Vestibular Rehabilitation begins with a detailed physiotherapy assessment to identify the specific cause of dizziness or balance dysfunction.

The physiotherapist may assess: Balance and coordination, Walking pattern (gait analysis), Visual stability, Head and eye movement control, Neck mobility and stiffness, Strength and flexibility, Positional testing for vertigo, and Inner ear-related symptoms.

Based on the findings, a personalized rehabilitation program is created to target the patient's specific vestibular problems.

1. Habituation Exercises: These exercises help reduce dizziness caused by movement or changes in position. Helps With: Motion sensitivity, Movement-related dizziness, Vertigo during daily activities. The brain gradually becomes less sensitive to triggering movements over time.

2. Gaze Stabilization Exercises: These exercises improve eye control and visual focus during head movement. Benefits: Improves visual clarity, Reduces blurred vision, Enhances coordination between eye and head movement. Especially useful for patients who feel dizzy while walking or turning the head.

3. Balance Training: Balance exercises help improve body stability and reduce the risk of falls. Focus Areas: Standing balance, Walking stability, Coordination, Postural control, Functional movement training. Training is progressed gradually according to the patient's condition and confidence level.

Guided Therapy Sessions: Treatment may include: Balance exercises, Gaze stabilization, Positional maneuvers, Walking training, Coordination exercises, Neck mobility exercises.

Home Exercise Program: Patients are given home exercises to improve recovery and long-term symptom control.

Session Duration: Typically 30-60 minutes

Frequency: Usually 1-3 sessions per week depending on symptom severity.

Recovery Duration: Recovery varies based on the vestibular condition and individual response to therapy. Some patients improve within a few sessions, while chronic vestibular disorders may require several weeks of rehabilitation.
