The Heights studio serves a meaningful number of older adults along the Hastings corridor, and balance and fall-prevention programming is a regular part of the caseload here, alongside BPPV and post-concussion dizziness.

The first assessment usually runs 45 to 60 minutes to allow time for oculomotor testing, positional testing, and a balance screen. Follow-up visits are typically 30 to 45 minutes depending on what that particular session covers, and your therapist tells you what to expect ahead of time.

Yes, free on-site parking with no meters at Kensington Square, which is a genuinely practical detail for anyone travelling with active dizziness or balance concerns, removing one more thing to plan around on a day when balance is already the main concern for you and getting driven safely to the studio matters.
