Did you know the vestibular system is more than just a balance organ? The information the vestibular system collects is widely distributed throughout the brain and used in a tonne of processes!

A few areas the vestibular system had major roles in include:

🌀THE AUTONOMIC SYSTEM: aka all those things your body does automatically for you. Think blood pressure, breathing rate, digestion…
🌀 HIGHER LEVEL COGNITIVE PROCESSES: for instance, spatial navigation, learning, attention and memory
🌀 PERCEPTUAL AND MOTOR DECISION MAKING: for instance, when driving a car you need to use your sense to make good choices about when to go and when to stop
🌀 MENTAL IMAGERY AND MENTAL ROTATION: being able to visualize a space and objects. For instance, will that suitcase fit in the overhead bin?

For more, check out Dr Frank and Dr Greenlee’s publication “The parieto-insular vestibular cortex in humans: more than a single area?” from the Journal of Neurophysiology, published in 2018.

Happy learning!

We get this question a lot: “But don’t I need a referral from my doc before I can see you?”

The answer: NO!

In BC, physiotherapists are direct access meaning you don’t need a doctor’s referral to see us!

This means that’s if you’re dealing with:
🔹 joint or muscle pain
🔹 dizziness
🔹 pelvic floor concerns
🔹 TMD
🔹 hypermobility
🔹 problems after a concussion
Or anything in between, we can help!

Pain in your jaw? Dealing with clicking and locking? Is it difficult to chew?

You may have TMD, also known as temporomandibular disorder - a common problem involving the muscles, joint and nerves of the jaw.

Physio and massage are great tools for TMD. We can help by:
🔹 improving jaw joint mobility
🔹 releasing tight muscles
🔹 correcting posture issues
🔹 guiding gentle, safe movement & supportive habits

Using the right approach including manual therapy and exercise, people often report significantly less pain and more movement within weeks of starting treatment.

If you’re looking treatment for a painful jaw, give us a call at (778) 630-8800

Want to know what scares me? Osteoporosis.

Strong bones = more than just calcium & sunlight — your workouts matter!
Try adding:
• Squats / deadlifts / lunges (resistance training)
• Jumping, stair climbing, dancing (impact weight-bearing)
• Balance and stability work (fall prevention)
Aim for ~2-3 resistance sessions/week + 30-min weight-bearing most days.
Your bones will thank you — literally.

If you are not sure where to begin a bone-healthy strengthening program we have two fabulous Kinesiologists who can get you well on your way!

Phone 778-630-8800 or email clinic@ladnervillagephysio.com to book your appointment.

TRUE OR FALSE: dizziness always comes from your inner ear.

The answer:

🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀

FALSE!

Dizziness can come from several sources! While a major source of dizziness and vertigo is the inner ear, symptoms can also originate from:

🌀 medications
🌀 the neck
🌀 low blood pressure
🌀 (and possibly the biggest one of all!) migraine

If you’re frequently dizzy, a vestibular assessment can help figure out the source and get you back on the road to a dizzy free life!

I run into people every day who have no idea what I do for a living. So let’s break it down - what is vestibular rehabilitation?

Vestibular rehabilitation is for people experiencing:
🌀 dizziness
🌀 vertigo
🌀 balance issues
🌀 unsteadiness

It helps retrain the inner ear, brain and eyes to work together better through exercises like head turns, balance training, gaze stabilization, and walking with head movement.

Over time, people typically have fewer dizzy spells, steadier walking, and improved confidence.

Research also supports early intervention, especially with concussion, infection and post-trauma. Recovery times are shortened, balance is improved and falls are reduced.

Did You Know?

One of the most effective treatments for knee osteoarthritis is exercise!

Research shows that strength + aerobic training (land based or aquatic) 3-5x per week over 8-12 weeks significantly reduces pain and improves strength. Static stretches and plyometrics help, too, but with caution.

Movement may feel uncomfortable sometimes but it’s not the same as damaging the joint. Over time you’ll get more mobility, less stiffness and less pain!
