Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physiotherapy used to assess and manage dizziness, vertigo, balance difficulties and motion sensitivity. Depending on the clinical findings, treatment may include gaze-stabilization exercises, balance training, habituation exercises, functional retraining or canalith repositioning maneuvers for appropriate cases of BPPV.
A vestibular assessment may be appropriate when symptoms are triggered by head movement, position changes, walking, visually busy environments or recovery after an injury.
Spinning or movement sensations that may occur with position changes or head movement.
Feeling lightheaded, disoriented or unsteady during movement or daily activities.
Unsteadiness while standing or walking, reduced confidence or concern about falling.
Brief positional vertigo often triggered by rolling in bed, looking up or bending down.
Symptoms with head motion, screens, crowds, stores, traffic or visually complex environments.
Dizziness, visual-motion sensitivity or balance changes following a concussion or head injury.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one possible cause of short episodes of vertigo triggered by changes in head position. Symptoms may occur when rolling over in bed, sitting up, looking upward or bending down.
When your history and assessment suggest BPPV, a physiotherapist may perform appropriate positional testing. If the findings are consistent with BPPV and treatment is suitable, a canalith repositioning maneuver may be used.
Dizziness can have many causes. Assessment helps determine whether physiotherapy is appropriate and whether medical follow-up should be recommended.
The assessment is designed to understand your symptom pattern, identify relevant impairments and determine whether vestibular rehabilitation is appropriate.
We review onset, duration, triggers, medical history and how symptoms affect walking, work, driving and daily activities.
Depending on your presentation, testing may include balance, gait, coordination, visual or head-movement tasks.
If your history suggests positional vertigo, appropriate positional tests may be considered.
Your physiotherapist discusses findings, recommended treatment and whether further medical assessment may be advisable.
Treatment is selected according to the assessment. Not every technique is appropriate for every patient.
Repositioning maneuvers may be used for suitable presentations of BPPV.
Exercises may target visual stability during controlled head movement.
Progressive tasks can challenge standing, walking and postural control safely.
Gradual exposure may be used when certain movements or environments reliably provoke symptoms.
Exercises can be progressed toward walking, turning and activities relevant to daily function.
When appropriate, your therapist provides exercises and progression guidance for home practice.
Your treatment plan is based on the findings from your assessment and the activities you want to return to.
Your symptoms and movement findings guide the treatment plan rather than a one-size-fits-all exercise list.
Rehabilitation can be progressed toward walking, work, daily activities and confidence with movement.
