Common Questions About Vestibular Therapy
What is vestibular therapy?
Vestibular therapy is a form of physiotherapy focused on balance and inner ear function. It helps to reduce symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, and unsteadiness.
Who can benefit from it?
Those dealing with vertigo, balance loss, dizziness, or symptoms after a concussion. Also helpful for people whose vision or movement triggers discomfort or instability.
What happens in a session?
First you’ll have a detailed intake: history, posture, movement, possibly vision-based tests. Treatment might involve repositioning of particles in the ear (if needed), balance training, gaze stabilisation, and exercises you can do at home.
How many sessions are needed?
It depends on your condition and how your body responds. Some people get relief in a few visits; others need more time. We’ll plan together based on what you report and how you progress.
Is it safe?
Yes, when done by trained therapists. We use methods that are evidence-based and adjust each step so you feel comfortable and supported.
