What Is Vestibular Rehabilitation?

Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physiotherapy focused on improving balance and reducing dizziness caused by disorders of the vestibular system, an essential component of your inner ear and brain. These issues can lead to symptoms like vertigo, unsteadiness, nausea, or difficulty focusing.

Using individualized therapy plans, our physiotherapists apply evidence based techniques, such as eye movement exercises, posture retraining, and balance-specific drills, to retrain the brain and address the root causes of your symptoms. Our non-invasive, hands-on approach offers a powerful path to recovery and a return to the activities you love.
