Vestibular Rehabilitation
What is Vestibular Rehabilitation?
Vestibular rehabilitation under the direct guidance of a licensed physical therapist involves exercises that help you to manage or fix your dizziness and imbalance problem. It can take time but it will help to improve your quality of life. Dizziness and balance go hand in hand.
Why should I see a physical therapist for dizziness?
If you are dizzy or off balance, you may have an inner ear, or vestibular problem. Many people with inner ear damage may stop exercising or moving their head. Some physical therapists are specially trained to treat the dizziness and balance problems that you may have. When you start moving again with the help of your therapist, your dizziness will improve. Performing your normal activities and physical exercise can help you reach your goals. PT can teach you strategies to help you gradually recover. If specific activities or chores around the house cause you to feel off balance, you will learn how to do them safely. Activities that were simple before the vestibular disorder may become difficult and cause fatigue and dizziness. You will be given exercises depending on your specific type of dizziness. Exercises are designed to improve your balance and ability to see clearly when you move your head. In addition, general exercises including walking outdoors are often prescribed to improve overall physical health and endurance. It is important to start your therapy as soon as your physician refers you to a PT. The brain and inner ear system recover best in the first few months after the vestibular system is damaged.
Balance issues and dizziness may affect you in different ways. Your healthcare provider will tailor vestibular rehabilitation therapy to your specific need. They’ll show you how to do specific exercises at home. Therapy may include these exercises:
- Eye movement control.
- Balance retraining.
- Stretching and strengthening.
What are the advantages of vestibular rehabilitation therapy?
Studies show vestibular rehabilitation therapy helps:
- Reduce your risk of falling.
- Improve your balance.
- Reduce your dizziness symptoms.
- Improve your ability to stabilize your vision.
- Increase your body strength.
