Lisa Martinez
Registered Physiotherapist
I enjoy the challenge of providing treatment for clients who are suffering from issues related to the vestibular system which is located in the inner ear.
Symptoms can be described as dizziness, light-headedness, feeling off-
balance or feeling like a “bobble-head.” Many of these clients have not been
able to find relief and have been suffering for years. Effective treatment of
these symptoms is based on my knowledge of the neurological system along
with vestibular rehabilitation treatment and once treated effectively, quality of
life improves significantly.
