Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy in Huntington
You don't have to live with the room spinning. Targeted vestibular therapy retrains your inner ear and balance system so you can move through your day without bracing for the next dizzy spell.
What is vestibular rehabilitation therapy?
Vestibular rehabilitation is specialized physical therapy for dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems that start in your inner ear and the balance system that connects it to your eyes and brain. Conditions like BPPV, vestibular neuritis, and post-concussion dizziness throw off the signals your brain relies on to know which way is up, and the result is a body that no longer trusts itself to move. A therapist trained in vestibular care evaluates exactly which part of that system is misfiring, then builds a plan around specific head and eye movement exercises, habituation and gaze stabilization, paired with balance retraining that teaches your brain to compensate.
The goal here isn't teaching you to tolerate dizziness. It's reducing what triggers it and cutting your risk of a fall along the way. That distinction matters, because toughing it out is what most people try first, and it rarely works since the problem is a signal your system is sending, not a symptom to simply wait out. What sets this apart is the specificity. The same exercise that helps one type of dizziness can make another type worse, so getting the diagnosis right before treatment starts is the whole game, and it's exactly what a skilled evaluation is built to do.
Who it's for.
Dizziness gets dismissed a lot, written off as something to just wait out. If it's shaping how you move through your day, it's worth a real look. These are the people who walk through our door.
Dealing with BPPV or recurring vertigo
The room spins when you roll over in bed or tip your head back to look up. Specific repositioning and habituation exercises target the exact movement setting it off, not just rest and hope it passes.
Living with post-concussion dizziness
A head injury left you feeling foggy, off-balance, or seasick in situations that never bothered you before. We retrain the visual and balance signals so your brain stops overreacting to normal movement.
Worried about balance and falls
Especially as we age, an unsteady feeling on stairs or uneven ground is a real risk, not just an inconvenience. Balance retraining rebuilds the confidence and control that keep you steady on your feet.
What to expect in a session.
Vestibular sessions are precise, not generic. Here is how we find the pattern behind your dizziness and treat it directly.
Detailed history and testing
You walk us through what triggers your dizziness, when it started, and what it feels like. We test your positional and eye movements to pinpoint the specific pattern driving your symptoms.
Targeted exercises
Habituation, gaze stabilization, and balance retraining address the exact system that's misfiring. Some movements may briefly bring on the dizziness they're meant to treat, that's expected and closely monitored.
Progress and a home program
As your symptoms calm down, we progress your exercises and send you home with a plan to protect the gains and lower your chance of a relapse down the road.
Some testing positions may briefly bring on your dizziness on purpose, it's how we find the exact pattern to treat. Let us know your worst symptoms beforehand so we can plan around them.
