The DaVID
Protocol

Stability, Mobility, Strength 

With our comprehensive computerized vestibular
retraining therapy, or CVRT, most people will
experience relief from instability, enhancing their
overall health.

Standard dizziness therapies are ineffective in 2/3 of people. Our treatment protocol to improve stability, CVRT, has been peer reviewed and published in JAMA.

Our solutions solve complexity challenges in stability and fall prevention to enable mass adoption of data driven balance therapy.

HOW DOES THIS HELP?

Treatment comprises twelve 45 minute sessions on a harnessed moving platform delivering multimodal biofeedback and VR guided personalized therapy.

The CVRT has been scientifically proven to reduce disability and improve balance function by driving neuroplasticity. This combination forms a skeleton key to unlock the next generation of personalized stability care and senescence therapy.

What is the DaVID Protocol?

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.
