What is Vestibular rehabilitation?
Vestibular Rehabilitation (VR) is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that utilizes unique assessment techniques and an exercise-based approach to decrease the impact of dizziness and imbalance caused by various inner ear (vestibular) disorders and helps in fall prevention. Dizziness is a far too commom symptom but never normal. 80% of people over 65 years have experienced dizziness and positional vertigo is the most common cause. People with vestibular disorders were reported to have 8-fold increase in their risk of falling and affecting their quality of life.
Most common vestibular conditions
Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo (BPPV)
Vestibular Neuritis/ Labyrinthitis
Vestibular Migraines
Meniere’s Disease
Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)

What Clients have to say!
“Priti helped change my life! For over 40 years I've struggled with balance issues. I have seen doctors, specialists, chiropractors, and various therapists. I would get some relief but they could never understand my problem. Then I was in a motor vehicle accident where I was hit from behind and suffered further damage to my neck and Vestibular. I was so fortunate to find Priti. With her knowledge and skills she has been able to get to the root of my issues. And the relief I have now has been like a miracle. And she has taught me so much on maintaining this path.I am deeply grateful..”

Vertigo is a symptom and not a diagnosis. Your vestibular physiotherapist will do a detailed history taking and comprehensive evaluation. This will help them to formulate your diagnosis. If your diagnosis is BPPV, then generally it takes 1-5 sessions to get rid of vertigo depending on if they are free floating crystals or sticky crystals. Sticky crystals take a longer time to get rid of.
