Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialised form of physiotherapy specifically designed to help with patients with vestibular dysfunction/dizziness. Depending on the patient’s injury and presentation, vestibular physiotherapist will perform various treatment techniques and design a vestibular rehabilitation program.
With BPPV, once it was diagnosed and the specific affected canal was located, your vestibular physiotherapist will be able to perform treatment maneuver specific to the affected canal and type of BPPV, to reposition to displaced otoconia and many patients with BPPV will improve within 1-3 sessions.
With other vestibular conditions, a vestibular rehabilitation program may be prescribed. It could consist of:
Gaze stability exercise – to help train the coordination between your head and eyes
Adaptation exercise – to help your vestibular system and brain to adapt and recalibrate after a vestibular injury
Balance exercise – to help maximise your ability to stay balance, and reduce the risk of falling
If you have a vestibular condition/injury, or you have been experiencing dizziness, vertigo symptoms or having trouble with your balance, contact Northhab physiotherapy and a detailed vestibular assessment could be organised and your vestibular physiotherapist will be able to assist you in your vestibular rehabilitation.
