What Is Vestibular Rehabilitation?
The vestibular system, located within the inner ear, plays an important role in maintaining balance, coordinating eye movements, and helping your body understand its position in space. When this system is affected by injury, illness, or concussion, it can lead to dizziness, vertigo, balance problems, and difficulty performing everyday activities.
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of therapy that uses carefully selected exercises to help your brain and body adapt to these changes. Treatment focuses on improving balance, reducing dizziness, and restoring normal movement patterns over time.
What to Expect During Your Assessment
Your first appointment begins with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and when your dizziness or balance problems began.
Your practitioner will complete a comprehensive assessment that may include:
- Balance testing
- Eye movement assessment
- Positional testing
- Walking and gait evaluation
- Functional movement assessment
Based on your assessment, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan designed to help you safely return to your normal daily activities.

Vestibular Rehabilitation After Concussion
Dizziness and balance problems are common following a concussion. Vestibular rehabilitation can play an important role in recovery by addressing symptoms that may persist after the initial injury.
If you’re experiencing dizziness, blurred vision, balance difficulties, or motion sensitivity following a concussion, our team can determine whether vestibular rehabilitation may be an appropriate part of your recovery plan.
