Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy
If you suffer from vertigo or dizziness, it might feel like you’re trapped in more ways than one; you probably have balance issues, have a hard time doing daily activities, and maybe even feel demotivated to try anything new or go anywhere. However, there is a therapy that is very effective at treating both vertigo and dizziness and some of the medical conditions that cause these symptoms. Vestibular Rehabilitation, or VRT, is a unique type of physical therapy meant to treat visual issues, greatly reduce vertigo, and dizziness, and help prevent slips, trips, and falls.
At Evolution Physical Therapy, we have physical therapists who specialize in this distinct type of therapy and can start you on a customized regimen to relieve many of the symptoms caused by diseases that impact balance, gait, and general dizziness.

What is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) is a type of physiotherapy that helps people with dizziness and balance issues. By doing specific exercises and techniques, VRT teaches the brain to better manage inner ear problems. VRT is great for conditions like vertigo, vestibular neuritis, and post-concussion syndrome, helping you get back to your daily activities and feel more steady on your feet.
Benefits of Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy
The greatest benefit of VRT is the reduction of symptoms, but the effects during and after treatment can include:
- Improved balance
- Reduced feelings of vertigo or dizziness, or elimination of it
- Enhanced coordination
- Reduced dependency on medication
- Improved daily life
- Improved cognitive function
