Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy

What is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy

Do you often feel like you are unsteady or lightheaded? Are you in need of balance therapy because you often sway or tilt when you are standing still? If so, you might benefit from vestibular rehabilitation therapy. Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is a type of therapy that helps alleviate problems caused by vestibular disorders. This exercise-based program can help to improve balance and reduce problems related to dizziness. 

Every year, millions of people suffer from imbalance or dizziness. This can happen when they are standing still, lying down or changing positions. The feeling of dizziness or imbalance can last anywhere from seconds to hours. While these are typically not serious problems, often feeling dizzy or losing balance can be a sign of a mechanical problem. 

When you first see a physical therapist for vestibular rehabilitation therapy, the physical therapist will evaluate your symptoms and may assess your balance, the way you walk, your neck mobility and might even have you do some positional testing. Depending on your evaluation, the physical therapist will then create a care plan to help with any of the deficits you are experiencing. With vestibular rehabilitation therapy, you will be able to function in everyday activities, reduce the risk of falling and improve your quality of life.
