Vestibular rehabilitation physiotherapy is a movement-based approach that may support individuals experiencing dizziness, imbalance, or issues related to the inner ear. The vestibular system, located within the inner ear, plays an important role in maintaining balance and spatial orientation. When this system is disrupted due to conditions such as vertigo, vestibular neuritis, or post-concussion symptoms, daily activities may become challenging. Vestibular rehabilitation aims to support the body’s ability to adapt and regain control over balance and movement.

The process usually begins with an assessment to understand how symptoms are affecting walking, turning, head movements, or visual focus. Based on the findings, a physiotherapist may design a care plan that includes exercises intended to reduce dizziness, improve eye coordination, and enhance stability during motion. These exercises are introduced gradually to allow the body to adapt at its own pace.

Common goals of vestibular rehabilitation include improving balance while standing or walking, reducing sensations of spinning or unsteadiness, and helping the body respond more effectively to motion. Activities may include gaze stabilization exercises, balance training, and movements that help the brain adjust to conflicting signals from the inner ear and body.

In addition to improving physical responses, therapy can support confidence in daily routines. Many individuals with vestibular concerns may avoid certain movements or environments out of fear of triggering symptoms. With structured guidance, they may be able to reintroduce these activities in a way that feels safe and manageable.

Over time, vestibular rehabilitation physiotherapy may contribute to improved coordination, reduced dizziness, and a more stable sense of movement. This can make everyday tasks like walking in busy places, turning the head quickly, or navigating uneven surfaces feel more controlled and less overwhelming.
