Breaking the Plateau: High Intensity Training After Chronic Stroke

Christina Garrity, PT, DPT, NCS

She's known as THE vestibular PT! And she's ready to help you become a dizziness-busting ambassador no matter where you're starting.  Her approach to teaching is accessible and fresh making every clinician feel empowered with patients experiencing dizziness and balance dysfunction.

Christina Garrity has been a practicing PT for over 10 years. She is a Board Certified Specialist in Neurologic Physical Therapy. Christina is a vestibular therapist who has completed Emory's Vestibular Rehabilitation Certification course and The University of Pittsburg advanced vestibular rehabilitation course. In 2022 she opened her own neurologic and vestibular therapy private practice, Labyrinth PT and Wellness in Ohio. She serves as adjunct faculty for multiple physical therapy programs in Ohio and is currently working on her PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences.

Christina's goal is to demystify vestibular therapy for all rehab professionals helping them to realize they do not need to be a vestibular expert or have high-tech equipment to make an impact on someone's balance and function.
