Knee pain is often due to sprains or tears of a ligament(s), cartilage tears, tendonitis, and arthritis. In comparison, hip pain is associated with similar injuries and the result of congenital malformations of the joint, fractures, or bursitis.

Patient Success Story
The vestibular system is a main contributor to physical balance. Located in the inner ear, the system senses motion when small hairs, called cilia, are moved by microscopic calcium crystals. When we sit, stand, move, or experience motions (such as in a car) the crystals move the hairs. The brain receives the signals from the hairs, along with information from the eyes and your sense of touch to interpret motion, equilibrium, and orientation in space. In order to understand how Vestibular Rehabilitation works and the underlying corrective mechanisms, it is important to remember that the primary role of the vestibular system is to tell the brain where the head is in space. Quite simply, the vestibular system is our internal reference telling the brain how our head is orientated - up, down, tilt, etc. The visual and somatosensory (touch, pressure, pain) systems, on the other hand, are external references, providing our brain with information about the movement and stability of the world around us. Working together and when the systems agree, it is the integration of these sensory modalities that provides us with normal equilibrium. How vestibular rehabilitation can help you? Vestibular Rehabilitation is a form of Balance Retraining Therapy. It has emerged over the past several years as an alternative treatment for patients with chronic non-resolved motion intolerance, visual sensitivity, and imbalance problems. At FYZICAL, we have a comprehensive balance program that includes assessment and evaluation programs, balance retraining, and vestibular rehabilitation. With balance retraining and vestibular rehabilitation, our goal is to improve balance function and visual motor control, increase general activity levels, and help your body compensate for inner ear disorders. We utilize a state-of-the-art balance machine and our balance therapy programs have a 99% balance improvement success rate.

“Over the last 16 visits, I have been able to walk without my knee brace and I can walk normally now!”
I had hurt my knee on my stairs and could not bear any weight on it. My doctor had sent me to Fyzical. Over the last 16 visits, I have been able to walk without my knee brace and I can walk normally now! It has been years since my knee has felt this good. All of the therapists here are amazing people and I will miss coming here.” — S.S.
