Vestibular rehabilitation at a glance?
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) is a form of physical therapy that consists of specialized exercises designed for gaze and gait stabilization. Most vestibular therapy exercises involve head movement, an essential factor that helps stimulate and retrain the vestibular system. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is proven to be very effective for most adults and children who suffer from disorders of the vestibular or central balance system.
What are my treatment options?
Address the root cause of your dizziness with vestibular rehabilitation! Clients who receive early screening and intervention from one of our vestibular therapy experts get back to doing what they love quickly.
At Natural Balance, treatment for vestibular clients can include deep tissue work, IMS, acupuncture, the use of certain modalities and an intense home exercise program to help the client’s balance, gaze stability, and posture that all contribute to their vestibular problem.
Clients should attend each session without taking medications that reduce their dizziness. An Integral physiotherapist has to determine the cause of the problem and taking these meds can mask the symptoms and not give a true evaluation of the dizziness. Clients are warned that they will get dizzy during their treatment, however the physiotherapist will make sure their symptoms are gone before allowing the patient to leave the clinic.
