Meet Dr. Hilary Register, PT, DPT, NCS

Board Certified Clinical Specialist in Neurologic Physical Therapy

Advanced Vestibular Physical Therapist

I created Register Physical Therapy to provide excellent, evidenced based, compassionate care to people in my local community. After working as a Vestibular Clinical Specialist and Senior Physical Therapist at various organizations, I began to understand that there was a gap between the help people are seeking and the time to get an appointment!

Over the years, I have developed a passion for vestibular rehabilitation and all things brain-related. This led me to develop skills in treating concussion, and eventually Functional Neurological Disorder. Through my work I began seeing more dizziness that was not related to the vestibular system alone, and sometimes involved hypermobility disorders and autonomic disorders. As I began to recognize the commonalities in these various conditions, I began to develop treatment programs beyond the traditional Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapies.

I am proud to provide neuro-vestibular rehabilitation services to the San Jose Sharks and San Jose Barracuda, work with the La Selva FND Track in Palo Alto, and to have received mentorship from leaders in the hEDS/HSD physical therapy space. In addition to clinical practice I teach Neurological Clinical Applications at Gurnick Academy in San Jose and have taught continuing education courses in Vestibular Rehabilitation in conjunction with the Kaiser Permanente Neurologic Residency Program.

Outside the clinic I enjoy spending time with family and friends, getting outdoors, and cooking.
