What is Vestibular Rehabilitation?
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized area of physiotherapy that is aimed at addressing impairments of the vestibular system.
The vestibular system includes parts of the inner ear and brain that are responsible for processing information involved in controlling balance and eye movements.
Research has shown that vestibular rehabilitation is effective in improving symptoms related to many vestibular disorders.
