VSPT TREATMENT
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to help individuals overcome dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues. It employs a combination of exercises and techniques to retrain the brain and improve the functioning of the vestibular system, which is responsible for maintaining balance and spatial orientation.
Whether it's the feeling of being on a perpetual merry-go-round, or struggling to keep steady on your feet, the vestibular rehabilitation at Vail-Summit Physical Therapy are here to help you restore your stability and regain your quality of life.
When Would I Need Vestibular Rehabilitation?
Brain injuries, diseases, disorders, and simply aging can impact the vestibular system, which is composed of the inner ear, midbrain and cerebellum, and the vestibular nerve, and interrupt the signals between the body, inner ear, and brain. This can result in the following symptoms of vestibular damage:
-
Dizziness, vertigo, and lightheadedness
-
Headaches and double vision
-
Brain fog
-
Balance issues
-
Pain and stiffness in the neck
Someone consistently and progressively experiencing these symptoms should seek out vestibular therapy.

How Vestibular Rehabilitation Works
Vestibular rehab is a team effort between you and the tailored exercises and techniques our therapists create specifically for your condition and outcome goals. At VSPT, our team will partner with you to fortify the muscles responsible for maintaining balance while coaching your brain to adapt to any quirks in your vestibular system.
