Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a form of physical therapy focused on improving balance and reducing dizziness-related symptoms. It’s particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with conditions like vertigo, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, or Meniere’s disease. VRT involves exercises that retrain your brain to understand and respond to signals from your inner ear, eyes, and joints, helping you regain stability and reduce dizziness.

How Does Vestibular Rehabilitation Work?

The program begins with a thorough assessment to identify the root cause of your dizziness or balance issues. Based on this evaluation, our skilled therapists at Fit and Fine Rehab will design a customized exercise program tailored to your specific needs. The exercises may include:

• Balance Training: These exercises improve your body’s ability to stay stable while standing, walking, or changing positions.
• Gaze Stabilization: By focusing on specific visual targets, this training helps reduce dizziness when moving your head or body.
• Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers: For patients with BPPV, specialized maneuvers help move displaced crystals in the inner ear back to their correct location, alleviating vertigo symptoms.

These exercises may seem simple but are highly effective in recalibrating your vestibular system, improving coordination, and restoring your sense of balance.

Who Can Benefit from Vestibular Rehabilitation?

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, vestibular rehabilitation could be the right solution for you:

• Chronic Dizziness or Vertigo: If dizziness or vertigo is disrupting your daily life, VRT can help reduce these symptoms by training your brain to compensate for vestibular deficits.
• Frequent Falls or Unsteadiness: Individuals who feel unstable when walking or standing can benefit from targeted balance training to improve coordination and prevent falls.
• Motion Sensitivity: If certain movements or head positions trigger dizziness or nausea, VRT can help desensitize your system to these triggers over time.
