About our practice

What makes us different

Convenience

Are you too dizzy to leave your home? Are you on a long waitlist to see a provider? Are you taking value time away from family, fun and work for appointments? Our CONVENIENT MOBILE practice makes your busy life easier by bringing therapy to you. We come to your preferred setting: the comfort of your home, workplace, or anywhere your symptoms are triggered. Balance Solutions Rehab is a cash-based practice servicing Santa Clara and neighboring cities.

Philosophy & Core Values

At Balance Solutions Rehab patients are treated with COMPASSION, CARE and a HOLISTIC approach. It is our top priority to develop a CONNECTION with our patients to create a trusting and supportive environment where they can thrive.

Customized & Collaborative

Because vestibular disorders can cause stress and anxiety, we emphasize EDUCATION on CUSTOMIZED tools that help your brain adapt and regulate your nervous system through neuroplasticity. We EMPOWER you how to manage your symptoms, improve your balance and confidence and be in control of your healing journey. We will assist you in finding other practitioners who can COLLABORATE as part of your healing team.

Meet Shana Townsend, PT

Certified Vestibular Therapist & Fall Prevention Specialist

Shana Townsend, the founder of Balance Solutions Rehab, believes in a holistic approach, focusing not only on physical, but also mental and emotional health. By combining traditional vestibular and balance exercises with relaxation techniques, breath work, mindfulness, and positive neuroplasticity, Shana’s patients have excellent outcomes and improved quality of life.

Shana received her Physical Therapy degree from California State University, Long Beach in 1995. She helped develop the vestibular program and co-taught a course: Introduction to Vestibular Rehabilitation: Evaluation and Management in Acute Care and Outpatient Settings to staff PTs and OTs in her hospital community. Shana's passion and journey has led to the inception of Balance Solutions Rehab.

In 2021, Shana received her Certificate of Completion for the Vestibular Rehabilitation Competency-Based Course, presented by Duke University and in 2023 became a Certified Fall Prevention Specialist (CFPS). Memberships include: American Physical Therapy Association, Vestibular Rehabilitation Special Interest Group and Vestibular Disorders Association.
