We aim to provide people with the efficacy and
benefits of CVRT in addressing vertigo
symptoms, offering individuals a path towards
improved balance and quality of life.
Standard dizziness therapies are ineffective in ⅔ of people.
StabilityLAB has developed a new AI driven technology to restore
balance function in dizziness caused by concussions, injuries, and
aging. Our solutions solve complexity challenges in stability and fall
prevention to enable mass adoption of data driven balance therapy.
Withdrawal from activities of daily living, exercise, and social interaction, which is common for those with deficits in postural stability, often leads to poorer physical health, cognitive decline, and emotional sequelae. Computerized vestibular retraining is associated with improved participant reported disability and objective measures of postural stability.

Based on the pattern of intake test results, a comprehensive and personalized multi-modal computerized vestibular retraining treatment plan (the DaVID Concussion Protocol) is delivered over twelve 40 minute sessions.
Written reports summarizing pre/post vertigo treatment objective metrics are provided for all products.
Objective measurement of inner ear/eye reflex coordination. vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR)
Gold standard objective measurement of inner ear balance function using warm and/or cool water irrigation, called Caloric Testing
Objective measurement of inner ear gravity sensor function
Objective measurement of inner ear gravity sensor function
Hearing test with middle ear pressure testing
Objective measurement of stability
Objective assessment of limits of stability before falling
Computerized Dynamic Posturography, an objective measure of global balance function
Analysis of CDP responses which can determine relative weighting of vision, joint position sense (somatosensory), and inner ear contributions to overall stability

Three questionnaires to evaluate:
Two tests to measure:
Your first training session.
These sessions are typically scheduled twice a week and involve the following
In your final visit you will complete your last training session and complete a final consultation with our doctor that includes:
Performing repetitive exercises during CVRT sessions may lead to fatigue, particularly in individuals who have limited stamina or other health conditions.
The nature of CVRT exercises, which involve visual and/or vestibular stimulation, can trigger symptoms of nausea or motion sickness in some individuals, which are typically mild and transient.
CVRT is a clinically proven treatment for:
You will be contacted by Dr. David’s office to book the initial assessment, and a staff member there will provide additional details about how to prepare and what to expect. As a rule, plan to wear comfortable clothing and comfortable (flat) shoes at each session.
Yes, CVRT has been clinically proven to reduce disability in 85% of all dizzy patients. Greater than 90% of moderate to severely imbalanced patients experienced improvement by 3-5x the clinically meaningful margin.
The number of treatment sessions for CVRT is 12, resulting in 2 sessions per week for 6 weeks.
Each treatment session typically lasts 40 to 45 minutes.
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.
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.
