Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is a specialized exercise program designed to treat dizziness and balance problems caused by inner ear disorders or other neurological conditions. These customized exercises help retrain the brain to compensate for balance system abnormalities by gradually exposing patients to movements that provoke symptoms. The therapy focuses on improving gaze stability, reducing vertigo, and enhancing overall balance through repetitive head-eye movements, habituation exercises, and postural training. VRT is particularly effective for conditions like BPPV (benign positional vertigo), vestibular neuritis, and chronic imbalance. Treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s specific needs based on a thorough evaluation, with measurable progress tracked through symptom improvement and functional gains. As a drug-free approach, vestibular rehabilitation offers a safe and effective way to restore stability and reduce dizziness in most patients with persistent balance disorders.
