The DaVID Protocol promotes balance and stability for life.
Dizziness and Vestibular Injury Drills (DaVID) form the key ingredients in our clinically validated approach to training for stability. The DaVID protocol considers stability in a revolutionary way: as a dynamic challenge for which individuals can be trained in order to efficiently and safely transmit forces. Traditional physical therapy typically involves static situations with solid platforms and none, or slowly moving, congruous visual surrounds. These static conditions, however, don’t match our normal day to day lives.
Anyone who has stepped off a curb in traffic knows that movement under foot, unstable or irregular surfaces, and multiple streams of sensory stimulation characterize our active lifestyles. Static balance function often improves quickly. But a majority of individuals continue to experience disabling imbalance even after traditional therapy. Their balance function in dynamic daily settings, with head movements and conflicting sensory information, has not.
By scientifically guiding the movement of a controlled underfoot platform, and introducing visual information in a stepwise and gradual approach, the DaVID protocol uses both congruent and incongruent sensory information to physiologically drive vestibular neuroplasticity.Â
Stability is essential for any kind of movement. It is the foundation on which both cardiovascular fitness and strength are built. But most people don’t make the time to integrate stability training into their lives. StabilityLAB techniques are scientifically designed to train the brain-body axis that drives stability, mobility and strength.
StabilityLAB offers diagnostic and treatment services for vertigo, dizziness, instability and falls. We use the most accurate analytical machine to assess stability in the country. StabilityLAB leverages this new technology with a new clinically proven automated treatment called the Dizziness and Vestibular Injury Drills Protocol, also known as the DaVID Protocol.
The proprietary treatment protocols have been peer reviewed and published. The protocols are used in the fields of vertigo, concussion, falls, dementia, and longevity. The products have been rigorously tested and proven to be significantly better than the current standards of care. The data shows that there is no risk of getting worse.
