We find what sets it off.
Rolling over in bed should not set the room spinning. Dizziness has causes, and most of them respond to treatment. One evaluation with a licensed physical therapist tells you which one is yours.
What It Is
Vestibular therapy gets the room to hold still. It treats vertigo, dizziness, and the off-balance feeling that tags along behind them.
Your inner ear tells your brain where your head is in space. When that signal goes wrong, your brain reads it as spinning. In BPPV, the most common cause, tiny crystals inside the inner ear have drifted somewhere they do not belong.
Dr. Chelsey Eddy, a licensed physical therapist, tests which ear is involved and which position sets it off. From there it is guided head and body movements: repositioning what has drifted, then retraining your balance system to trust the signal again.
You have been the driver, the one at everybody else’s appointments. Which is exactly why your own dizziness has waited this long.
Tested, not guessed
What It Helps
Dizziness is not something you have to live with, and it is not just part of getting older.
What A Session Looks Like
Yes, the testing can make you dizzy for a moment. That is how we find it. You are seated or lying down, supported, and told before anything moves.

Why It Works
Dizziness rarely stops at dizziness. You move less, you get weaker, and then falling becomes the real risk.
Rolling over in bed without bracing.
Reaching a high shelf without grabbing.
Walking without scanning for a wall.
Getting in the car without a second thought.
Pairs Well With
Questions, Answered
It can, for a moment. Bringing the symptom on is how we find which ear and which position is responsible. You are seated or lying down, supported the whole time, and we tell you before anything moves. The spinning settles, and then we know what we are treating.
No. Connecticut Direct Access lets you see a physical therapist without a doctor’s referral. You can start now, rather than wait for permission. If you would rather loop your physician in, we are glad to. Call us at (475) 209-1606 and we will find you a time.
Yes. Dizziness that comes and goes is still dizziness that is changing how you move. Symptoms tied to a specific trigger are often easier to pin down, not harder. Bring the pattern with you: when it hits, and what you were doing right before.
We will not guess a number to make the answer sound better. Some causes of dizziness settle quickly. Others take steady work over a few weeks. What you get at the evaluation is a plan with an endpoint, and we tell you the moment that endpoint changes.
We check that for you before you start. The benefits check is free, and it tells you what your own plan covers before anything is booked. No guessing over the phone, no surprise on the first bill. If cost is the thing holding you back, say so and we will work with you.
