Vestibular Rehabilitation therapy is an emerging field within physiotherapy, utilizing manual therapy and patient centered exercises to reposition the crystals within the inner ear and re-training the brain to better process the signals from the inner ear and nervous system.

The therapist will screen the visual and vestibular systems with various tests that observe how well eye movements and balance are being controlled by these systems.
A customized exercise plan is developed from the findings of the clinical assessment. Treatment will involve manual therapy of the neck / head, education and home exercises.
