Frequently Asked Questions About Vestibular Physiotherapy
Is vestibular physiotherapy effective for vertigo?
Yes. Vestibular physiotherapy techniques like the Epley maneuver can resolve BPPV positional vertigo quickly, often within one or two sessions. For other vestibular conditions like vestibular neuritis or PPPD, habituation exercises and gaze stabilization provide significant symptom relief over several weeks of vestibular rehabilitation.
How long does vestibular physiotherapy recovery take?
Recovery timelines vary by condition. BPPV often improves in 1-2 sessions with the Epley maneuver. Vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, and PPPD typically require 4-8 weeks of vestibular rehabilitation exercises. Your Pointe-Claire vestibular physiotherapist will outline realistic expectations after your assessment.
Will I feel worse after vestibular physiotherapy treatment?
Some habituation exercises can briefly increase dizziness as your vestibular system adapts. This is expected and typically fades within minutes. Your vestibular physiotherapist will progress exercises gradually to minimize discomfort while achieving effective rehabilitation.
