Patients suffering from vestibular disorders often experience:
- Lightheadedness or dizziness
- Positional or persistent vertigo
- Nausea
- Impaired postural control
- Motion sensitivity
While many leave their symptoms untreated, vestibular therapy may help those who wish to find relief, vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is one solution. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy helps you manage dizziness symptoms, including imbalance.

How long is a typical vestibular rehabilitation program?
This is very patient dependent. How many therapy treatments each person needs depends on symptom causation as well as their response to therapy. A common treatment plan involves 6-8 weekly sessions, but some may only need 1-2 sessions. On occasion, individuals will need several months of ongoing treatment, including doing maintenance home exercises on their own. We recommend you consult with your physical therapist at your evaluation regarding proper dosage of treatment.
