What is Balance/Vestibular Rehabilitation?

The vestibular system is part of the inner ear and is one of the three main systems used for balance. Problems with this system can lead to dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance and may result from viral infections, head trauma, stroke, tumors, high doses of antibiotics, or be due to age-related changes.

Our Director, James Gurley, DPT, offers 1-on-1, 60 minute sessions that:

  • Establish and track your goals for therapy.
  • Thoroughly evaluate your vestibular function and balance using a state-of-the-art infrared video system.
  • Create exercise programs to improve balance and decrease dizziness.
