Steady Again:

Vestibular Therapy

When the room spins or your balance feels off, everyday movement becomes unnerving. Vestibular rehabilitation helps your body recalibrate, reducing dizziness and vertigo and rebuilding steady balance.

ABOUT THIS SERVICE

What Is Vestibular Therapy?

Vestibular rehabilitation is a set of specific physical therapy interventions for people with dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems. Depending on the cause, it can include canalith repositioning maneuvers, gaze-stabilization exercises, habituation exercises, and balance and gait training.

“Highest-quality people providing the most evidence-based medicine that produces the best outcomes and creates the best value.”

Aaron Kraai, PT, DPT, Founder & CEO, Doctors of Physical Therapy

BPPV Repositioning

For BPPV, we apply the maneuver that moves the displaced inner-ear crystals back where they belong.

Retrain The System

Gaze-stabilization and habituation exercises retrain how your eyes, inner ear, and body work together.

Rebuild Balance

Balance and gait training rebuild steadiness and confidence.

Proven Results

Research shows vestibular PT significantly improves dizziness, with added gains in balance and well-being.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Vertigo is a false sense of spinning; dizziness is a broader feeling of lightheadedness or unsteadiness. Vestibular therapy addresses both.

A common inner-ear condition causing brief dizziness with head-position changes; it’s often treated effectively with a repositioning maneuver.

It varies by cause. Some conditions like BPPV can respond quickly; others take a course of exercises.

If you have ongoing vertigo, dizziness, or unsteadiness, or balance problems after a concussion or illness, an evaluation can pinpoint the cause.

In most cases, no. Rules vary by plan and state.

Your first visit is a full evaluation, your therapist reviews your history, watches how you move, and builds a plan around your goals. In most states you can come directly, no referral needed.
