Vestibular Rehabilitation

Regain Your Balance. Reclaim Your Confidence.

At West Henday Physical Therapy, we understand how life-disrupting it can be to feel like the world is spinning, your body is unsteady, or simple movements make you dizzy. Our vestibular physiotherapy in Edmonton is designed to help you find stability again—physically and emotionally.

Do You Feel Off-Balance or Dizziness More Than Usual?

You’re not alone—and you’re not imagining it.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering:

  • Why do I feel dizzy when I turn my head or get out of bed?
  • Why does the room feel like it’s spinning even when I’m still?
  • Why do I feel unsteady on my feet when walking, even if I have no pain?
  • Can something be done to resolve my vertigo or balance issues?

These are everyday experiences for those dealing with vestibular dysfunction and they can significantly affect daily life. The good news? There’s help. Vestibular physiotherapy in Edmonton at West Henday Physical Therapy offers safe, structured care to treat dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems so you can move confidently again.

Vestibular Rehabilitation: Know What?

Vestibular Rehabilitation is a form of physiotherapy that treats conditions related to the inner ear and balance system. This system controls how we maintain stability and interpret our position in space.

Vestibular disorders can be caused by inner ear infections, head injuries, aging, or conditions like BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), vestibular neuritis, or even migraines. Symptoms can appear suddenly or build over time.

Vestibular Conditions We Commonly Treat

Vestibular physiotherapy at our Edmonton clinic addresses a wide range of vestibular disorders, including:

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
  • Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis
  • Post-concussion dizziness
  • Motion sensitivity
  • Chronic balance issues from aging
  • Migraine-associated vertigo
  • Post-surgical dizziness
  • Multisensory dizziness or vestibular hypofunction

Techniques We Use in Vestibular Physiotherapy

We use a variety of proven techniques and hands-on methods to improve balance and coordination and decrease dizziness:

Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers (e.g., Epley or Semont)

Used for BPPV, this technique helps reposition displaced crystals in the inner ear to stop vertigo episodes triggered by movement.

Gaze Stabilization Exercises

These improve the ability to focus during head movements, reducing symptoms like blurred vision or dizziness while reading, walking, or turning.

Balance and Postural Retraining

Exercises are designed to challenge and retrain your balance system. Includes standing balance, weight shifting, and walking drills to build confidence and prevent falls.

Habituation Training

A gradual exposure to motion or visual stimuli triggers symptoms. This helps the brain adapt and reduce its over-response to specific movements.

Neck and Head Movement Coordination

For cases involving neck stiffness or whiplash, we include neck mobility work to reduce tension that may contribute to dizziness and disorientation.

Home Program Guidance

Each person receives customized at-home routines to reinforce progress between appointments and encourage long-term success.

Vestibular Physiotherapy at West Henday

Personalized Attention Every Session

You’ll never be rushed or passed between multiple providers. Your vestibular physiotherapist takes the time to check in, track changes, and adjust your plan so it always feels right for your current state.

Clear Communication—No Guesswork

We explain each part of your care in plain language—what we’re doing, why it’s needed, and what it means for your daily life. You’ll always know what to expect and how it supports your recovery.

Gentle, Patient-Guided Progress

We respect your body’s tolerance. If something makes symptoms worse, we pause and adjust. You’ll never be pressured to “push through”—instead, we focus on steady, manageable improvements that feel empowering, not overwhelming.

A Calm, Private Setting for Treatment

Many vestibular clients are sensitive to noise, light, or motion. That’s why our treatment spaces are designed to be quiet, private, and calming—so you feel safe and supported throughout your care.

Whole-Person Support, Not Just Exercises

Vestibular dysfunction can be emotionally exhausting. If you’re also dealing with anxiety, fatigue, or post-concussion symptoms, we’ll tailor your sessions to address those too—or bring in our in-house psychology or physiotherapy team to help build a full-circle plan.

Vestibular Rehabilitation After a Concussion

Still feeling dizzy or disoriented weeks after a head injury? You’re not alone—and it’s not something to push through. Post-concussion vestibular issues can quietly interfere with everything from balance to focus to daily movement.

At West Henday Physical Therapy, our vestibular physiotherapy in Edmonton offers structured support for those navigating lingering symptoms after a concussion.

Treatment includes:

Eye-head coordination training

to recalibrate how the brain tracks motion

Neck mobility work

to reduce tension or stiffness that might worsen symptoms.

Pacing strategies

to manage energy and prevent symptom flare-ups during activity

This approach is especially helpful for students, athletes, and professionals working toward a return to learning, training, or working—without overwhelming the brain. We move gently, with your comfort and progress leading the way.

Helping You Feel Steady in Real Life

Vestibular rehab isn’t just about exercises in a clinic—it’s about getting you back to doing the things that matter with confidence and control.

That’s why we focus your treatment around practical, real-world improvements like:

  • Driving without nausea or lightheadedness
  • Shopping or moving through busy environments without motion triggers
  • Navigating stairs or curbs without hesitation
  • Getting out of bed or rolling over without feeling like the room spins

Your care is always personalized to the specific activities that challenge you most, so each gain in the clinic means something meaningful in your day-to-day routine.

Clear Tracking, Real Progress

Balance recovery can feel frustrating if you’re not sure what’s improving. That’s why we use simple, clear progress-tracking tools to help you see and feel what’s changing.

We track measurable areas such as:

  • How often and how intense your dizziness episodes are
  • Balance and coordination scores
  • Visual tracking and response times
  • Functional milestones, like turning in bed, walking through a grocery store, or walking in low light

By regularly reassessing, we adjust your treatment plan based on what’s working so you’re never stuck, and every visit builds on the last.
