@ray666 I am thinking the word Vestibular therapy might help you with your search. I do understand it is not a top down problem🙂 but training your brain to compensate for the lack of balance is just as key as the physical part.
I went to what I call brain school - vestibular therapy— at Emory. A teaching hospital. I know in another town I lived in there was a Balance rehab facility which also taught this specialty
I wish you good digging for right therapist.
I learned long ago interview my therapist and I do not use the same one- just because I like them - or they’re five minutes down the road.

Hi, Debbie (@debbieod)

At least I know I'll be able to continue with my current therapist. What I feared most was losing PT entirely. Like many of us, I tell myself, "Oh, I can do these exercises on my own. I've plenty of handouts. And YouTube has a gazillion tutorials." But I know myself too well. I know I need that all-important nudge of of either going to a PT clinic or having a therapist/coach come to my home – even if only once a week, it makes a world of difference.

Happy holidays!
