VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION
Get Fast Relief from Dizziness, Unsteadiness, Spinning Sensation, & Balance Problems
Feel Like Yourself Again with Vestibular Rehab.
Many people struggle with dizziness, unsteadiness, vertigo and balance problems. While there are numerous causes of these symptoms, a large percentage originates from a problem with the part of the inner ear and the brain that helps control balance and eye movements. This is known as the vestibular system.
If disease or injury damages this system, a vestibular disorder can result. Vestibular disorders are common and can affect people of all ages.
Quality Care, Fast Relief
Our Effective Treatment Approach.
Following a detailed medical history your vertigo physiotherapist in Victoria, BC may assess function in three major areas:
1. Eye and head movements
2. Balance and walking
3. The musculoskeletal system

- Balance retraining exercise
- Specific vestibular exercises
- Supervised therapy sessions to monitor progress and continually challenge the vestibular, visual and balance systems.
- Repositioning manoeuvre for B.P.P.V. (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) a condition where crystals are caught in the inner ear.

Following your assessment you can expect to be given an individualized home exercise program specific to your needs. Your progress will be monitored during your continued therapy but you can expect to see noticeable improvements as you progress.
