Vestibular Therapy
What Is Vestibular Therapy?
Vestibular therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on treating balance, dizziness, and vertigo problems caused by inner ear or neurological disorders. It involves exercises and techniques designed to improve balance, coordination, gaze stability, and spatial orientation. Vestibular therapy helps patients reduce symptoms like dizziness, unsteadiness, and motion sensitivity, supporting safer mobility and better overall function.
Vestibular Therapy for Healing
Vestibular therapy supports healing by targeting the inner ear and balance systems to improve stability and coordination. Through guided exercises and movement training, it helps retrain the brain to process signals from the eyes, inner ear, and muscles more effectively. This therapy reduces dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance, enhances spatial awareness, and restores confidence in movement, supporting faster recovery and safer participation in daily activities.
Stability, Balance, and Coordination
Vestibular therapy helps improve stability, balance, and coordination by retraining the body and brain to respond accurately to movement and spatial cues. Through targeted exercises and balance training, it strengthens postural control, reduces the risk of falls, and enhances overall body awareness. By improving these key functions, vestibular therapy supports safer mobility, restores confidence in movement, and aids in recovery from dizziness, vertigo, or balance-related conditions
Vestibular Therapy as Part of Physical Therapy
Vestibular therapy is often incorporated into physical therapy programs to help patients recover from dizziness, vertigo, balance issues, or inner ear disorders. By using specialized exercises and movement training, it improves stability, coordination, and spatial awareness. When combined with strength training, gait exercises, and other rehabilitation techniques, vestibular therapy enhances functional mobility, reduces fall risk, and supports patients in safely returning to daily activities.
