Feeling dizzy, off-balance, or like you’re “floating” — even when everything checks out normal? It might be Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD).

🧠 What is PPPD?
A chronic dizziness condition where your brain gets “stuck” in a heightened balance-alert mode. It’s not dangerous—but it is frustrating.

🚩 Common signs:
• Ongoing dizziness for 3+ months
• Feels like rocking, swaying, or unsteadiness
• Worse when walking, moving, or in busy places (stores, crowds, screens)
• Better when lying down or staying still
• Often starts after vertigo, concussion, or stress/anxiety

💪 Good news: Physical Therapy can help!
With the right plan, you can:
✔️ Retrain your balance system
✔️ Reduce sensitivity to movement and visual environments
✔️ Build confidence with daily activities

Recovery is gradual—but very achievable with the right guidance.

If this sounds like you (or someone you know), don’t ignore it—there are effective ways to feel steady again.

Do you HATE migraines? We do. They are a disruption to daily living and quality of life. Physical therapy can be a non-pharmacological treatment and/or adjunct to help reduce the intensity and even frequency of migraine episodes. This is accomplished by addressing autonomic nervous system response to triggers (high fight/flight/freeze response), focusing on cervicogenic tension/postural control, working on vestibular deficits, and addressing other comorbidities that may increase migraine development. Reach out to our office if you’d like to learn about we can help you manage your migraine episodes.

Have you ever looked like 2018 Parker? Didn’t commit to a line and found yourself over the bars?

If so, you may be needing to replace your helmet. Frankly, you may need to look into replacing it anyways.

Helmets have a lifespan of 3-5 years but, if you crash, it is important to replace them. Yes, even after one crash.

The problem? Helmets can be expensive.

The Good News? There are resources to help you pick the helmet that is best for you!

Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings is a great, free, resource that provides unbiased helmet testing of head protection in all disciplines. They do the research for you so you can better choose how to protect your head.

If you have questions, come on in - we would love to talk with you about how to protect your head. And if you do sustain a concussion, let us help you get back to your life quickly and safely.

Also, if you do need to buy a new helmet, consider buying local to Pocatello! There are three great bike shops that would love to help you out.
