The vestibular system plays a crucial role in your ability to perceive space, maintain balance, and coordinate eye movements. When this system is disrupted, it can significantly impact your quality of life. At Treloar Physiotherapy Clinic, we specialize in vestibular rehabilitation, a therapeutic approach designed to address the symptoms of vestibular disorders and restore your sense of balance and spatial awareness.
A vestibular assessment is typically 45-60 minutes in length. You’ll complete a questionnaire to help your Physiotherapist guide your treatment. A physical assessment may assess head and eye movements, balance and walking, motion sensitivity, and musculoskeletal function.
The vestibular system is the sensory system involving the brain and inner ear that contributes to spatial awareness, balance, and coordinates eye movements. Vestibular rehabilitation can help individuals experiencing the symptoms of vestibular disorders that often arise from head trauma (motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, falls), ear infections or pathology (i.e.: BPPV) or certain medications. Vestibular rehabilitation works to restore normal vestibular function and/or teach the central nervous system to adapt to decrease symptoms and improve quality of life.
Treatment for a vestibular disorder will vary according to the individual findings of the clinical assessment. Your treatment may include a combination of balance retraining exercises, special vestibular or habituation exercises, exercises for visual/gaze stability, a supervised home exercise program, and/or a repositioning manoeuvre for a common problem called BPPV (Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo).
In some cases, it is possible that a comprehensive initial assessment may aggravate symptoms of a concussion or vestibular disorder, so we recommend that you arrange to have someone ensure your safe transportation following the session.
We offer two time lengths for comprehensive assessments for Vestibular Rehabilitation. This is to give you the flexibility for booking according to your individual needs.
You also have the option of a subsequent visit or an extended subsequent visit, depending on the time your therapist determines is best suited for you following your initial assessment.
Enjoy hassle-free direct billing at Treloar Physiotherapy Clinic! We work with a wide variety of major insurance companies, to ensure your focus remains on your recovery, not the paperwork. Feel free to contact us for more information.

A vestibular physiotherapist is a healthcare professional who specializes in the assessment and treatment of vestibular disorders. They use specialized techniques to assess and treat balance, dizziness, vertigo, and other symptoms associated with vestibular dysfunction. Vestibular physiotherapists are trained to provide individualized treatment plans that may include exercises to fix vestibular conditions, balance disorders, coordination, strength, and flexibility.
Who Can Benefit from Vestibular Rehabilitation?
Individuals experiencing dizziness, balance problems, vertigo, motion sensitivity, or other symptoms related to vestibular disorders may benefit from vestibular rehabilitation. This includes those who have conditions such as BPPV, labyrinthitis, vestibular neuritis, or those who have experienced head injuries leading to vestibular issues. It’s suitable for people of all ages looking to improve their quality of life by addressing these symptoms.
How Long Does It Take for Vestibular Therapy To Work?
Vestibular therapy is an individualized treatment plan that is tailored to each patient’s specific needs. The length of time it takes for vestibular therapy to work will depend on the severity of the disorder, the type of exercises prescribed, and how often they are performed. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months for patients to experience significant improvements in their symptoms.
