Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physiotherapy designed to address dizziness, balance disorders, and vertigo. Our experienced physiotherapists use targeted exercises and techniques to help you regain balance, reduce dizziness, and improve your overall quality of life. Vestibular rehabilitation aims to retrain your brain to compensate for inner ear dysfunction and other balance-related issues.

What is Vestibular Rehabilitation?

Vestibular rehabilitation involves a series of customized exercises and treatments that target the vestibular system, which includes parts of the inner ear and brain responsible for controlling balance and eye movements. This therapeutic approach is essential for individuals experiencing vertigo, dizziness, and balance disorders resulting from conditions such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, and Meniere’s disease.

Examples of Vestibular Rehabilitation Techniques:

• Balance Retraining Exercises: Specific exercises designed to improve stability and coordination, reducing the risk of falls.
• Gaze Stabilization Exercises: Techniques that help improve control of eye movements and reduce visual disturbances.
• Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers: Procedures such as the Epley maneuver to treat BPPV by moving displaced calcium crystals in the inner ear.
• Habituation Exercises: Exercises that help reduce the symptoms of dizziness by gradually exposing the patient to specific movements or positions.
• Postural Training: Techniques to improve posture and alignment, enhancing overall balance and reducing symptoms.
• Functional Training: Exercises that mimic daily activities to improve the ability to perform everyday tasks safely and efficiently.
