Balance Therapy Patient Story

Doris was an active senior, but her symptoms of dizziness had intensified slowly for several years. She had been through a battery of tests to determine the cause, but her doctors were stumped, and her condition had declined to the point where she could not get up stairs or walk straight.

Finally, her primary care physician suggested Brooks Balance Center. "I was nervous and not looking forward to therapy," Doris said.  "The staff at Brooks Balance Center took the time to make me feel relaxed. They made the experience enjoyable."

Brooks therapists quickly diagnosed the problem and prescribed a customized course of physical therapy that relieved her symptoms and gave her back her active lifestyle.  "It was hard work, but they made it fun," she said. "We laughed a lot and that helped me get through it."
