Details

At KMS Balance and Dizziness Rehabilitation, the focus is on YOU.  Krisi will listen to your story, assess your specific needs and impairments, and design a specific program that meets your life.  Initial evaluation is two hours long, and each follow-up session will be 90 minutes of one-on-one treatment time.  More attention means less trips to the clinic with efficient results.  The clinic is equipped with the VisualEyes™ 505 system which enables a greater understanding of evaluation and treatment. A high-end electric tilt table increases neck comfort while lying in positions to treat vertigo (BPPV).  Krisi received her Bachelors in Biology from Bucknell University in 1997 and Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Slippery Rock University in 2000.  She has more than 25 years experience with inpatient, outpatient, and home care neurological rehabilitation. Krisi's passion is helping people learn how to regain their equilibrium, retrain their brain for enhanced reaction time, and fall prevention.
