From Dr. Attilio Pensavalle
I am a doctor of physical therapy, New York State licensed since 1980. I have basic and advanced clinical training, both in orthopedics/musculoskeletal disorders [shoulder/knee & neck/back], in addition to advanced certification in neurovestibular care, balance rehabilitation and fall risk management.
The key difference between the two is that today's advanced balance assessment and recovery is dependent on neuroadaptive technology. Orthopedic/musculoskeletal care - though detailed and challenging, depends on hands-on, nuts and bolts care - reduce pain & swelling, promote tissue healing and restore joint mobility and muscle strength. Conversely, vestibular/balance recovery is dependent on today's advanced equilibrium assessment and neuroadaptive balance retraining technologies.

Why Choose FYZICAL Lake Success?
FYZICAL Lake Success is a DEDICATED BALANCE RECOVERY CENTER. The ONLY dedicated center on Long Island [yes, we checked] with the unique, exclusive and extensive array of advanced balance and vestibular skills and technology necessary to effectively care for your dizziness, balance impairment and fall risk. We are here to accelerate your recovery.
Let me be clear. FYZICAL Therapy and Balance at Lake Success is a DEDICATED BALANCE/EQUILIBRIUM RECOVERY CENTER. We focus EXCLUSIVELY on balance/equilibrium/dizziness & fall risk cases. A DPT [Doctor of Physical Therapy], I have been NYS licensed since 1980, focused on orthopedic and sports related cases since then; see my bio. The reason my clinical focus grew to include [and now is exclusive to] balance/equilibrium cases is because many of the orthopedic cases I have treated over the years came as a result of loss of balance related injuries resulting in falls and highly consequential injuries such as fractures requiring extended care.
Let’s fight the fall together!
Dizziness and dysequilibrium with propensity to falling is no joke. I have seen this over my 45 years in practice [since 1980] and also see this on a regular basis when I am not at work. For those who of you who don't know, I am a volunteer firefighter & EMT in my local community in Huntington. At 2:00 a.m. any day, I could get a call for a victim of a fall. It is not pretty; never cinematic. The fall can be in the bathroom or the bottom of the staircase; anywhere, anytime. These can result in something as simple as a basic bruise or muscle strain or much more consequential such as fractures or crippling injuries etc. Let’s fight the fall.
