Vestibular Rehabilitation is a therapeutic program using exercise to help regain the sense of balance. A medical condition called vertigo, or dizziness, is produced when debris from the inner ear is dislodged and accumulated in the posterior canal of the ear. When the head moves, the debris can pull on the tiny hair-like sensors in the ear canal that disturbs our equilibrium. Individuals sometimes describe vertigo as if they are spinning, or their environment is spinning – causing them to feel dizzy. This condition causes you to be at an increased risk for falls and can make it difficult to do normal activities.

Our physical and occupational therapists use special techniques to reduce dizziness and help patients regain normal function. Typically, a therapist will recommend personalized exercises for the patient to do at home on a regular basis, between therapy appointments.
