Our Approach to Vestibular Physiotherapy
Our Physiotherapists have advanced training in Vestibular Rehabilitation. We can differentiate where your dizziness is coming from, provide evidence-based treatment and self-management strategies, and support your vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive systems.
Symptoms can occur spontaneously or as a result of trauma or infection. Vestibular disorders can be dysfunction of the inner ear, the vestibular nerve or from head trauma. Your therapist will ask you a variety of questions about your experience of dizziness, vertigo, and/or balance issues to determine the source of your symptoms. Your therapist will perform different tests that may assess your head and eye movements, balance, motion sensitivity, and overall movement and strength.

The duration of a vestibular physiotherapy session varies depending on the patient’s condition and treatment plan. Typically, a session lasts 55 minutes for the initial assessment and 25-40 minutes for follow-up appointments.
During a vestibular physiotherapy session, your physiotherapist will perform a thorough medical history, discuss your concerns and goals, evaluation of your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan. The treatment may involve a range of exercises and techniques, including eye and head movements, balance training, and specific exercises to improve coordination and reduce dizziness.
The time it takes to see results from vestibular physiotherapy varies depending on the severity of the condition and your response to treatment. Some patients may see improvements after only 1 session, while others may require more extended treatment.
Most extended health insurance plans cover physiotherapy services, including vestibular physiotherapy. However, coverage varies depending on the insurance provider and the patient’s plan. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to determine your coverage.
A referral from a doctor is not required to receive vestibular physiotherapy. However, some insurance providers may require a referral for coverage. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to determine your coverage requirements.
