Vestibular & balance rehabilitation
Vestibular & balance therapy for dizziness and falls
Dizziness and unsteadiness are treatable. Targeted therapy retrains your balance system so you can move with confidence — and lowers fall risk, which matters most as we age.
What is vestibular rehabilitation?
Vestibular rehabilitation is specialized therapy for dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems. Your therapist evaluates how your inner ear, eyes, and body work together, then guides exercises that retrain your balance system and reduce dizziness. It's widely used for conditions like BPPV and general unsteadiness, and it's a cornerstone of fall prevention for older adults.
What vestibular therapy helps
Vertigo & BPPV
The spinning of BPPV often responds quickly to specific repositioning techniques.
Dizziness & unsteadiness
Retrain the systems that keep you oriented so the world stops moving.
Balance problems
Rebuild steadiness and confidence on your feet.
Frequent falls or near-falls
Reduce fall risk with targeted strength and balance work — key for older adults.
Post-concussion dizziness
Address the lingering dizziness and visual symptoms that can follow a concussion.
Motion sensitivity
Desensitize the triggers that make busy or moving environments hard.
How vestibular therapy works
Careful evaluation
We assess your balance, eye movements, and what sets off your symptoms.
Repositioning maneuvers
For BPPV, specific head movements can resolve vertigo remarkably fast.
Gaze & balance retraining
Exercises retrain your eyes and body to work together again.
Progressive challenge
We gradually build difficulty as your balance improves.
