What is Vestibular Therapy (VRT)?

Vestibular therapy (VRT) is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to address issues related to dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders caused by problems in the inner ear or brain. The vestibular system, which is responsible for detecting motion and maintaining balance, can become disrupted due to various conditions, including inner ear infections, head injuries, and neurological disorders.

How Vestibular Therapy Helps:

Vestibular therapy (VRT) involves specific exercises and techniques aimed at:

  • Improving balance and coordination:
    Through targeted movements and exercises, vestibular therapy helps retrain the brain to process signals from the inner ear correctly, improving balance and reducing the risk of falls.
  • Reducing dizziness and vertigo:
    The therapy includes maneuvers like the Epley maneuver, which can help alleviate the sensations of dizziness or spinning often associated with conditions like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
  • Enhancing overall stability:
    Vestibular therapy helps patients regain confidence in their movement and return to daily activities without the fear of dizziness or instability.

Common Conditions Treated with Vestibular Therapy:

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
  • PPPD/3PD/Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness
  • Vestibular Migraine
  • Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS)
  • Meniere’s Disease
  • Vestibular Neuritis/Labyrinthitis
  • Concussion-related dizziness
  • Post-surgery balance issues such as Vestibular Schwannoma/Acoustic Neuroma Resection
