"FYZICAL… Spelled Different Because We Are Different" isn’t just a tag line. When it comes to treating your dizziness and imbalance, the physical therapists at FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers of Oklahoma City are leading the charge to helping you feel your best. Our PTs trained differently with state-of-the-art equipment to assess and treat your imbalance. We know balance, we know vestibular dysfunction, and we prepared to assess your Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo and underlying imbalance.
What makes FYZICAL Oklahoma City’s PTs different?
It starts with our National Director of Balance Development, Brian Werner, PT, MPT. Brian has spent his career honing in on why patients are imbalanced and how best to help them. Vestibulopathy is characterized by dizziness, imbalance, nausea, and vision issues.1 The FYZICAL Balance Paradigm was developed as a way for our PTs to do an efficient but thorough assessment of your vestibulopathy. Our Balance paradigm is the cornerstone of our vestibular rehabilitation program. It gets at the cause of your dizziness and imbalance, which allows our PTs to identify a solution. From there, our PTs tailor an individualized plan that focuses on your deficits to get you back to loving life.
When it comes to your individualized plan, it’s nice to think about in terms of something you do every day… Getting dressed. Most PTs treat vestibulopathy by throwing treatment at you randomly; they throw you clothes, but you might end up with no underwear and your socks over your shoes. FYZICAL OKC’s plan is a step-by-step precision plan, tailored to you. If you already have pants on, we’re not giving you another pair, but we’re also going to make sure you have socks on before you put shoes on. FYZICAL doesn't provide an off the rack solution, we custom fit your plan of care to your unique needs.
What State-of-the-Art Equipment do PTs have?
A good PT prides herself on a great patient experience; one that gets a patient out of pain and back to loving life. FYZICAL OKC is no different in this respect, but we have invested in patient evaluation and safety to make sure you walk away feeling great as soon as possible. When it comes to vestibulopathy, we have three pieces of equipment that help us ensure a positive outcome for you:
- Infrared Video-Oculography Goggles: These goggles allow us to pinpoint nystagmus to help clear any vestibular symptoms you may be having as a result of crystals breaking off in your inner ear. Clear the crystals the right way and your dizziness subsides; clear the crystals the wrong way and you might be spinning for a while.
- Computerized Dynamic Posturography: with the only CDP in a Physical Therapy Clinic in OKC, FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers is ready to assess and treat your imbalance with an immersive virtual reality experience.
- Safety Overhead System: Based on rock climbing equipment, our overhead harness allows us to give you back your confidence. It restores your trust in your strength and allows us to push you to make gains you never thought possible.
