Muscle loss can lead to significant pain and disability in the joints, impacting overall bone health. Regaining strength is challenging because it requires loading the joints, which can exacerbate muscle joint pain. However, with the use of BFR (Blood Flow Restriction) in physical therapy, we can reduce the load on the joints while still achieving improved strength. This approach is particularly beneficial for post-operative rehab and aligns well with strategies used in triathlon coaching, where maintaining strength while minimizing injury risk is crucial.

Vestibular Treatment
Infrared Goggles
What Are Infrared Goggles in Vestibular Physical Therapy?
Infrared goggles are special devices used in physical therapy that help your therapist see exactly how your eyes move when you’re experiencing dizziness or off-balance sensations. They resemble large ski goggles but contain tiny infrared cameras inside.
Why Are They Used?
When someone suffers from a vestibular (inner ear) problem, their eyes often exhibit small, rapid movements known as nystagmus. These movements can be challenging to detect under normal lighting conditions. The goggles assist by:
- Making the room dark, preventing you from using your vision to stabilize yourself.
- Illuminating your eyes with infrared light (which is invisible to you) so the therapist can monitor your eye movements on a screen.
- Clearly displaying your eye movements, enabling the therapist to determine which aspect of your balance system is malfunctioning.
How Do They Help with Diagnosis and Treatment?
These goggles are crucial for therapists in identifying specific inner ear issues, such as BPPV (where crystals are out of place) or other vestibular disorders. They also play a role in assessing bone health, as balance issues can be linked to musculoskeletal problems, including muscle joint pain. Once the therapist observes your eye movements, they can pinpoint the necessary treatment maneuver or exercise, which may even include techniques like dry needling. Essentially, they provide the therapist with a “zoomed-in,” super-clear view of what your eyes are doing when your inner ear sends confusing signals.
Easy Way to Think About It
It’s like night-vision goggles for your eyes; however, instead of aiding you in seeing in the dark, they enable the therapist to observe your eye movements in detail, allowing them to assist you in overcoming dizziness and enhancing your physical therapy outcomes, which is particularly beneficial for those involved in activities like triathlon coaching.
