Vestibular
Rehab

Physiotherapy for dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems.
Unsure if vestibular physio is the right fit? Take a quick quiz.
what to expect

Your first visit covers a detailed assessment of your symptoms, triggers, balance, eye movement, and head-movement tolerance. From there, your physiotherapist builds a plan that may include repositioning techniques, gaze stabilization exercises, balance and walking drills, motion-sensitivity work, and a home program — progressed based on how you respond.

HOW IT WORKS

Treatment depends on what's driving your symptoms. For BPPV, we use specific repositioning techniques to identify and treat the affected ear. It's quick and highly effective. For vestibular weakness, concussion, or motion sensitivity, targeted eye, head, walking, and balance exercises help your brain recalibrate through neuroplasticity, with strong research backing the outcomes.

FAQ

Common
questions

What is the difference between dizziness and vertigo?

Dizziness is a broad term that can include feeling lightheaded, off-balance, foggy, or unsteady. Vertigo is more specific and usually feels like you or the room is spinning.

Will the assessment make me dizzy?

Some parts of the assessment may temporarily bring on symptoms because we need to understand what triggers them. Your therapist will explain what they’re testing, monitor your response, and adjust the session as needed.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on the cause of your symptoms. Some forms of positional vertigo can improve quickly, while concussion-related dizziness, balance deficits, or vestibular weakness may require a more progressive rehab plan.

Do I need a doctor’s referral?

In most cases, you do not need a referral to see a physiotherapist. Some insurance plans may require one for reimbursement, so it’s worth checking your coverage.
