Find Your Footing with Vestibular Therapy
Unsettling symptoms like persistent dizziness, vertigo, or motion sensitivity can leave you feeling off-balance–especially when they seem to appear out of nowhere. Fortunately, vestibular therapy in Chilliwack, BC at Elite Physio and Massage provides effective, evidence-based strategies for reducing these symptoms and helping you stay on your feet.
A Deep Dive into Vestibular Therapy
Vestibular therapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy that helps people improve balance, reduce dizziness, and restore confidence during movement.
Your inner ear, eyes, and body work together to keep you steady. But when this system becomes disrupted, it can lead to symptoms like dizziness, unsteadiness, or vertigo. Vestibular therapy helps the body adapt to these disruptions.
Through repeated, controlled activities, the brain learns to interpret signals from the inner ear more effectively. This approach helps reduce dizziness, improve steadiness, and support smoother, more confident movement. Many people notice progress as their balance reactions improve and activities feel more comfortable.
What Conditions Does Vestibular Therapy Treat?
Vestibular therapy may help with a variety of conditions, including:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
- Vestibular hypofunction
- Balance issues related to aging
- Motion sensitivity
- Dizziness linked to neck tension
- Post-concussion coordination changes
- Inner ear conditions that affect movement
