Dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues are common complaints among individuals of all ages. These symptoms can be triggered by various conditions, from inner ear disorders to neurological issues, significantly affecting daily life. At Sakra World Hospital, our Vestibular Rehabilitation Program is designed to help patients regain balance, reduce dizziness, and improve overall quality of life.
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy aimed at treating balance disorders, vertigo, and dizziness caused by vestibular dysfunction. The vestibular system, located in the inner ear, plays a crucial role in helping the body maintain balance. When this system is disrupted due to illness, injury, or aging, it can lead to dizziness, vertigo, and other balance-related issues.
The goal of vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is to reduce these symptoms by retraining the brain and the vestibular system to work together more effectively. This can improve balance, coordination, and reduce the risk of falls, helping patients lead more active and independent lives.
Our Vestibular Rehabilitation Program at Sakra World Hospital is effective for treating a variety of conditions, including:

Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialised form of physiotherapy designed to improve balance, reduce dizziness and help the brain adapt to problems affecting the inner ear or vestibular system. It uses individually selected exercises based on the person's symptoms and underlying condition.
It can benefit people experiencing vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, motion sensitivity or difficulty walking due to vestibular disorders. It may also help people recovering from certain inner-ear conditions, neurological problems or head injuries.
Vestibular rehabilitation may be used for conditions such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, Ménière's disease and persistent balance problems. The appropriate exercises depend on the specific cause of the symptoms.
Vestibular physiotherapy uses techniques such as repositioning manoeuvres, gaze-stabilisation exercises and balance training to address specific causes of dizziness. For conditions such as BPPV, appropriate repositioning manoeuvres can help move displaced inner-ear crystals back into their normal position.
Yes, vestibular rehabilitation can help reduce dizziness and improve balance, coordination and confidence during movement. Treatment is tailored to the underlying vestibular problem and the person's functional limitations.
The duration depends on the cause and severity of dizziness, the individual's response to treatment and how consistently exercises are performed. Some people improve within a few sessions, while others may require several weeks or longer.
Vestibular rehabilitation is generally safe when exercises are selected and supervised by a trained healthcare professional. Some exercises may temporarily increase dizziness as the brain adapts, but treatment should be adjusted if symptoms are severe or persistent.
Vestibular physiotherapy is available at specialised rehabilitation and physiotherapy centres across Bangalore. Sakra World Hospital provides rehabilitation services that include assessment and management of balance and vestibular-related problems.
