What Is the Vestibular System?
Your vestibular system is a crucial part of your nervous system, responsible for:
✔ Maintaining balance & spatial awareness
✔ Controlling eye movement coordination
✔ Helping you walk, run, and stand safely
The vestibular system consists of two main parts:
✅ Central Vestibular System – Located in the brainstem and cerebellum, it processes balance signals and adjusts posture, eye movement, and coordination.
✅ Peripheral Vestibular System – Located in the inner ear (including the semicircular canals, utricle, and saccule), it detects head movement and positioning.
When this system is disrupted due to injury, infection, or aging, it can cause symptoms such as:
✔ Dizziness & vertigo – A sensation of spinning or unsteadiness.
✔ Hearing loss & tinnitus – Ringing or buzzing in the ears.
✔ Nausea & motion sensitivity – Feeling sick or disoriented with movement.
✔ Increased fall risk – Difficulty maintaining stability when walking or standing.
✔ Maintaining balance & spatial awareness
✔ Controlling eye movement coordination
✔ Helping you walk, run, and stand safely

What Is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)?
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is a customized exercise-based program designed to help retrain your brain and body to compensate for inner ear dysfunction.
At FYZICAL Metro West & FYZICAL West Orlando, our balance therapy specialists use targeted exercises to:
🔹 Stimulate your vestibular system – Helping the brain adjust to changes in movement and balance.
🔹 Improve coordination & mobility – Training your body to react properly to motion.
🔹 Reduce dizziness & vertigo – Helping you regain control and confidence in movement.
🔹 Enhance postural stability – Strengthening muscles that support balance.
VRT is proven to be highly effective in improving balance, reducing dizziness, and preventing falls.

Conditions Treated with Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy can help individuals with inner ear disorders, neurological conditions, and musculoskeletal balance issues.
At FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers, we treat:
Inner Ear & Vestibular Disorders
✔ Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) – Sudden dizziness caused by inner ear crystals shifting out of place.
✔ Labyrinthitis & Vestibular Neuritis – Inner ear infections leading to vertigo and nausea.
✔ Ménière’s Disease – Inner ear fluid imbalance causing hearing loss, vertigo, and ringing in the ears.
Neurological & Post-Concussion Conditions
✔ Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS) – Persistent dizziness, headaches, and balance issues after a head injury.
✔ Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) – Dizziness and instability due to brain trauma.
✔ Multiple Sclerosis (MS) – Coordination and balance challenges caused by nerve damage.
✔ Parkinson’s Disease – Progressive movement and balance difficulties.
✔ Migraine-Associated Dizziness – Sensory disturbances leading to motion sensitivity and imbalance.
Musculoskeletal & Age-Related Balance Disorders
✔ Neck-Related Dizziness (Cervicogenic Dizziness) – Balance issues due to neck stiffness or misalignment.
✔ Post-Surgical Balance Issues – Recovery from ear, brain, or orthopedic surgeries.
✔ Senior Fall Prevention – Helping older adults reduce fall risk and improve stability.
If you experience frequent dizziness, unsteadiness, or balance challenges, vestibular rehabilitation can help restore confidence and mobility.
