Dr. Morgan Kriz is a Physical Therapist, specializing in Vestibular Rehabilitation. She founded Vestibular Therapy Specialists in 2017 with the vision to offer quality vestibular therapy and give patients with vestibular conditions the attention and care they deserve, both in the clinic and through telehealth services, if in-person specialized care isn't accessible.

The clinics are located in Bend, OR (where Kriz resides) and Seattle, WA. She understands the physiological and psychological impact vertigo and imbalance can have on individuals and strives to empower her patients with the knowledge and techniques to manage their conditions. Her passion for vestibular care is supported by evidence-based programs, including Vertigenius™.

Through a comprehensive evaluation and customized treatment, these care plans help the brain compensate and adapt not only through exercise, but also through lifestyle modifications that optimize the brain and balance system to strengthen and heal, ensuring a well-balanced approach to care. She offers specialized care with conditions including: Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo (BPPV); Cervicogenic Dizziness (dizziness from the neck); General imbalance or deconditioning; Mal De Debarquement (MdDS); Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (3PD); Post-concussion syndrome; Pre and post operative Vestibular/Acoustic Neuroma removal procedures; Unilateral or bilateral vestibular dysfunction (acute or chronic); Vestibular Migraines (VM).
