Understanding Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is a form of physiotherapy designed to address vestibular disorders, which affect the inner ear and its connection to the brain. Our comprehensive program includes manual head maneuvers and a progressive exercise regimen aimed at reducing symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, visual disturbances, and imbalance.
How Does the Vestibular System Work?
The vestibular system plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and spatial orientation. It consists of the inner ear organs, vestibular centers in the brain, and peripheral vestibular nervous systems. These components work together to detect head position and motion, allowing us to respond to changes in our environment.
Conditions Treated by Vestibular Therapy
Our Vestibular Rehabilitation Program is tailored to address various vestibular conditions, including:
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
Vestibular Neuritis/Labyrinthitis
Unilateral Vestibular Hypofunction
Vestibular Migraine

Mal de Debarquement (MdDS)

Neurological conditions (e.g., stroke, traumatic brain injury)
Deconditioning of the vestibular system due to aging or inactivity
Is Vestibular Rehabilitation Right for You?
If you’re experiencing symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, nausea, imbalance, or visual disturbances, vestibular rehabilitation may be beneficial for you. Our team will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan to address your unique needs.
What to Expect from Vestibular Rehabilitation
During your treatment, you’ll learn a variety of exercises aimed at improving balance, coordination, and spatial awareness. These exercises are designed to stimulate your vestibular system and promote central-brain compensation, helping you regain your equilibrium and reduce symptoms over time.
