What is the Vestibular System

• Understanding Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy
  (VRT)
• Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is a
  specialized form of physical therapy designed to
  treat balance disorders, dizziness, and vertigo.
  At Hillcrest Physio in Abbotsford, we offer
  expert care to help patients regain their
  stability and confidence. Our dedicated team of
  physiotherapists uses evidence-based techniques
  to address vestibular dysfunction, providing
  relief from symptoms that impact daily life.
• What is the Vestibular System?
• The vestibular system is a crucial component of
  the inner ear, responsible for maintaining
  balance, spatial orientation, and eye
  coordination. When the system is impaired due to
  injury, illness, or aging, individuals may
  experience dizziness, nausea, unsteadiness, and
  vertigo. Vestibular rehab at Hillcrest Physio is
  designed to retrain the brain and restore normal
  function through targeted exercises and
  therapeutic interventions.

Common Conditions Treated with Vestibular Rehab

• At Hillcrest Physio, we treat a wide range of
  vestibular disorders, including
• 1. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
• BPPV occurs when small calcium crystals in the
  inner ear become dislodged, leading to intense
  dizziness and spinning sensations. Through
  canalith repositioning maneuvers, our therapists
  help patients realign these crystals, providing
  significant relief.
• 2. Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis
• These conditions result from viral infections
  that cause inflammation of the vestibular nerve
  or the inner ear, leading to dizziness,
  imbalance, and nausea. Our rehabilitation
  techniques focus on gradual adaptation exercises
  that promote recovery and restore equilibrium.
• 3. Menieres Disease
• A chronic inner ear disorder characterized by
  vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and pressure in
  the ear. Vestibular rehab can help minimize
  dizziness and improve stability through a
  customized exercise program.
• 4. Post-Concussion Syndrome
• Head injuries and concussions can disrupt
  vestibular function, leading to dizziness,
  headaches, and cognitive impairment. At Hillcrest
  Physio, we offer personalized post-concussion
  rehabilitation programs to help patients recover
  fully.
• 5. Chronic Dizziness and Imbalance
• Individuals experiencing persistent dizziness or
  unsteadiness may benefit from vestibular
  rehabilitation therapy, which helps the brain
  compensate for inner ear dysfunction.

How Vestibular Rehab Works at Hillcrest Physio

• Vestibular rehabilitation therapy involves a
  comprehensive assessment and a tailored treatment
  plan to address specific vestibular issues. Our
  approach includes
• 1. Initial Assessment

  evaluation that includes
• Medical history review
• Vestibular function tests
• Balance and gait assessment
• Eye movement and coordination tests
• 2. Personalized Treatment Plan
• Based on the assessment, we develop an
  individualized rehab program that may include
• Canalith Repositioning Techniques
• For patients with BPPV, we use specialized
  maneuvers such as the Epley maneuver, which helps
  reposition displaced inner ear crystals and
  alleviate vertigo.

Benefits of Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy

• 1. Reduced Dizziness and Vertigo
• VRT effectively minimizes symptoms of dizziness,
  allowing patients to regain control over their
  daily activities.
• 2. Improved Balance and Coordination
• Through balance retraining exercises, patients
  experience enhanced postural stability and
  reduced fall risk.
• 3. Increased Mobility and Independence
• Individuals suffering from vestibular disorders
  often limit their movements due to fear of
  dizziness. VRT helps restore confidence and
  improve mobility.
• 4. Faster Recovery After Concussion or Injury
• For patients recovering from head trauma or inner
  ear infections, vestibular rehab speeds up the
  healing process.
