Think your core is working? Let’s test it. 👀

Biofeedback training helps us see if the right muscles are actually activating during core exercises.

Why it matters:
🧠 Improves mind–muscle connection
💪 Activates deep core stabilizers
🦴 Supports the spine
⚡ Helps reduce low back pain

Sometimes the problem isn’t strength… it’s muscle activation and control.

Biofeedback helps train your core the right way.

Save this if you’re working on your core and tag someone who always says their core is strong 👇

It’s a powerful tool physical therapists use to help muscles relax and recover faster.

Feeling dizzy when you roll in bed, look up, or change positions? 😵‍💫
It might be BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo).

The Dix-Hallpike Test is a clinical test used by physical therapists to determine if vertigo is coming from the inner ear.

👂 Tiny crystals in your inner ear can shift out of place and trigger spinning sensations.
Good news? Vestibular physical therapy can help reposition them and relieve symptoms quickly.

If dizziness is affecting your daily life, don’t ignore it — there are treatments that work.

Save this video if you’ve ever experienced vertigo and share it with someone who gets dizzy when lying down or turning in bed.
