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
  • Our physiotherapists conduct a detailed
    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.
