Meet Your Therapist
Rachel Gulvin, PT, DPT
Welcome! My name is Rachel Gulvin. I’m a licensed physical therapist who is passionate about working with people with vestibular and neurological disorders, particularly those with dizziness, Parkinson’s Disease, and balance disorders. I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Ithaca College in 2013. Over the years, I’ve completed extensive training, continuing education, and worked in several outpatient and hospital-based settings including the world-renowned Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago, where I’ve gained invaluable experience working with these populations. In addition to ongoing continuing education courses, I've also received mentorship on vestibular rehabilitation, Functional Neurological Disorders, dystonia, movement disorders (like Parkinson's Disease), and concussion from the wonderful team at Re+Active Physical Therapy through their “Brain Bytes” program, the NeuroCollaborative mentorship program, as well as from Natasha Wilch through the “Concussion Nerds” program -- and I'm ready to share this experience with you!
I founded Bloom Physical Therapy in 2023 to serve people with vestibular or neurological disorders who are looking to regain function, return to meaningful activities, or rediscover joy in movement.
Bloom Physical Therapy currently offers outpatient mobile physical therapy services to those in the Rochester, NY area and telehealth services throughout New York State.
I can’t wait to work with you!
Why Choose Bloom Physical Therapy?
Mobile Therapy
Bloom Physical Therapy offers mobile outpatient physical therapy, which means that we come to you. You do NOT need to be home-bound to qualify for our services.
You no longer need to worry about driving in inclement weather, driving while dizzy or light-headed, or finding a ride to and from appointments.
Since sessions occur in the comfort of your own home, you also don't need to worry about privacy or busy/ bright/ loud clinics, and treatments can be more functional to better meet your unique goals.
One-on-One Attention
At Bloom, all physical therapy sessions are always one-on-one, and usually last for 60 minutes, which can be modified to meet your needs.
You won't be left alone to complete a cookie cutter program while your therapist assists other clients.
One-on-one care means that your treatment can be individualized to you, and your program can be updated, modified, or progressed when you need.
Specialized Care
Bloom Physical Therapy is NOT a general physical therapy clinic. We exclusively treat vestibular and neurological conditions.
Your therapist has years of experience working with vestibular and neurological disorders. She has worked at one of the top neurological rehab hospitals in the world, The Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, and has completed extensive training and continuing education in these areas.
Your therapist will also bring specialized vestibular-specific equipment to your appointments, such as infrared video-oculography goggles, to provide the best care possible.
