What Is Vestibular Therapy?

Vestibular Therapy, also known as Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT), is a physiotherapy treatment approach used to assess and treat conditions affecting the vestibular system. The vestibular system is located in the inner ear and plays an important role in balance, coordination, spatial awareness, and head movement control.

When the vestibular system is not functioning properly, it can cause symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, motion sensitivity, blurred vision with movement, and difficulty walking.

BPPV Treatment in Hamilton

BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo. It often causes sudden spinning sensations when rolling in bed, looking up, bending over, or changing positions. Vestibular physiotherapy can help treat BPPV using repositioning maneuvers designed to restore normal inner ear function and eliminate symptoms.
