Vestibular Therapy for Concussion Recovery
Concussions from car accidents, sports, or falls can cause vestibular system impairments that show up as balance problems, dizziness, and visual motion sensitivity. Our vestibular therapy program targets these specific symptoms with personalized, evidence-based exercises designed to help your brain and inner ear recalibrate after a concussion.
Comprehensive Evaluation Techniques
A thorough evaluation is crucial for successful concussion rehabilitation. Our skilled therapists use specialized tools and clinical assessments to help formulate precise, personalized therapy plans that address each patient’s unique needs.
- Evaluate current findings and symptoms.
- Determine the impact on daily activities using tools like the Dizziness Handicap Inventory.
- Assess ocular movements and points of convergence to tailor rehabilitation strategies.
Tailoring Therapy To Individual Needs
Recognizing that each case of vestibular dysfunction or concussion is unique, we tailor our approach to match the individual clinical profile of every patient. This personalized therapy may include:
- Range of motion and strengthening exercises.
- Specific vestibular exercises targeting deficits in balance and ocular reflexes.
- Strategies for coping with and reducing instances of visual motion sensitivity.
What To Expect On Your Path To Recovery
Recovery from a vestibular disorder or concussion can vary greatly depending on the individual’s condition and the severity of their symptoms. Throughout the rehabilitation process, we focus on:
- Gradually increasing the complexity of exercises as recovery progresses.
- Continuously adjusting strategies to maximize efficacy and comfort.
- Providing ongoing support and guidance to ensure confidence and independence.
How do I know if I need vestibular physical therapy?
If you are experiencing persistent dizziness, balance problems, motion sensitivity, or symptoms that linger after a concussion, vestibular physical therapy may help.

Some patients with BPPV notice significant improvement after just one or two sessions. Others with more complex vestibular disorders may take several weeks. Your progress is monitored and your plan adjusted throughout your recovery.
