Vestibular therapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy designed to improve balance and reduce dizziness and vertigo caused by peripheral vestibular disorders affecting the inner ear, eyes, and balance receptors.

Following a comprehensive assessment of vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive systems, a physiotherapist develops a personalized treatment plan. This includes targeted exercises to reduce dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues while also addressing secondary needs such as strength, balance control, and neck stability.

Vestibular rehabilitation exercises are the most effective approach for symptom reduction, but consistent therapy is key. Over time, the brain rewires its communication with the vestibular system, requiring patience and persistence.

As a sports physiotherapist, Mariana also treats symptoms related to sports concussions and vestibular conditions requiring gradual exercise exposure.
