Vestibular Rehabilitation

At Village Physiotherapy, we specialize in the assessment and treatment of vestibular disorders, including Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), the most common inner ear disorder causing vertigo.

Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to address symptoms associated with vestibular system disorders, which affect balance and spatial orientation. The vestibular system is located in the inner ear and plays a critical role in helping maintain equilibrium and coordinating eye and head movements. Dysfunction in this system can lead to issues like dizziness, vertigo, balance problems, and nausea.

A common condition treated with vestibular rehabilitation is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). BPPV occurs when tiny crystals in the inner ear become dislodged, leading to vertigo and balance issues triggered by head movements. BPPV can be very disruptive to daily life, causing difficulty with routine tasks and mobility. At Village Physiotherapy, we recognize the need for timely, professional, caring, and supportive treatment to help patients recover and regain their function.

Using Gold Standard Infrared Goggles, we provide precise vestibular assessments to reveal critical eye movements invisible in regular light. Diagnosis involves simple bedside tests, and treatment typically includes repositioning maneuvers like the Dix-Hallpike, which can resolve most cases within 1-3 sessions. Additional vestibular and balance exercises may also be provided to support long-term recovery.

Our goal is to provide expert, patient-centered care that minimizes symptoms, restores function, and helps you return to your daily life with confidence. Whether recovering from a concussion or managing vestibular conditions, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
