Balance therapy in Old Bridge.

Usually not, and it is rarely the first step. Imaging is good at showing structure and poor at explaining why you feel unsteady. Balance is a performance problem, so it has to be tested rather than photographed. We start with a hands-on evaluation of the inner ear, vision, strength and reflex timing. If your case needs a physician or imaging, we will say so plainly and help you get there.

Yes, because it is supervised and graded. You are one-on-one with your licensed therapist for the whole visit, every visit, never sent off to figure it out alone. We start at a level you can hold, then make it harder only once you have earned it. The point is to challenge your balance somewhere a wobble costs you nothing.

That depends on what the evaluation finds, and you will not be left guessing. Your plan runs through four phases: Pain, Prime, Perform and Prevent. You leave visit one knowing what yours looks like, and you always know which phase you are in and what is left. That is a plan with an endpoint, not an open tab of appointments. New Jersey has direct access, so no referral is needed to start. We are in network with most major plans including Medicare, and we verify your benefits before your first visit.
