Vestibular rehabilitation / vertigo care
Regain your balance and confidence.
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is a science-based, exercise-driven program that helps retrain the brain to process signals from the inner ear, vision, and proprioception more effectively, so daily movement feels steadier and safer.

When the vestibular system is compromised, everyday life can feel unpredictable.
- Dizziness may feel like spinning, wooziness, unsteadiness, or lightheadedness.
- Untreated symptoms can contribute to fatigue, nausea, anxiety, fear of movement, and reduced independence.
- Targeted treatment helps reduce fall risk and restore confidence with walking, driving, work, and exercise.
Our clinicians focus on the root cause.
Care may include detailed vestibular assessment, positional testing, gaze stabilization, habituation training, balance retraining, and repositioning maneuvers such as the Epley maneuver when appropriate.
- What is vestibular rehabilitation?
A focused program designed to help the brain adapt, compensate, and stabilize.
Your vestibular system in the inner ear plays a major role in balance and spatial awareness. When it is affected by injury, infection, concussion, migraine, aging, or nerve dysfunction, vestibular rehabilitation can help retrain the brain and body to work together again through progressive, evidence-informed exercises.
How the therapy works
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy uses customized movement-based treatment to improve central nervous system compensation. The program is built around the way you move, the symptoms you experience, and the triggers that challenge your balance, vision, and orientation.
What your care is built around
- Gaze stabilization
- Habituation training
- Balance retraining
- Positional testing
- Epley maneuver
- Home exercise progression
- Symptoms and conditions
Comprehensive treatment for dizziness, vertigo, and vestibular dysfunction.
Patients describe vestibular symptoms in many different ways, so a clear assessment matters. Our therapists provide care for common vestibular and dizziness-related conditions that can interfere with work, sport, sleep, concentration, and everyday activity.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
Sudden spinning episodes triggered by head position changes, often with rolling in bed, looking up, or bending forward.
Vestibular Neuritis
Inflammation of the vestibular nerve that can cause intense dizziness, imbalance, nausea, and difficulty with head movement.
Vestibular Migraine
Dizziness, motion sensitivity, visual disturbance, and vertigo linked with migraine history, even when head pain is not dominant.
Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury
Dizziness, visual instability, spatial disorientation, and activity intolerance after a concussion, sports injury, or accident.
Cervicogenic Dizziness
Balance problems and dizziness related to neck joint dysfunction, stiffness, pain, and altered cervical input.
Vestibular Hypofunction
Reduced function in one or both inner ears leading to persistent imbalance, gaze instability, and difficulty moving confidently.
- Benefits of care
Goals that go beyond symptom relief.
The aim of vestibular physiotherapy is not only to reduce dizziness, but to rebuild confidence, improve function, and make everyday movement feel predictable again.
Decrease disequilibrium
Reduce the constant sense of unsteadiness or being off-balance during walking, turning, and daily tasks.
Eliminate oscillopsia
Improve visual stability so the world does not feel like it is jumping, blurring, or lagging when your head moves.
Reduce fall risk
Improve functional balance, postural control, and stability with standing, walking, and community mobility.
Restore independence
Support a confident return to driving, sports, exercise, professional work, and everyday routines.
Reverse deconditioning
Rebuild general physical conditioning and confidence by reducing fear of movement and avoidance behaviors.
Improve quality of life
Help daily activities feel safer, less tiring, and more manageable by targeting both primary and secondary effects of dizziness.
