Vestibular rehabilitation involves specific exercises that help you manage dizziness and balance issues. These exercises involve training your eyes, head movements, and balance system to better process information. Some conditions may benefit from a series of head movements guided by a trained therapist.

Some of the benefits of vestibular rehabilitation include decreasing sensations of the room spinning, addressing balance and unsteadiness, and improving the ability to focus when reading.

During an initial assessment for your condition, it is common for your symptoms to be increased temporarily. We recommend you make plans to ensure someone can transport you home safely.
