VESTIBULAR THERAPY…What's that?
The vestibular system is the part of the inner ear and the brain
that gives us the ability to maintain/control balance and eye
movements. A problem with anyone of these systems can result in
a vestibular disorder.
Common symptoms of Vestibular Disorders:
·
Dizziness ·
Unsteadiness/Imbalance
·
Vertigo ·
Nausea
Common Symptoms of Vestibular Disorders

What Happens During Vestibular Therapy?
The therapist will complete a thorough
evaluation looking at posture, balance, eye and body movements.
Based on results of the examination, a treatment plan will be
designed to include specific exercises and activities designed
to decrease symptoms and improve function.
How Will Therapy Help Me?
In most cases with consistent and correct
exercise you should feel steadier on your feet, and have reduced
symptoms of dizziness, vertigo, nausea, headaches and fatigue.
