People experiencing:

• Vertigo or spinning sensations
• Unsteadiness or imbalance
• Motion sensitivity or nausea
• Falls or fear of falling
• Vestibular disorders such as:
  • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
  • Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis
  • Meniere’s disease
  • Post-concussion dizziness

Your physiotherapist will:

• Review your medical and symptom history
• Conduct balance and coordination tests
• Assess eye movements and vestibulo-ocular reflexes
• Evaluate posture and gait
• Identify the specific type and cause of your vestibular dysfunction

Treatment may include:

• Balance and gait training
• Eye movement and gaze stabilization exercises
• Canalith repositioning maneuvers for BPPV
• Strengthening and flexibility exercises
• Education on fall prevention and activity modifications
• Gradual exposure to motion and visual stimuli to reduce dizziness

Recovery varies based on the condition and severity. Many patients notice improvement within 4–6 weeks, while others may require longer-term therapy for persistent or complex vestibular disorders.

Yes. Vestibular rehabilitation is highly effective for managing post-concussion dizziness, imbalance, and motion sensitivity, helping patients safely return to daily activities and sports.

Side effects are usually mild and may include temporary dizziness or fatigue after exercises. Your physiotherapist will tailor exercises to your tolerance and monitor your progress closely.

Absolutely. By improving balance, coordination, and confidence, vestibular rehabilitation significantly reduces the risk of falls and related injuries, especially in older adults or those with chronic vestibular conditions.

No referral is required. However, coordination with your physician or ENT specialist can be helpful if there are underlying medical or vestibular conditions.
