How Can Vestibular Therapy Help?

There are several different types of vestibular rehabilitation exercises, but they can generally be divided into three categories:

  • These exercises are designed to help the brain adapt to and tolerate movements that typically trigger vertigo or dizziness. The exercises may involve repetitive movements of the head, such as turning or tilting, or movements of the whole body, such as standing up or walking. The goal of habituation exercises is to reduce the sensitivity of the vestibular system to certain movements and stimuli.

  • These exercises are designed to improve the ability to maintain clear vision during head movements, which can be impaired in people with vestibular disorders. The exercises typically involve focusing on a stationary object while moving the head or body, which helps train the brain to keep the eyes steady despite movement.

  • These exercises are designed to improve balance and coordination, which can be affected by vestibular disorders. The exercises may involve standing on one leg, walking on uneven surfaces, or performing other activities that challenge balance and coordination. The goal of balance exercises is to improve the ability to maintain balance and prevent falls.

What Will My PT Do During Treatment?

During Treatment, your certified vestibular physical therapist will use specific maneuvers to diagnose exactly what is causing your dizziness and/or balance issues.

We will incorporate different exercises to gradually increase your tolerance using:

  • Laser light stability movements

  • Proprioceptive training

  • Gaze stability

  • Balance

  • Neck Strengthening and postural training

Through a series of specific movements your therapist will diagnose and treat the underlying cause of your symptoms and teach you exercises to prevent future exacerbations.
