Why Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)?

BBPV is best treated using the Epley maneuver which in 80% of cases relieves symptom the first visit. Other types of vertigo respond to Vestibular Rehabilitation, a type of physical therapy aimed at helping to strengthen the vestibular system-the system that sends signals to the brain about head and body movements. This exercise-based program improves balance and reduces dizziness-related problems. Our therapists use a series of specific head and body movement exercises created to treat BBPV.
