Vestibular rehabilitation benefits

Your specialist neurological physiotherapist at Manchester Neuro Physio will carry out a detailed assessment of your symptoms and problems. They may ask you to complete a series of head and eye co-ordination activities that will initially increase your symptoms in order to plan an appropriate treatment regime and home exercise program. Dependant on your symptoms, vestibular rehabilitation may include:

Home exercise routine
Neck and shoulder relaxation exercises
Gaze stabilisation exercises
Cawthorne Cooksey exercises
Dynamic balance exercises
Occulomotor tracking exercises
Integration of rehabilitative activity
Facilitation of return to normal daily routine
Epley or Semont manoeuvre and Brandt-Daroff Exercises (for treatment of BPPV only)
Use of gym equipment and gymnasium facilities

Vestibular rehabilitation may provoke the individual's symptoms initially but it is important to persist with treatment as over time, it significantly reduces or eliminates all symptoms. The benefits of vestibular rehabilitation include:

Reduction in symptoms of dizziness/nausea in the medium-term
Improves persistent or fluctuating symptoms
Improved postural control while walking
Improved balance reactions
Increased stamina ie. ability to read/walk for longer
Reduced dependence on vision for stability
Reduced risk of falls
Improved confidence
Reduced anxiety

Vestibular rehabilitation is a tried and tested treatment technique that can prove triumphant even when other treatment tools are unsuccessful.
