Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to treat dizziness, vertigo, balance disorders, and other symptoms caused by problems in the inner ear or vestibular system. If you experience frequent dizziness, unsteadiness, or difficulty maintaining balance, vestibular rehabilitation can help retrain your brain and body to restore stability and improve your quality of life.

What Is the Vestibular System?

The vestibular system, located in the inner ear, plays a crucial role in maintaining balance, spatial orientation, and coordination between your eyes and head movements. When this system is affected by injury, illness, or age-related changes, it can cause symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, blurred vision, and balance problems.

Vestibular rehabilitation uses targeted exercises and therapy techniques to help the brain compensate for these changes and restore normal balance function.

  • Persistent dizziness or lightheadedness
