Vestibular Therapy
Discover Balance and Stability with Vestibular Therapy by restoring your equilibrium and improving your quality of life through personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.
What is Vestibular Therapy?
Vestibular therapy, also known as vestibular rehabilitation, is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to address disorders of the vestibular system – the sensory organs in the inner ear that contribute to balance and spatial orientation. These disorders can result in symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, and visual disturbances.
How Does Vestibular Therapy Work?
During a vestibular therapy session, our skilled therapists will conduct a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your symptoms and identify the underlying causes of your vestibular dysfunction. Based on this assessment, they will develop a customized treatment plan incorporating a variety of exercises and techniques aimed at improving balance, reducing dizziness, and enhancing overall function.
Key Components of Vestibular Therapy
1- Balance Training
Exercises focused on improving postural control, stability, and coordination to reduce the risk of falls and improve confidence in daily activities.
2- Gaze Stabilization Exercises
Techniques to enhance your ability to maintain focus on objects while moving your head, reducing symptoms of dizziness and visual disturbances.
3- Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers
Specific maneuvers designed to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) by repositioning displaced crystals within the inner ear to alleviate vertigo symptoms.
4- Habituation Exercises
Activities that gradually expose you to movements or situations that provoke dizziness, helping to desensitize your vestibular system and reduce symptoms over time.
5- Education and Lifestyle Modifications
Comprehensive education on vestibular anatomy and function, along with strategies to manage symptoms and optimize your environment for better balance and safety.
