BENIGN POSITIONAL VERTIGO/VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION

Vestibular dysfunction means that something has altered the vestibular system and caused it to stop working properly, which can literally throw you off balance. Disease, aging, infection, and trauma are among things that can lead to a vestibular disorder. Vestibular rehabilitation is recommended to manage and treat vestibular disorders and can help to improve and maintain your ability to participate in daily activities.

The most common symptoms of vestibular disorders include vertigo, dizziness, and loss of balance.

In some cases, patients may also experience:

• Blurred vision
• Motion sensitivity
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Headaches

Vestibular rehabilitation is a form of therapy used to compensate, habituate or retrain the vestibular system and brain to reduce the symptoms of vestibular disorders, such as vertigo, dizziness, balance issues, and gaze instability. Symptoms become less frequent and less intense. Our Physiotherapists will assess your vestibular system function and recommend specific treatments and exercises (in-clinic and at-home) as part of a customized rehabilitation plan.
