What Is Vestibular Rehabilitation?

Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physiotherapy for inner ear and balance disorders. We assess eye–head coordination, balance strategies and motion sensitivity to identify the main drivers of your dizziness.

Your plan can include canalith repositioning (for BPPV), gaze stabilization drills, habituation exercises and balance retraining. The goal: fewer spins, steadier walking, and more confidence in busy environments.

Common Conditions

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
  • Vestibular neuritis / labyrinthitis
  • Unilateral or bilateral hypofunction
  • Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD)
  • Motion sensitivity / visually induced dizziness
  • Post-concussion dizziness
  • Age-related balance decline & falls risk

Benefits You Can Expect

Practical improvements that matter day-to-day.

Less Vertigo

Targeted maneuvers and drills to reduce spinning and positional symptoms.

Steadier Vision

Gaze stabilization so words and objects stop “bouncing” when you move.

Better Balance

Progressive balance retraining for safer walking in the community.

Confidence & Control

Learn triggers and coping strategies to prevent flare-ups.

FAQs

Many BPPV cases settle significantly after one or two repositioning sessions. We’ll also teach you precautions and how to spot a recurrence early.

Some drills create brief, controlled symptoms to retrain your system. We dose them carefully so you improve without overwhelming flare-ups.

Yes. We address dizziness, visual motion sensitivity and balance deficits with a gradual, symptom-guided approach alongside your concussion care.

Not always. We screen for red flags and will refer you if needed. Otherwise, many people can begin safely with physiotherapy.
