Vestibular therapy treats dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems caused by dysfunction in the vestibular system, the part of your inner ear and brain that controls balance and spatial orientation. Treatment typically involves specific exercises that retrain your brain to compensate for or resolve the underlying vestibular issue, rather than just waiting for symptoms to fade on their own.
Dizziness rarely has one simple cause, which is why a vestibular therapist here starts every treatment plan with a real assessment, not a generic set of balance exercises applied regardless of what’s actually going on. Whether your symptoms stem from BPPV, vestibular hypofunction, or another cause, we identify the specific issue first, then build treatment around it.
That precision matters because vestibular conditions respond to different techniques. We may use particle repositioning for BPPV, gaze stabilization exercises for certain balance issues, or habituation training for motion sensitivity, the right approach depends entirely on your diagnosis, not a one-size-fits-all program.
Your care is also never treated in isolation. If your vestibular symptoms are connected to a concussion or another condition, your vestibular therapist in Chilliwack coordinates treatment with the rest of your care at Mary Physiotherapy, so nothing is addressed separately from the bigger picture.
