Vertigo that “keeps coming back” is often misunderstood.

Vertigo, by definition, is the false sensation that you or your surroundings are moving or spinning caused by inner ear or brain issues.

Vertigo is a symptom, not a diagnosis. So it’s important to identify the root cause, otherwise you’re just managing the surface.

One of the most common causes of recurring vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) - a mechanical issue in your inner ear where tiny crystals get out of place and trigger spinning with certain movements.

Medication or “waiting it out” doesn’t fix a mechanical problem such as BPPV. But specific repositioning maneuvers performed by a skilled vestibular therapist can!

Also, avoiding movement doesn’t retrain your system.
It’s setting your body up to become hyper-vigilant.
Your brain needs the right kind of input and exposure to reset this.

So what actually helps?
• A proper vestibular evaluation
• Identifying the true cause
• Targeted repositioning or exercises
• Gradual return to movement

If your dizziness keeps coming back, or you’ve been told “everything is normal” but you still don’t feel right… that’s your sign.

In honor of National Poetry Month, VeDA is proud to host our annual Poetry-4-Balance contest. 📝💫

Living with a vestibular disorder can be difficult to explain. Through metaphor, rhythm, and emotion, poetry helps bring words to experiences like spinning, imbalance, and disconnection from the world. It gives voice to what so many people feel but struggle to describe.

For many in our community, writing can be a powerful way to process symptoms, feel seen, and share their story with others who understand. 💙

A committee of people living with vestibular conditions will review each entry and vote for their favorites.

🏆 The top 3–4 poets will receive a gift card to VeDA’s Gift Shop and may be featured on VeDA’s website, social media, and magazine.

🗓 Submissions are open all April.
✍️ Share your voice and submit your poem below.

As a provider, it’s important to me that I give my clients AUTONOMY. However, I’m finding that all they truly want is peace. They want to trust that you (as a licensed clinician) will do the right thing with their best interest at heart. They expect that you are the expert and that you have all the answers.

This is where knowing your client comes in handy… motivational interviewing might not work for someone saying “I’ll do whatever you say”… But telling them exactly what to do and sharing the reasoning on WHY might work better.

So make sure you’re doing everything that you believe to be correct or point them in the direction to someone else who can… because they’re relying on it.

And if you’re a potential client reading this… just know that YOU do have a say in your care, and it is 100% okay to screen your providers.

I make it my mission to provide the best care, education, and environment for you. BUT I will refer you out to someone else if that’s truly what’s best for you.

Where you live truly matters. It impacts your health & well-being, your resources, your connections, and your community.

I mention health and well-being because your access to healthcare including qualified, well-intentioned health professionals matter. But ask yourself… Do qualifications outweigh integrity/morals?

Having someone who is committed to lifelong learning and makes it clear that they don’t “know it all” but is willing to do what it takes to grow AND/OR point you in the right direction, is always better than the contrary.

I don’t want Steady Steps PT to be a “cutesy” business… I want it to be sustainable with a great reputation. Known for being culturally competent, equitable, and always advocating for, and educating the dizzy population… oh and free of biases because we’ve checked ourselves at the door.

Sometimes you’re forced to support businesses because you have no other option. Sometimes you just don’t know any better. And sometimes, you know exactly what’s happening… you just don’t have an alternative yet.

I’ve sat in rooms where I clearly wasn’t the “type” they had in mind… and I kept showing up anyway. That feeling? My clients shouldn’t have to carry it into a healthcare setting. I’m building that alternative.

Steady Steps PT is for the people who’ve been overlooked, under-treated, and underestimated. The ones who walked into spaces and wondered if they even belonged there. They do.

Because access without inclusion isn’t really access at all.

What you need to know during awareness month is that brain injury recovery takes time, sometimes a lot of time, be patient and try to understand, it is no act...

The expertise of your physical therapist matters, especially when it comes to treating complex vestibular disorders! If you’ve have vestibular rehab in the past, and it was unsuccessful… they could’ve gotten your diagnosis wrong from the very beginning! 😞

Here are a few things I check almost consistently, and the list is sometimes longer depending on our initial conversation. If your physical therapist isn’t doing any of these, please save yourself the time and find a more skilled one.

Every client is unique, and everyone will have very different examination results, which will ultimately lead to very different treatment.

A more accurate diagnosis = better treatment = FASTER RECOVERY ❤️‍🩹
