Common conditions treated include:

    • Chronic dizziness and imbalance
    • Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis
    • Meniere’s disease

Functional Neurology and Vestibular Rehabilitation Physiotherapy

Treating dizziness and balance disorders takes more than regular therapy; vestibular rehabilitation physiotherapy based on functional neurology addresses the causes in the inner ear and brain. Through guided exercises like gaze stabilization, habituation, and balance training, it leads the nervous system to adapt, compensates for balance deficits, and restores stability.

This individually tailored, evidence-based approach is effective for a range of vestibular disorders, from peripheral vestibular impairment to central disorders, frequently accompanied by an interdisciplinary team of experts to achieve maximal recovery and quality of life.

How Vestibular Physiotherapy Works

Ever wondered how effortlessly you stay balanced every day? Most of us take it for granted until a sudden bout of dizziness or imbalance reminds us just how vital our vestibular system is. This system, located in the inner ear and connected to the brain and spinal cord, helps maintain balance, coordinate eye movements, and navigate the world with confidence. When it’s disrupted, even simple daily tasks can become challenging.

Vestibular physiotherapy is a personalized exercise program designed to retrain the brain and nervous system to compensate for balance or equilibrium issues caused by inner ear problems or neurological conditions. At StabilityLAB, our expert vestibular physiotherapists craft exercises tailored to your needs, helping you regain stability and confidence.

Our vestibular physiotherapy program can help you:

  • Chronic dizziness and imbalance
  • Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis
  • Meniere’s disease
  • Post-concussion balance disorders
  • Age-related balance decline and fall risk
  • Motion sensitivity and visual vertigo
  • Migraine-associated vertigo
  • Unilateral or bilateral vestibular hypofunction
