Vestibular balance training is a therapeutic approach aimed at improving balance, coordination, and posture in individuals with vestibular disorders, dizziness, or balance-related issues. The vestibular system plays a key role in maintaining balance, and dysfunction in this system can lead to symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, and unsteadiness.
The training typically includes exercises designed to stimulate the vestibular system, improve gaze stability, and enhance overall coordination and posture. Exercises may involve head movements, eye exercises, and balance training on unstable surfaces. Vestibular balance training helps individuals regain confidence, reduce dizziness, and improve functional movement, allowing them to return to daily activities.
This type of rehabilitation is critical for individuals with conditions such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, or Meniere's disease, helping them manage symptoms and improve balance.
