Vestibular rehabilitation is a type of physical therapy that helps to improve balance, reduce dizziness, and reduce symptoms of vertigo. It is used to treat conditions such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, and Meniere’s disease. It involves exercises that help to retrain the brain to use visual and proprioceptive cues to help maintain balance and reduce dizziness.
