Meet Alison

Dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems can make even simple movements feel challenging.

Connect Physical Therapy offers specialized vestibular rehabilitation to help identify what’s contributing to your symptoms and create a treatment plan focused on improving balance, reducing dizziness, and helping you feel more confident on your feet.

Vestibular rehab refers to the treatment of inner ear. Connect Physical Therapy specializes in treatment of positional vertigo (crystals in the inner ear), post-concussion symptoms, dizziness, and imbalance.

Every appointment is one-on-one with Alison. You are not handed to an aide partway through, and you are not treated alongside three other patients.

I first saw Alison in 2021 after many months of hip/glute pain. My chiropractor had suggested dry needling, so it was in the front of my mind when I stopped at Alison’s booth during the Fargo Marathon. She was so kind & I connected with her immediately. The fact that she was trained in dry needling made it a no brainer that I would be scheduling an appointment. Alison turned out to be a lifesaver & shortly after my first visit, my quality of life improved greatly. I was able to get back to the activities I enjoyed & sit in my car or office chair without pain. I have since called upon Alison to manage my shoulder & arm pain. Same great service, same great outcome. The depth of Alison’s knowledge base is vast. Alison confidently & effectively prescribes exercises, painlessly & accurately administers dry needling to compliment the exercises, & offers suggestions on proper body mechanics when appropriate. I have been more than happy to suggest Alison to my friends looking for a physical therapist!

That depends on what is contributing to your symptoms and what you want to get back to. Alison will give you an estimate after the first evaluation. Draft answer, requires review.
Pain isn’t always the best predictor of how your body is functioning during your everyday activities. You may have stiffness and lost of function that PT can identify and help you perform at your best no matter what your activity level is.
