What Is Vestibular Therapy?
Vestibular therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on treating conditions that affect balance and the inner ear.
Your vestibular system helps your brain understand your body’s position and movement. When this system is disrupted—due to injury, illness, or aging—it can cause symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, or unsteadiness.
Vestibular therapy helps retrain your brain and body through specific movements and exercises that improve balance, coordination, and stability.
Symptoms Vestibular Therapy Can Help Treat
Vestibular disorders can affect people in many different ways. Physical therapy can help if you are experiencing:
- Dizziness or vertigo
- Frequent loss of balance
- Difficulty walking in crowded environments
- Sensitivity to motion or quick head movements
- Blurred vision with movement
- Nausea related to motion
- Feeling unsteady or lightheaded
These symptoms can make everyday activities challenging. Vestibular therapy focuses on restoring your sense of stability so you can move with confidence again.
Conditions Commonly Treated
Vestibular therapy may help treat a variety of conditions affecting balance and the inner ear, including:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
- Vestibular neuritis
- Labyrinthitis
- Post-concussion dizziness
- Balance disorders related to aging
- Motion sensitivity
- Persistent dizziness after illness or injury
Our therapists carefully evaluate your symptoms to determine the underlying cause and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
