Vestibular therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy aimed at treating dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders caused by dysfunction in the vestibular system. Our physical therapists use a combination of exercises and manual techniques to help patients retrain their brains to process balance signals more effectively.
Through guided head movements, gaze stabilization exercises, and balance training, vestibular rehabilitation can help reduce dizziness and improve coordination, allowing you to regain independence and confidence in daily activities.
Vestibular therapy may be particularly beneficial for people experiencing benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Ménière’s disease, vestibular neuritis, or post-concussion symptoms.
Your therapist tailors vestibular rehabilitation to your specific needs, with the goal of reducing symptoms and improving stability.
Controlled exposure to dizziness-inducing motions can help desensitize the vestibular system over time.
Gaze stabilization and targeted movement activities work to enhance the brain’s ability to compensate for vestibular dysfunction.
Training can teach you to use other sensory inputs, including vision and proprioception, to maintain balance and improve mobility.
By addressing the root cause of vestibular issues, physical therapy can significantly improve quality of life. A customized program focuses on reducing dizziness, improving stability and coordination, enhancing mobility, and reducing the risk of falls.
