Vestibular Rehab in Abbotsford - Hillcrestphysio
                     
What Is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is a specialized form of physical 
therapy aimed at alleviating symptoms caused by inner ear disorders. 
The vestibular system, located in the inner ear, is responsible for 
maintaining balance and spatial orientation. When it malfunctions, 
individuals may experience vertigo, dizziness, nausea, and difficulties 
with coordination and focus.
At Hillcrestphysio, we customize VRT programs tailored to each 
patient’s condition, ensuring an individualized plan that focuses on 
promoting central nervous system compensation for inner ear deficits.

Common Vestibular Disorders 
We Treat
Our clinic in Abbotsford specializes in treating a range of vestibular conditions, including:
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
Characterized by brief episodes of vertigo triggered by changes in head position. We use specific repositioning 
maneuvers like the Epley Maneuver to dislodge calcium crystals in the inner ear that cause these symptoms.
Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis
Viral infections that inflame the vestibular nerve, causing prolonged dizziness and imbalance. VRT helps to restore 
normal function and retrain the brain to compensate.
Meniere’s Disease
A chronic disorder causing vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. While medical management is essential, vestibular 
rehab improves balance and reduces episodes of dizziness.
Post-Concussion Syndrome
Many people suffer vestibular symptoms after a head injury. Our rehab strategies focus on reducing dizziness, 
improving gaze stabilization, and restoring equilibrium.
Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)
A functional disorder characterized by non-vertiginous dizziness and imbalance, often triggered by visual 
complexity. VRT combined with behavioral therapy yields great results.
