In all cases, it is important to call to verify this information with your insurance prior to starting treatment.

BODYQ is an integrated testing program addressing an individual's movement, function, general health, vision, hearing, balance, and recovery. Its primary function is to save you injury and damage down the road, providing comprehensive information on where you stand in terms of your total-body strength, balance, movement, and posture to help detect and prevent injury, illness, and even death. As genetic testing offers you the power of information about your inherent risk for disease, BODYQ® offers the power of information about your risk for injury, dysfunction, and falls. Fyzical Paoli is proud to offer this state-of-the-art diagnostic technology; visit our website or call for more information on BODYQ and our other physical therapy services.

First, we’ll evaluate your gait to determine potential problems with strength and posture. Simple movements to test balance are also part of the assessment. Together, these basic evaluations point us in the direction of what to focus on in terms of therapy. Hip and ankle weakness often leads to balance problems, as does poor posture. Strength and flexibility movements can help counteract these problems. These are often as simple as leg lifts while seated in a chair, or “knee marching.” We may also practice standing on one leg, walking heel-to-toe, or tracking the movement of your thumb with your eyes as you move it in various positions. Visit our website or call our office for more information on the physical therapy programs and therapies we offer for balance disorders.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a condition that affects the autonomic nervous system and sympathetic nervous system resulting in abnormal blood flow and orthostatic intolerance. Your autonomic nervous system oversees running automatic body functions such as breathing, heart beating, and digestion. Your sympathetic nervous system manages an individual’s fight or flight response. When these systems start working abnormally, your body cannot regulate functions, such as your heart rate, appropriately. The result for individuals with POTS is a large spike in heart rate with changes of position - either laying down to standing, sitting to standing – and additional symptoms that go along with this orthostatic intolerance. Common symptoms can include blurred vision, trouble concentrating, sleep problems, and dizziness.
