What is Vestibular Therapy?
The Vestibular system comprises your two inner ear organs, the vestibular centers of your midbrain and cerebellum, and the peripheral vestibular nerves. This system helps you determine your head position and movement and react correctly to the slightest changes. The inner ear organs, primarily responsible for sensing the head position and movement, are connected to your midbrain and cerebellum through vestibular nerves. These nerves transfer motion information from the inner ear organs to your brain for correct processing. Thus, any weakness or defect in your vestibular system will hamper your ability to respond suitably to any situation, adversely affecting your general lifestyle and well-being.

How Does Vestibular Therapy Work?
As mentioned earlier, our vestibular therapy programs in Surrey are customized as per the patient's specific needs. For this, a comprehensive assessment of your vestibular system is done. It consists of a thorough examination of your vestibular system and comprises the following steps:
​ Discussion about the history and nature of your symptoms
​ Utilizing infrared video analysis to assess eye movements
​ Testing for sensitivity to motion or position change
​ Evaluation of stationary and moving balance
​ Screening for more severe causes of dizziness, unsteadiness, or other symptoms
​ Performing tests on potential contributing regions, such as neck issues or blood pressure
The assessment is followed by several treatment options, including balance challenges, training to reduce sensitivity, eye exercises, and strategies for dealing with cognitive and psychological impacts. Based on the medical assessment, a package is prescribed specifically for you, comprising one or more of all treatment options available.
The experienced therapists at Surrey Sports Physio not only create a customized program for you but also educate you about the science behind these disorders, the challenges they may pose in the future, and the ways to overcome such challenges. We strive to strengthen you in every way possible. We understand that our effort in educating you will relieve you of even the slightest discomfort due to your vestibular condition.
