What Is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy?
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to help people who experience dizziness,
vertigo, balance difficulties, gaze instability, or movement-related symptoms associated with vestibular dysfunction. Treatment is
based on an individual evaluation of balance, eye and head movement, walking, and functional mobility.
A personalized vestibular rehab program may use targeted exercises and movement strategies to help improve balance,
coordination, visual stability, and confidence with everyday movement.
A vestibular therapist evaluates how symptoms affect activities such as walking, turning, changing positions, navigating uneven
surfaces, or moving the head. The treatment plan is then adapted to the patient’s symptoms, abilities, and goals.
A Personalized Treatment Approach
Every patient experiences dizziness and balance problems differently. A vestibular rehabilitation therapist considers symptoms,
medical history, balance, gait, eye movements, head-motion tolerance, and functional limitations when developing an individualized
program.
Treatment may include gaze stabilization, balance exercises, habituation activities, gait training, positional techniques when
appropriate, and functional movement practice.
