Dizziness and vertigo can come out of nowhere and can affect anyone. We also know that it can restrict a person’s daily activities, increase falls risk and mean having a more sedentary lifestyle simply due to the symptoms our vestibular patients experience.
Vestibular rehabilitation is a niche area of physiotherapy that addresses various vestibular or inner ear disorders. We have select physiotherapists that are trained in vestibular rehabilitation enabling a comprehensive assessment of the vestibular, oculomotor and balance systems. From here they create an individualized treatment plan as appropriate for the patient. Our team can treat you in the clinic or can visit you in your home if required.
