Vestibular Rehabilitation Program
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy for people who experience dizziness, vertigo or balance problems. It uses targeted exercise and balance training to help you feel steadier in daily life.
What is vestibular rehabilitation?
Your vestibular system, located in the inner ear and brain, helps you keep your balance, know where your body is in space, and coordinate movement. When this system is disrupted by injury, illness or age-related changes, it can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, vertigo (a spinning sensation), unsteadiness and falls.
