WHAT IS VESTIBULAR PHYSIOTHERAPY?

After an injury to the vestibular system occurs, the central nervous system begins to compensate for reduced function in the inner ear. This can lead to balance problems and vertigo. Vestibular therapy is an exercise-based treatment program that can improve balance and reduce problems related to dizziness or vertigo. This effective treatment has been shown to significantly decrease or eliminate problems related to balance and help patients resume regular activities.

A specific vestibular rehab program is to be completed by the patient at home. Peripheral vestibular dysfunction has been shown to respond well to progressive balance retraining, specific stretching, and strengthening techniques.

IS VESTIBULAR THERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU?

Vestibular therapy is best suited for patients diagnosed with dizziness, balance issues, vertigo, migraines, BPPV, or Meniere’s syndrome. Other candidates can include patients who have suffered strokes or brain injuries, or people who frequently fall.


Benefits of vestibular therapy include:

• Decreased dizziness symptoms

• Improved focus and concentration

• Improved neck mobility

• Decreased nausea

• Improved balance while standing or sitting

• Decrease risk of falling

• Increased confidence in day-to-day activities
