Evidence-based resources for assessment and treatment of the vestibular system. NOT medical advice.

All exercises should be performed under the supervision of a qualified clinician. We are Sara and Sydney, two physical therapists with a combined 20 years of experience working with patients with vestibular disorders. With a shared passion for vestibular rehab, we aim to equip fellow clinicians with evidence-based resources to provide high quality care to patients with vestibular disorders.

This is the *in a nutshell* version of how to progress vestibular exercises 🌰 🥜

Is this how we progress every patient? NO.

Some people need lower level exercises, some need higher level. So, how do you find the right path for advancement?

👉🏽What is important to them? What level of physical participation does it require?
👉🏽Is it challenging enough? If they aren’t showing any degree of error with the exercise, it’s too easy!
👉🏽is it functional? Make the exercises match their goals - salience is 🔑

We typically do a lot more walking exercises, but for the sake of this post, all exercises are done in this little corner space.

How can you challenge your patient a little extra today?

For acoustic neuroma (AN) awareness week, we will discuss some must know facts about AN!

Acoustic neuromas (also called vestibular schwannomas) are benign, slow-growing tumors that arise from the 8th cranial nerve (vestibulocochlear).

They often cause gradual, asymmetric hearing loss, tinnitus, and imbalance. The tricky part is that dizziness is not always a symptom!

We’ll be sharing more throughout the week on how to recognize, test, and support people with acoustic neuroma.

📣Awareness matters!

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common vestibular disorder, and its presentation is not always textbook. Especially in older adults, symptoms may present as imbalance or unsteadiness rather than classic vertigo.

Patients may say:
😵‍💫 “I feel off-balance when I look up into cabinets.”
😵‍💫 “I lose my balance when I bend forward to pick weeds.”
😵‍💫 “I don’t know why I keep falling”

Patient may not report a room spinning dizziness, particularly in individuals with multi-factorial balance impairments. A positional test is quick and may uncover a treatable diagnosis that could otherwise go unnoticed.

Don’t wait for classic vertigo—test anyone reporting imbalance or falls!!

Big shoutout to these guys who listen to our constant banter about otoconia, nystagmus, and all things vestibular 😆😘 thanks for the love and support throughout this whole vestibular journey!

We are VERY tired of hearing this narrative over and over again!

😡🤬😖

“My doctor told me I have vertigo”
“They gave me Meclizine to fix my vertigo”
“There’s nothing they can do about my dizziness”
“They said I just have to live with it”
“I’ve been sleeping in a recliner ever since they told me I have vertigo”

We could go ON AND ON.

We can do better! Vestibular disorders are treatable (and we don’t mean with Meclizine).

It is our responsibility as clinicians to:
👉🏽 be familiar with the vestibular system
👉🏽 be able to talk to patients about their symptoms
👉🏽 educate patients on options for assessment and treatment
👉🏽 refer to the proper clinicians when necessary

We have multiple online courses to optimize your assessment and treatment of patients with dizziness. DM us for more info on courses!
