Vestibular Physical Therapy

Vestibular therapy is performed by a specialty-trained physical therapist and involves treating patients with inner ear dysfunction. Inner ear dysfunction can include balance deficits, dizziness, and/or a missense of where one is in space. Vestibular therapy resolves dizziness through positional maneuvers, eye coordination exercises, and habituation exercises, all depending on the type of dizziness. Vestibular therapy restores balance through static and dynamic balance training tasks, often involving head turns and opening and closing eyes on a variety of surfaces.
