Vestibular Therapy
Dizziness, imbalance, or a sense that the room won’t quite hold still can come from the inner ear’s balance system — vestibular rehab is built to retrain it.
When Balance Itself Is the Problem
Vestibular issues show up differently for everyone — brief spinning with certain head movements, a persistent sense of unsteadiness, or dizziness that seems to come from nowhere. The common thread is usually the inner ear’s balance system not sending the signals it should.
Vestibular rehabilitation uses specific exercises to retrain how your brain interprets those balance signals, helping reduce dizziness and improve stability over time.
Balance problems respond well to the right kind of targeted exercise — but getting the exercises right depends on identifying what’s actually driving the imbalance.
What Vestibular Rehab Can Improve
Reduces Dizziness Over Time
Targeted exercises that help retrain how your brain processes balance signals.
Improves Stability & Confidence
Less fear of falling, and more confidence moving through daily activities.
Addresses the Root Signal Issue
Rather than just managing symptoms, vestibular rehab works to retrain the underlying system.
Personalized to Your Symptoms
Vestibular symptoms vary widely person to person — the right exercises depend on your specific presentation.
What a Vestibular Evaluation Looks Like
An evaluation looks at how your eyes, head, and balance system work together, along with a detailed history of when and how your symptoms show up.
From there, a plan is built around retraining the specific issue identified — not a generic dizziness protocol.
Eye & Head Movement Testing
Assessing how your eyes track and how your balance system responds to head movement.
Balance & Gait Assessment
A look at how steady and coordinated your movement is in practice, not just on paper.
A Targeted Home Program
Specific exercises to practice between visits, built around your actual symptoms.

Is dizziness always a vestibular issue?
No — dizziness can come from several different systems in the body. Evaluation helps sort out whether the inner ear’s balance system is actually the driver.
