Vestibular Therapy at Hillcrest in Abbotsford - Hillcrestphysio
                     
What Is Vestibular Therapy
Vestibular therapy, also known as vestibular rehabilitation therapy 
(VRT), is a customized form of physical therapy aimed at 
alleviating symptoms caused by inner ear and central nervous 
system disorders. These conditions disrupt balance, spatial 
orientation, and equilibrium—often resulting in dizziness, nausea, 
blurred vision, and unsteadiness.
At Hillcrest Physiotherapy, our therapists are trained to evaluate 
the complex vestibular system, accurately diagnose the root cause 
of symptoms, and create tailored treatment plans to reduce or 
eliminate them.

Our Comprehensive Vestibular Therapy Approach
At Hillcrest Physiotherapy, we believe in precision-based, patient-centered care. Each vestibular therapy program is designed to fit the individual’s symptoms, goals, 
and lifestyle. Our step-by-step approach includes:
1. In-Depth Vestibular Assessment
Every patient begins with a comprehensive vestibular evaluation that includes:
Medical and symptom history
Oculomotor and gaze stability testing
Balance and gait assessment
We utilize clinical tools such as the Dix-Hallpike maneuver, Dynamic Visual Acuity Test (DVAT), and Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (CTSIB) to accurately 
pinpoint dysfunction.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan
Following the assessment, our physiotherapists develop a custom vestibular rehabilitation plan. Depending on the diagnosis, your plan may include:
Canalith repositioning maneuvers (e.g., Epley, Semont)
Gaze stabilization exercises
Balance retraining and proprioception training
Habituation exercises for motion sensitivity
3. Progressive Monitoring and Adjustments
At Hillcrestphysio, we continuously monitor your progress through standardized outcome measures like the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and Berg Balance Scale 
(BBS). Therapy intensity and exercises are adjusted to ensure consistent improvements and long-term success.
