Vestibular Rehabilitation

Regain Your Balance. Restore Your Confidence.

At Primacare Physical Therapy, we understand that vestibular disorders can do more than cause dizziness—they can impact your independence, safety, and quality of life. Our Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) program is designed to help patients manage and overcome the often-debilitating symptoms associated with vestibular dysfunction.

​

Understanding Vestibular Dysfunction​

​

Vestibular issues affect your inner ear and brain, which control balance and eye movements. When these systems are disrupted, common symptoms can include:

• Dizziness or lightheadedness

• Vertigo (a spinning sensation)

• Nausea or motion sensitivity

• Unsteady gait or balance problems

• Blurred vision or difficulty focusing

• Fatigue or disorientation with head movement

​

These symptoms can interfere with daily tasks—from walking and driving to simply turning your head.

​

What is Vestibular Rehabilitation?

​

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is a specialized, exercise-based program aimed at improving balance, reducing dizziness, and restoring overall stability. Our skilled vestibular therapists use a combination of:

• Targeted balance exercises

• Gaze stabilization techniques

• Postural training

• Habituation and canalith repositioning maneuvers (such as for BPPV)

• Patient education and personalized home programs

​

Each plan is tailored to meet your specific needs and address the root causes of your symptoms.

​

Who Can Benefit?

​

VRT is effective for patients experiencing:

• Vertigo or dizziness

• Balance disorders

• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

• Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis

• Stroke-related balance issues

• Unilateral or bilateral vestibular hypofunction

• General deconditioning due to inactivity

​

For example, patients with unilateral vestibular hypofunction may struggle with activities like checking blind spots while driving. Others with BPPV may avoid turning their head quickly or looking up, out of fear of triggering vertigo. VRT addresses these challenges directly—helping you return to normal, confident movement.
