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.
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.

Reduce dizziness
