Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physiotherapy designed to help individuals experiencing dizziness, vertigo, balance issues, and other symptoms related to vestibular disorders. The vestibular system, located in the inner ear, plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and spatial orientation. When this system is affected, it can lead to debilitating symptoms that impact daily life.

Vestibular injuries or disorders can affect people of all ages, though they are more common in older adults. Individuals who may suffer from vestibular dysfunction include:

• Older adults experiencing age-related balance decline

• Athletes or individuals recovering from concussions or head injuries

• People with inner ear infections or conditions such as vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, or Meniere’s disease

• Individuals with neurological conditions like migraines or stroke

• Those with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a common cause of dizziness triggered by head movements
