Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular rehabilitation is an evidence-based exercise program designed to address a range of vestibular issues. These exercises, along with passive techniques, can effectively treat conditions such as vertigo, light-headedness, migraines, equilibrium disorders, dizziness, concussions, nausea, vomiting, and imbalances related to brain or inner ear damage.
The comprehensive approach of vestibular rehabilitation includes various components, such as gaze stabilization, balance retraining, and passive maneuvers to reposition crystals within the ear canal. Depending on the underlying cause, our physiotherapist may incorporate additional techniques such as massage for tight neck muscles, gaze shifting exercises and neck stabilization exercises in cases of cervicogenic vertigo.
While a referral from your doctor is not always necessary, they may recommend seeing an experienced physiotherapist in calgary if you struggle to maintain balance during walking or daily tasks, or if your symptoms worsen with positional changes or movement.
During your initial session, our Physiotherapist in Calgary will conduct a thorough assessment, including a detailed history of your symptoms and specific tests such as balance assessments, position tests, and eye examinations. This information will guide the development of a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Subsequent sessions will consist of in-clinic treatments and exercises, complemented by a home exercise program provided to you in a format that suits your preference, whether it be a printed sheet or email.
Vestibular rehabilitation not only helps alleviate symptoms but also reduces the risk of falls by improving balance and reducing physical dependence on others. Our team of Physiotherapists in Calgary are dedicated to help you overcome these challenges and regain your quality of life as quickly as possible.
