Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular Rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to help individuals with balance disorders and dizziness. It focuses on exercises that improve the function of the vestibular system, which is responsible for maintaining balance and spatial orientation. This therapy can benefit those with conditions such as vertigo, Meniere's disease, or after a head injury.
The rehabilitation program typically includes balance training, gaze stabilization exercises, and activities to enhance coordination. By gradually exposing patients to movements that provoke their symptoms, therapists aim to reduce dizziness and improve overall stability. This approach helps individuals regain confidence in their daily activities.
