What Is Vestibular Therapy?
Vestibular therapy, also known as vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT), is a customized form of physical therapy aimed at alleviating symptoms caused by inner ear and central nervous system disorders. These conditions disrupt balance, spatial orientation, and equilibrium—often resulting in dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, and unsteadiness.
At Hillcrest Physiotherapy, our therapists are trained to evaluate the complex vestibular system, accurately diagnose the root cause of symptoms, and create tailored treatment plans to reduce or eliminate them.
Who Can Benefit from Vestibular Therapy?
Many individuals are unaware that vestibular disorders are common and can affect people of all ages. Some of the conditions we treat include:
• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
• Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis
• Meniere’s Disease
• Post-Concussion Syndrome
• Chronic Dizziness or Imbalance
• Cervicogenic Dizziness
• Age-related Balance Decline
• Motion Sensitivity Disorders
If you experience spinning sensations, frequent falls, blurred vision when moving, or difficulty concentrating, vestibular therapy at Hillcrestphysio may be the answer you’ve been looking for.
