Vestibular Rehabilitation

If the brain cannot rely on the information it receives from the vestibular system, a person's ability to maintain posture and coordinate balance can become overly dependent on vision or on the information received from the muscles and joints (proprioception). Evaluation and retraining of the vestibular system is needed to compensate for vertigo, dizziness, nausea, and imbalance problems.

Your therapist will then develop an individualized treatment plan that will include exercises to be performed both in the therapy facility and at home and that combine specific head and body movements with eye exercises. Many times, treatment may also include increasing activities and exercise in order to strengthen muscles and increase tolerance for certain stimuli.
