How it works. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) involves exercises and techniques to retrain the brain and body to regain balance. Physical therapists play a crucial role in managing vertigo by helping patients improve balance, stability, and reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo symptoms 

How Physical Therapists Help with Vertigo:
  • Diagnosis and Assessment:
    Physical therapists can assess the potential cause of vertigo and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. 
  • Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT):
    VRT involves exercises and maneuvers to retrain the brain and body's balance mechanisms. 
  • Balance Exercises:
    Patients may practice standing on different surfaces, performing specific movements, or using assistive devices to improve balance and reduce the risk of falls. 
  • Habituation Exercises:
    These exercises involve repeated movements that provoke dizziness to help the brain become less sensitive to the triggering movements. 
  • Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers (C-RMs):
    Specific head movements are used to shift loose calcium crystals within the inner ear back into their proper location. 
  • Neck and Head Mobilization:
    Physical therapists can address any neck or head stiffness that might be contributing to vertigo symptoms. 
  • Patient Education:
    Physical therapists educate patients on how to manage vertigo symptoms, such as avoiding triggers, making slow head movements, and using strategies to reduce dizziness. 
  • Lifestyle Modifications:
    Therapists may suggest lifestyle adjustments to help manage vertigo, such as pacing activities, avoiding certain positions, and using assistive devices. 
  • Home Exercise Programs:
    Patients are often given a home exercise program to continue practicing and improving their balance and stability.
