Understanding Vestibular Disorders
The vestibular system in your inner ear helps control balance, spatial orientation, and eye movements. When this system is disrupted, it can cause a range of debilitating symptoms.
Common vestibular conditions we treat:
• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
• Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis
• Meniere’s disease
• Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD)
• Balance problems after concussion
• Age-related balance decline
Our physiotherapists use specialized assessment techniques to identify the specific cause of your dizziness and design a targeted rehabilitation program.

How Vestibular Rehabilitation Works
Vestibular rehabilitation uses specific exercises and techniques to retrain your brain and inner ear to process balance information correctly.
Our treatment includes:
• Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers: Specialized techniques such as the Epley maneuver to relocate displaced crystals in the inner ear that cause BPPV.
• Gaze Stabilization Exercises: Training your eyes and inner ear to work together to reduce visual blurring and dizziness during head movement.
• Balance Retraining: Progressive exercises to improve your steadiness on various surfaces and in different positions.
• Habituation Exercises: Controlled exposure to movements that trigger dizziness, helping your brain adapt and reduce symptoms over time.
We adjust your program based on your progress and specific vestibular condition.

Common Questions About Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physiotherapy that treats dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems caused by inner ear disorders. It uses exercises and techniques to retrain your balance system.
Many cases of vertigo, especially BPPV, can be resolved in just a few sessions with canalith repositioning maneuvers. Other vestibular conditions improve significantly with targeted exercises over several weeks.
BPPV often resolves in 1 to 3 sessions. Other vestibular conditions typically take 4 to 12 weeks of progressive exercises. Your physiotherapist will provide a timeline after your assessment.
Yes. Our physiotherapists are trained in specialized vestibular techniques and progress your treatment safely based on your tolerance and condition.
Bring your health card, insurance information, any medical reports or imaging, and a list of current medications. Wear comfortable clothing and supportive footwear.
No referral is needed. You can book directly with our Milton clinic. Some insurance plans may require a doctor's note for coverage.
Most extended health insurance plans cover physiotherapy. We offer direct billing to make the process simple.
Regular balance exercises, maintaining leg strength, managing medications that affect balance, and addressing inner ear issues early help prevent falls and balance decline.
BPPV occurs when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear become dislodged and move into the wrong canal. This causes brief spinning sensations with certain head movements.
You should book an assessment if you experience vertigo, persistent dizziness, unsteady walking, or balance problems that affect your safety or daily activities.
