Vestibular Physiotherapy in Edmonton

Vestibular physiotherapy is a specialized type of physiotherapy that focuses on treating disorders of the vestibular system, the part of the inner ear that is responsible for balance and coordination. Vestibular physiotherapy can help people with a variety of conditions, including:

  • Vertigo

  • Benign positional vertigo (BPPV)

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions. Once any medical conditions have been ruled out, your doctor may refer you to a vestibular physiotherapy in Edmonton for further assessment and treatment.

What to expect during a vestibular physiotherapy assessment

During your initial assessment, your vestibular physiotherapist will ask you about your symptoms and medical history. They will also perform a variety of tests to assess your balance, coordination, and eye movements.

Once your vestibular physiotherapist has completed their assessment, they will develop a personalized treatment plan for you. Your treatment plan may include a variety of exercises and techniques, such as:

  • Gaze stabilization exercises: These exercises help to train the eyes to focus on a target while the head is moving.
  • Vestibular habituation exercises: These exercises help to reduce the sensitivity of the vestibular system to certain movements.
  • Balance and coordination exercises: These exercises help to improve balance and coordination.
  • Manual therapy: This may involve gentle massage or mobilization of the neck and upper back.
