What is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)?

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) is a specialized form of physiotherapy that uses targeted exercises and techniques to treat dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems. These issues often occur due to inner ear disorders, head injuries, migraines, or neurological conditions.

Why Might You Need Vestibular Rehabilitation?

You may benefit from VRT if you experience:

• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

• Meniere’s disease

• Concussion or post-concussion syndrome

• Migraine-related dizziness

• Cervicogenic vertigo

• Tension-type headaches

• Stroke or traumatic brain injury

• Frequent imbalance or increased fall risk

👉 These conditions can disrupt daily life, but vestibular therapy helps retrain your brain and body to restore balance and stability.
