Vestibular disorders can result in loss of balance, eye control and coordination. Vestibular physiotherapy involves the use of special movements to retrain the vestibular system and regain control in the affected areas.
Conditions that are treated with vestibular physiotherapy include:
Vestibular conditions are mostly treated by moving the head into a position that triggers the dizziness or vertigo sensation, then repositioning the head to retrain the vestibular system.
Vestibular physiotherapy is not usually painful, however patients may feel uncomfortable during treatment as the vestibular condition is triggered in order to retrain the system.
