Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)
is a specialized, exercise-based treatment designed to alleviate symptoms related to vestibular (inner ear/balance) disorders. By engaging in targeted exercises, VRT aims to reduce dizziness, improve balance, and enhance overall quality of life. The therapy focuses on retraining the brain to compensate for inner ear deficits, thereby promoting central nervous system compensation. Common exercises include habituation exercises to reduce dizziness through repeated exposure, gaze stabilization to improve visual clarity during head movements, and balance training to enhance steadiness during daily activities. VRT is most effective when initiated early in the course of vestibular dysfunction. With consistent practice, many individuals experience significant improvements in their symptoms and overall well-being.
