We Have Expertise In: Vestibular Rehab
Targeted exercises to overcome dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders.
Overview
Vestibular Rehab specializes in treating dizziness, vertigo, and other balance issues arising from inner ear disorders. The vestibular system plays a crucial role in maintaining stable vision and posture, and when disrupted, patients may experience spinning sensations, unsteadiness, or nausea. Our therapy uses repositioning maneuvers (like the Epley maneuver) and specialized exercises to retrain your brainâs response to changes in head position. Beyond manual maneuvers, we focus on eye-head coordination drills, balance exercises, and gradual exposure to movements that typically provoke symptoms. The result is a recalibrated vestibular system and significantly reduced episodes of dizziness. This targeted approach can be life-changing for those whoâve struggled with unpredictable bouts of vertigo or persistent imbalance. At Be On The Move, we serve vestibular patients across Palm Beach County, including Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Lake Worth, and Wellington. Whether your dizziness stems from BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), vestibular neuritis, or another condition, we tailor our methods to your specific diagnosis and lifestyle. By incorporating real-world scenarios, like turning quickly or bending down to tie your shoes, we help you build lasting resilience against vertigo and improve overall balance.

What to Expect
Your therapist will conduct a vestibular assessment, which may include specific positional tests to gauge which part of the inner ear is affected. Based on the findings, weâll apply repositioning maneuvers and design a set of exercises you can practice at home to continue retraining your vestibular system. Many exercises involve moving your head or eyes in particular patterns to help your brain adapt to stimulus changes. Over time, youâll notice less nausea when rolling over in bed or looking up quickly. We also incorporate balance training so you can regain confidence walking on uneven surfaces or in busy environments. Throughout the program, we track your symptoms and refine your regimen until dizziness and vertigo are significantly minimized.
