What is Vestibular Rehabilitation?
Vestibular rehabilitation is a physiotherapy treatment program that uses an exercise-based approach to retrain balance.
This therapy addresses:
- Positions or movements that cause dizziness.
- Balance deficits that interfere with daily activities like dressing, bathing, walking, driving, or shopping.
- Visual function, focusing on eye-head coordination required for tasks such as reading, driving, or walking.
Your Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy program includes:
- Exercises to reduce or stop dizziness symptoms.
- Advanced balance and gait retraining.
- Compensatory techniques to manage dizziness and imbalance during daily activities.
- Specific vestibular exercises.
- Supervised therapy sessions to monitor progress and challenge your vestibular, visual, and balance systems.
- Repositioning maneuvers for BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), a condition caused by crystals in the inner ear.
Who will benefit from vestibular rehabilitation?
The vestibular rehabilitation program is designed to treat various conditions, including:
- Labyrinthitis: Inflammation of the labyrinth in the inner ear.
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Caused by free-floating calcium particles in the semicircular canals, leading to vertigo or spinning sensations with head movements.
- Vestibular Hydrops or Meniere’s Disease: A fluid imbalance in the inner ear causing symptoms such as ringing in the ears, fluctuating hearing loss, spinning, and balance issues.
- Central Vertigo: Resulting from damage to the central nervous system due to a stroke or head injury, affecting the vestibular system and causing dizziness or balance problems.
