Understanding the Vestibular System
How Your Body Maintains Balance
The vestibular system is essential for maintaining balance and spatial orientation. It includes two primary components:
- Central Vestibular System: Located in the brainstem and cerebellum, this system processes signals from the peripheral vestibular system and other sensory inputs like vision and proprioception to regulate your posture and eye movements.
- Peripheral Vestibular System: Located in the inner ear, this system comprises the semicircular canals, utricle, and saccule, which detect head movements and position.
Injuries, infections, age-related changes, or tumors can disrupt the vestibular system, resulting in dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues.

What is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)?
A Specialized Approach to Restoring Balance
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is a specialized program that helps your brain compensate for changes in the inner ear. Through exercises that incorporate sensory inputs from your eyes and muscles, VRT enhances your body’s ability to maintain balance, even when your vestibular system is compromised.
