Meet Tina Fortier, PT - Our Certified Vestibular Therapist!

Have you ever experienced dizziness or imbalance? Have you fallen over the past year? Are you participating less and less in activities due to acute or chronic pain in your spine or joints? Your problem is my passion! I am physical therapist with 38 years of experience treating spine and joint pain using a variety of approaches including McKenzie Mechanical diagnosis and treatment, Gary Gray’s functional transformation and pain neuroscience education.

I also have 21 years of experience as a certified vestibular specialist treating vertigo and concussions. I am certified in 4 levels of vestibular training and have earned a diploma in the online international vestibular diploma program in February 2021.

After 38 years of treating people, I am still humbled by God’s design of the human body and excited to help each person achieve their functional goals.

Providence Physical Therapy is a local, family-owned practice in beautiful Surf City, NC. It is the result of prayerful consideration of how we could best use our God-given talent and resources to love and serve others in the community. David learned the value and positive impact of such a clinic while working at two excellent family-owned practices in Pittsburgh, PA and Winston-Salem, NC. In a health care environment characterized by rising costs and declining quality, Providence Physical Therapy stands apart in restoring value and excellence.
