What Is Vestibular Therapy?

Feeling dizzy, off-balance, or like the room is spinning? You’re not alone—and you’re not imagining it. These symptoms often stem from issues within the vestibular system, and that’s where Vestibular Physiotherapy can help.

At ProActive Physiotherapy, we offer specialized Vestibular Therapy to help you regain your balance, reduce dizziness, and feel confident in your movement again.

 

Understanding the Vestibular System

The vestibular system is a small but mighty part of your inner ear that plays a big role in how you move through the world. It sends crucial information to your brain and eyes about your body’s position, movement, and spatial orientation. This system helps you:

  • Maintain balance and posture

  • Navigate uneven surfaces safely

  • Keep your vision stable while moving

  • Coordinate head and body movements

When the vestibular system is disrupted—by illness, inflammation, injury, or age-related changes—it can lead to symptoms such as:

  • Vertigo (a spinning sensation)

  • Dizziness or lightheadedness

  • Unsteadiness or frequent falls

  • Blurred vision or difficulty focusing

  • Nausea or motion sensitivity

These symptoms can be unsettling and impact your ability to work, drive, exercise, or enjoy daily life.
