“10 weeks after experiencing a severe vertigo attack, my recovery had stalled and I was stuck in place. The noise in my head and constant disorientation was overwhelming and disrupted even the simple joys of interacting with my child. I felt half-intoxicated with any movement and feared DUI when driving. The despair that I may never mountain bike or hike again threatened my psyche daily. Bikram Yoga was helping a little, but it wasn’t enough and my appointment with the inner ear specialist at OHSU was still a month out. A friend recommended vestibular therapy at Rebound. Who knew this was a thing? Kimberlee put me at instant ease by running diagnostic tests that helped to identify what was going on inside my inner ear – vestibular neuritis. Most importantly, she expressed confidence that with my proper attention to her prescribed exercises, I would be whole again. Two weeks later I am balancing on pumpkins, running through the corn maze, and laughing again with my son. I am not yet whole, but I’m quickly on my way and quality of life has returned. Thanks Kimberlee and Rebound!”
