WHAT TO EXPECT
Your first session will involve a detailed assessment of your symptoms, including balance tests, eye tracking, and head movement analysis. From there, your therapist will create a plan tailored to your specific needs. Many patients with BPPV may see dramatic improvements in just one or two visits, while others with more complex conditions see steady progress over several weeks.
During therapy, you'll be guided through safe, targeted movements designed to challenge your system in a controlled way. You may also receive home exercises to speed up recovery. As your brain adjusts and symptoms fade, you’ll notice improvements in your ability to move through daily life without fear of dizziness or imbalance.
OVERVIEW
Vestibular therapy is a specialized type of physical therapy focused on treating dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems caused by inner ear dysfunction. When the vestibular system is off, everyday movements like turning your head or standing up can trigger spinning sensations or unsteadiness. Vestibular therapy works by retraining the brain and body to manage these signals more effectively.
This treatment starts with a thorough evaluation of your symptoms, eye movements, head positioning, and balance. Your physical therapist then designs a personalized plan that may include gaze stabilization, balance retraining, and habituation exercises. Over time, these techniques reduce dizziness, improve stability, and restore confidence in daily movement.
