Understanding Visual Therapy

Visual therapy, also known as vision therapy or orthoptics, uses specialized exercises to improve visual processing, eye coordination, and the visual-motor connection.

Conditions treated with visual therapy:

• Balance and coordination problems
• Dizziness and vertigo
• Post-concussion symptoms
• Eye movement disorders
• Visual processing difficulties
• Reading and learning challenges
• Sports performance enhancement

Our therapists assess the visual-motor connection and create targeted treatment plans.
At Tonic Physio Milton, we address the visual component of movement and balance. Our visual therapy program helps you see and move with confidence.

How Visual Therapy Works

Visual therapy uses progressive exercises to retrain your visual system and improve the brain-eye-body connection.

Our program includes:

Visual Assessment: Evaluating eye tracking, focusing, coordination, and visual processing.
Visual Exercises: Targeted activities to improve eye movement control and visual-motor integration.
Balance Training: Exercises that integrate visual input with balance and coordination.
Home Program: Providing exercises to practice between sessions for faster improvement.

We progress exercises as your visual skills improve.
If you are looking for visual therapy in Milton, Tonic Physio provides specialized care with direct billing to most insurance providers.
