Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular Rehabilitation at Thrive Now
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physiotherapy designed to address issues related to the vestibular system. This system is responsible for balance and spatial orientation, and includes the inner ear and its connection to the brain. Vestibular rehab aims to alleviate symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance that may arise from conditions like inner ear disorders or head injuries.
At Thrive Now, we provide vestibular rehab for dizziness, vertigo, and other conditions.
This therapy often includes a series of exercises and maneuvers to gradually expose patients to controlled movements and position. This helps the brain adapt to and compensate for any disruptions in the vestibular system. The goal of vestibular rehab is to enhance overall balance and coordination, reduce symptoms, and improve performance of daily activities without discomfort or unsteadiness.
