive Vestibular Evaluation
60-minute 1:1 visit with Dr. Deodhar. We take a full history, observe your balance, eye movements, and how symptoms respond to position and motion. We identify the deficits that matter for your life and sport.
Immediate Symptom Management & Safety Plan
We teach safe strategies to reduce dizziness during daily tasks and workouts. Short, targeted maneuvers or adaptations can lower symptoms so you can keep training. We also review fall-risk and home safety.
3-Phase Bulletproof Roadmap
Phase 1: Calm & Normalize — reduce symptom triggers and restore reliable head/eye movement. Phase 2: Rebuild Strength & Balance — targeted strength, vestibular exercises, and sensory integration. Phase 3: Return & Bulletproof — sport-specific progressions so you can return to trail runs, deadlifts, dance, or pickleball without guessing.
Strength-Based Root-Cause Work
We don't just stop symptoms. We build the strength, control, and sensory integration your body needs to stay stable under load and fatigue. That lowers flare-ups when you ramp up activity.
Education & Self-Management
You get clear milestones, home exercises that fit your schedule, and strategies to modify rather than stop activity. We teach you how to prevent setbacks and when to seek medical review.
Coordination with Your Medical Team
If further medical evaluation is needed, we’ll recommend it and communicate with your provider. We do not diagnose medical conditions, but we do clinical vestibular assessments and guide next steps.
What to Expect
- 1First visit: a full 60-minute evaluation. We ask what triggers your symptoms, test balance and eye movement, and watch you move. We leave with a clear plan — no guessing.
- 2You’ll get immediate, usable strategies to reduce symptoms during daily life and exercise. We show how to modify workouts so you don’t have to stop everything.
- 3Ongoing visits are 60 minutes, 1:1 with Dr. Deodhar. Expect hands-on treatment, vestibular exercises, targeted strength work, and progress checks against your goals.
- 4We use the 3-Phase Bulletproof Roadmap to set short-term milestones. Each visit builds toward the next phase: symptom control, strength and balance, then sport-specific return.
- 5Homework is realistic. You’ll have exercises that fit your schedule and specific cues to use mid-run, on the trail, or between sets.
- 6We review progress regularly. If we see signs that need medical imaging or specialist input, we’ll recommend and coordinate that next step with your providers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is vestibular physical therapy different from regular PT?
Vestibular PT focuses on the balance system: eye-head coordination, inner ear positional issues, and sensory integration. We use specific tests and exercises for dizziness and balance, plus strength work so you can return to sport.
Will I have to stop running or strength training?
Usually not. Our approach is 'modify, don't stop.' We adapt training and use targeted exercises so you can keep progress while reducing flare-ups.
Can you diagnose the cause of my dizziness?
We perform a clinical vestibular assessment and identify movement-related causes we can treat. We do not provide medical diagnoses. If further medical evaluation or testing is recommended, we’ll guide you and coordinate with your provider.
How do I get started?
Personalized, one-to-one care with a clear roadmap for progress.
What if exercises make me feel worse?
Some exercises can increase symptoms briefly. We progress at a rate you can tolerate and teach strategies to manage short-term increases. If symptoms persist or worsen, we reassess and adjust the plan.
