Vestibular/Concussion Therapy

What is Vestibular/Concussion Therapy?

Vestibular therapy is a specialized rehabilitation approach for individuals experiencing dizziness, vertigo, balance problems, and motion sensitivity. These symptoms often arise from inner-ear dysfunction, concussions, BPPV, neurological conditions, or chronic imbalance. Treatment begins with a thorough assessment of eye movements, balance reactions, vestibular function, and motion triggers. Therapists use personalized exercises such as gaze stabilization, balance retraining, habituation techniques, and repositioning maneuvers (like the Epley maneuver) to reduce dizziness and restore stability. Vestibular therapy helps the brain adapt to changes in sensory input, improving coordination and daily function. Over time, patients experience less dizziness, greater confidence in movement, and improved ability to perform normal activities without fear of imbalance.

Benefits of Vestibular Therapy

• Reduces dizziness, vertigo, and motion sensitivity
• Improves balance, stability, and coordination
• Helps treat BPPV through repositioning maneuvers
• Enhance gaze stabilization and visual tracking
• Restores confidence in walking and daily movement
• Shorten recovery time after concussion or inner-ear issues
• Reduces risk of falls and improves overall physical safety
