Vestibular & Concussion Care
Dizziness, vertigo, and concussion symptoms can make normal movement feel unreliable. Our vestibular care in Franklin and Spring Hill, TN identifies what is driving the problem and builds a one-on-one plan to improve balance, gaze stability, neck mobility, and confidence.
Balance, vision, and movement
Vestibular therapy at Beyond Physical Therapy helps patients with dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, concussion symptoms, and neck-related dizziness. We look at the vestibular system, vision, cervical spine, balance, and exertion tolerance together so treatment matches the actual source of your symptoms.
This is not a generic sheet of balance exercises. It is one-on-one care with testing, symptom-guided progression, and a home plan that helps your brain and body trust movement again.

What we treat
Find your condition below to see how we approach it, from the source of pain to the plan that gets you moving again.
Reduced inner-ear function can cause imbalance, motion sensitivity, and difficulty keeping vision steady while moving. Treatment focuses on gaze stability, balance, and gradual exposure to movement.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo causes brief spinning sensations with head position changes. We assess the involved canal and use repositioning maneuvers when appropriate.
Dizziness can come from the vestibular system, neck, vision, medication changes, or multiple factors at once. We sort through the likely drivers and build a plan around what we find.
Persistent concussion symptoms may involve dizziness, headache, visual sensitivity, balance deficits, and exertion intolerance. Rehab progresses vestibular work, neck care, and activity tolerance.
Neck-related dizziness often shows up with stiffness, headache, and symptoms triggered by head movement. Treatment pairs cervical mobility and strength work with balance and gaze exercises.
How it works
The path from your first visit to discharge. We measure progress at every step and tell you straight what's working.
We start with a detailed history of dizziness triggers, concussion timeline, headache patterns, falls, neck symptoms, and what activities you are avoiding.
Your therapist assesses eye movement, gaze stability, balance, positional vertigo signs, neck mobility, and movement tolerance.
Depending on the cause, care may include canalith repositioning, gaze-stability training, balance work, cervical manual therapy, and graded movement exposure.
Vestibular rehab works best when the right exercises are repeated at the right dose. We give you a plan that is specific enough to help and paced enough to avoid flare-ups.
As symptoms improve, we progress walking, lifting, sport, screen tolerance, and exertion so your daily life feels reliable again.

No. Vertigo is one reason to come in, but vestibular therapy also helps dizziness, imbalance, motion sensitivity, post-concussion symptoms, and neck-related dizziness.
Yes. If your exam suggests BPPV, your therapist can use repositioning maneuvers to address the involved canal and then reassess your response.
Yes. We treat vestibular, cervical, balance, and exertion-related symptoms that can linger after concussion, and we coordinate with your physician when needed.
Mild symptom provocation can be part of vestibular rehab, but the dose matters. We keep symptoms within a manageable range and adjust the plan based on your response.
Many plans cover vestibular therapy as physical therapy. We verify benefits before your first appointment so there are no surprises.
