What is vestibular rehabilitation?


Vestibular rehabilitation is a type of physical therapy that is designed to help people with vestibular disorders, which affect the inner ear and the sense of balance. Vestibular rehabilitation exercises can help to retrain the brain to compensate for the loss of vestibular function, improving balance, and reducing symptoms such as dizziness and vertigo.

One common vestibular disorder that can be treated with vestibular rehabilitation is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). BPPV is a type of vestibular disorder that is caused by loose calcium crystals in the inner ear. When these crystals move out of their normal position and into the ear canal, they can cause feelings of vertigo, dizziness, and nausea.

Vestibular rehabilitation for BPPV typically involves a series of exercises known as the Canalith Repositioning Procedure, which involves moving the head and body in specific positions to help reposition the calcium crystals in the inner ear. These exercises can be performed by a physical therapist trained in vestibular rehabilitation or by the patient themselves under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

In addition to the Canalith Repositioning Procedure, vestibular rehabilitation exercises for BPPV may also include balance and coordination exercises, visual exercises, and habituation exercises, which involve exposing the patient to repeated movements that trigger their symptoms in order to help the brain become accustomed to these movements over time.

Overall, vestibular rehabilitation can be an effective treatment for BPPV and other vestibular disorders, helping to improve balance, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life for patients.

What are the symptoms of BPPV?


The symptoms of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) can include:

  1. Vertigo: A spinning sensation that can occur when moving the head or changing positions.

  2. Dizziness: A feeling of lightheadedness or unsteadiness.

  3. Nausea: A feeling of queasiness or the urge to vomit.

  4. Balance problems: Difficulty with balance and coordination, which can make it difficult to walk or stand.

  5. Nystagmus: Rapid, jerking eye movements that can occur when moving the head or changing positions.

Symptoms of BPPV can be triggered by certain movements of the head, such as looking up, rolling over in bed, or bending over. Symptoms can range in severity and duration, and can often be brief but intense. In some cases, symptoms may persist for several weeks or months.

It is important to note that these symptoms can also be indicative of other conditions, so it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis if you experience these symptoms. A healthcare professional can perform a series of diagnostic tests to determine if BPPV is the cause of your symptoms, and can recommend appropriate treatment.

Patient Reviews


The physical therapist came to our house and carefully reviewed our case. He designed therapies and strategies that have worked well for us. For example, my husband could not get off the floor by himself and I could not lift him when he fell. Together we learned techniques to cope with this situation in our home. Joshua designed fun and effective exercises to improve strength and flexibility. My husband can now get in and out of chairs and cars without help and walks more easily. Since we used equipment in and around the home, my husband can remember and apply what he has learned. Mobile Rehab accepted our insurance and worked out approval to provide services. We did not need a referral from our doctor. My husband and I highly recommend Mobile Rehab if you or a loved one needs physical therapy.Jerry from Pittsboro
I wanted to tell you how much better I think Mom is since starting your PT. She has been less off balance, quicker to equilibrate to standing, and has had more stamina. I also think she is less depressed and feels more accomplished. Josh has been prompt and polite, as well as engaging in conversation to make Mom feel at ease. Thank you!Karen Pool - Google Review
Kelly evaluated me and made some helpful suggestions. I look forward to working with her and improving my balance and muscle strength. Rita - Google Review
The physical therapist was punctual, understanding, flexible, determined and concerned about my recovery. I feel I received the best possible physical therapy from my home until I was able to drive myself to outpatient therapy. Thanks, Kelly for your concern and professional skills.Lois Reed Boswell - Facebook Review
Oh my goodness, I cannot say enough good things about my therapist, Jennifer. After having a complete shoulder replacement and being discharged by my doctor, he recommended that I could still need therapy to help get me back to “normal”. My friend in Asheville recommended Jennifer to me. I set up an appointment and Jen showed up, right on time, at my apartment with her folding table in tow. She was so knowledgeable about how my shoulder worked, the muscles, tendons and the rotator cuff. After working on the painful spots I complained about, she set up a plan to work out the stiffness and soreness. Now, after 2 visits per week for four weeks, I feel like a new woman. At her last visit, she gave me the coping skills I needed to keep my shoulder in good shape. I am so impressed with her work that I recommend her highly as my most favored therapist.Jane Cumby - Google Review
Deb's professional manner is greatly appreciated as she continues to help me maintain my mobility with a variety of exercises and movements. Her positive attitude during my sessions gives me a sense of well-being.Nancy C. - Google Review
Mobile Rehab has an excellent service for patients seeking physical therapy. They are truly professionals. I have been in physical therapy for over four months and have four torn muscles in my rotator cuff. In the beginning my physical therapist, Kelly Swimm, started out very gently. I was in a lot of pain. As time went on my right arm and shoulder began to get stronger. Now I have full range of motion. Kelly took it nice and slow, and after the exercises, I was usually in less pain than when I started out. She is an EXCELLENT Physical Therapist. When I finally got an MRI, Kelly knew the terminology. She showed me pictures of the rotator cuff muscles that were torn. Kelly was always on time; never late. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mobile Rehab and Kelly for anyone seeking in-home physical therapy. Having her come into my home was certainly a big plus. Regards, Kathie
