VESTIBULAR
Getting dizzy? We can keep you balanced.
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to improve balance, reduce dizziness, and restore confidence with movement.
Many patients experience dizziness when:
- rolling in bed
- sitting up quickly
- looking down at a phone
- bending over
- looking up
- turning the head
- walking in busy environments
One of the most common causes is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), which creates a sudden spinning sensation that often lasts less than a minute.
BPPV happens when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear become displaced and move into the balance canals of the ear. Certain head movements then trigger the sensation of spinning, dizziness, nausea, or imbalance.
The good news is that this is often highly treatable with the right positional maneuvers and guided vestibular rehabilitation.
At THEORY Physical Therapy, we also help patients experiencing:
- balance loss
- fall risk
- unsteadiness
- dizziness with movement
- age-related balance decline
- dizziness after head position changes
- instability after illness or injury
Our therapists build a customized treatment plan based on the true cause of your symptoms, helping improve balance, reduce fall risk, and restore confidence with walking, turning, and daily movement.
Balance and Fall Prevention
Balance changes can happen gradually with age, weakness, inner ear changes, or neurological and musculoskeletal issues.
Because dizziness and imbalance can increase the risk of falls, early treatment is extremely important.
Vestibular and balance therapy may help improve:
- walking confidence
- reaction time
- coordination
- stability on uneven surfaces
- turning and direction changes
- confidence with stairs
- fall prevention
- overall safety at home and in the community
Our goal is to help you feel safe, steady, and confident again.
