🌀 What Does a Vestibular Physiotherapist Do – And Why Should You See One?

If you've ever felt dizzy, lightheaded, unsteady, or experienced sudden episodes of vertigo, you know how disruptive these symptoms can be to your daily life. What many people don’t realize is that these symptoms are often related to the vestibular system—a part of the inner ear and brain that helps control balance and eye movements.

That’s where a vestibular physiotherapist comes in.

✅ What Is Vestibular Physiotherapy?

Vestibular physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that focuses on assessing and treating disorders of the vestibular system. These conditions can include:

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

  • Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis

  • Post-concussion dizziness

  • Chronic dizziness or imbalance

  • Meniere’s disease

  • Motion sensitivity or visual vertigo

Through targeted exercises and manual techniques, vestibular physiotherapists help retrain your brain to interpret signals from the inner ear correctly—reducing dizziness, improving balance, and restoring confidence in movement.

🧠 What Can You Expect from Treatment?

Your vestibular physiotherapist will begin with a detailed assessment, which may include:

  • Balance and gait testing

  • Positional testing for vertigo

  • Eye movement assessments

  • Postural control evaluation

  • History of symptoms and potential triggers

Treatment plans are highly individualized and may include:

  • Canalith repositioning maneuvers

  • Balance retraining exercises

  • Gaze stabilization exercises

  • Habituation techniques to reduce dizziness sensitivity

  • Education and home exercises to empower you between sessions
