Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy
What is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy?
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is an exercise-based therapy for improving the individual's condition concerning balance disorder, dizziness, vertigo, and unsteadiness.The vestibular system is one of the body's fundamental parts in maintaining its posture, eye coordination with the head, and postural control.This system is compromised by conditions like Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease, labyrinthitis, or vestibular neuritis.
VRT is aimed at reeducating the brain to compensate for abnormal vestibular function by using specific exercises that enhance balance, coordination, and spatial orientation skills. Through a comprehensive, patient-focused treatment approach, VRT leads to recovery of normal function, alleviation of symptoms, and improvement in overall quality of life.
This Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is particularly helpful in individuals suffering from:
- Recurrent dizziness or vertigo
- Balance difficulties while walking or standing
- Motion sensitivity (dizziness triggered by head or body movements)
- Recurrent falls or instability
