VESTIBULAR PHYSIOTHERAPY IN MARKHAM

Dealing with dizziness, vertigo, or a constant feeling of being off-balance can be overwhelming and deeply disruptive to your daily life. Often, these frustrating symptoms stem from an issue within the vestibular system —a delicate structure inside your inner ear that communicates with your brain to control balance, posture, and spatial orientation. At Form & Function Markham, our specially trained physiotherapists offer Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) to help your brain and body safely recalibrate.

Whether you feel like the room is constantly spinning, struggle with severe motion sickness, or are experiencing lingering unsteadiness after a recent concussion, you don’t have to live with the fear of falling. Our highly targeted approach is designed to reduce your symptoms, improve your stability, and restore your confidence in movement.

• BPPV Treatment (Canalith Repositioning/Epley Maneuver): Specific, guided head and body movements to reposition displaced calcium crystals in the inner ear, which often provides immediate relief for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).

• Gaze Stabilization Exercises: Specialized visual techniques to improve your focus while moving your head, reducing dizziness during everyday activities like walking, reading, or driving.

• Habituation Training: Gradual, controlled exposure to the specific movements, positions, or environments that trigger your symptoms. Over time, this helps your brain adapt and decreases its sensitivity.

• Balance & Posture Retraining: Functional exercises designed to strengthen the communication between your eyes, inner ear, and muscles to drastically improve your stability and prevent falls.

• Post-Concussion Management: Tailored therapies to address the specific dizziness, brain fog, and visual disturbances that often linger after a mild traumatic brain injury or whiplash from an auto accident.
