Vestibular Rehabilitation

Gentle, strategic retraining of your body's balance networks to help you feel more steady, confident, and in control of your movements and spatial awareness.

What is Vestibular Rehabilitation?

Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized therapy designed to help you manage and improve symptoms related to concussions, dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems. Instead of relying on medication, our non-invasive approach focuses on targeted exercises and manual techniques that naturally support your body's healing process. Think of it as physical therapy specifically for your inner ear and brain's balance system.

When you come to Vaughan Physiotherapy, we'll start with a comprehensive assessment to understand exactly what's causing your symptoms. We'll look at how your vestibular system is functioning through clinical tests, potentially some imaging studies, and by listening closely to your personal experiences.

Based on our findings, we'll create a personalized exercise program targeting your specific challenges. These exercises are carefully designed to:

Reduce dizziness
Improve your balance
Stabilize your vision during head movements
Help you feel more confident in your daily activities

Your recovery journey is unique. Factors like your overall activity level, any existing pain, other medical conditions, medications, and emotional well-being can all influence your progress. We're committed to supporting you through each step of this rehabilitation process.

Our goal is to help you regain your sense of stability and improve your quality of life. Vestibular rehab isn't about a quick fix, but about giving you the tools and techniques to manage and overcome your symptoms effectively.
