Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized therapy for dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders
Understanding Vestibular Rehabilitation
The vestibular system is responsible for controlling balance and spatial orientation and includes the inner ear and parts of the brain that process sensory information related to balance.
Vestibular Physiotherapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy focused on the diagnosis and treatment of dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders caused by issues within the vestibular system. Our therapists use evidence-based assessment and treatment techniques to help you regain stability and confidence in your daily activities.
Vestibular Assessment Techniques
Our vestibular specialists use advanced assessment techniques to diagnose your condition accurately. One such technique is the pencil eye test, shown in the video below, which helps assess eye movements and vestibular function.

Our Approach to Vestibular Rehabilitation
Our specialized vestibular rehabilitation program is designed to address the specific needs of patients with balance and dizziness disorders. We begin with a comprehensive assessment to identify the underlying causes of your symptoms, followed by a personalized treatment plan to help you regain stability and confidence.
Treatment may include specialized exercises to retrain your brain's ability to process balance information, habituation exercises to decrease sensitivity to certain movements, and balance training to improve stability and prevent falls.
