Howdoesvestibular rehabilitation therapy work?

Dizziness and balance go hand-in-hand. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy helps you manage dizziness symptoms, including imbalance. To understand how therapy works, it may help to know more about why you mayfeelvery dizzy and howyour body manages balance.

Dizziness :
Dizziness happens when something affects your sense of spatial orientation. Spatial orientation is your brain calculating the position of your body in relation to your surroundings. When that happens, you may feel woozy or lightheaded. You also may feel unsteady, as if you’ve lost your sense of balance.

Balance:
Your sense of balance relies on the relationship between your central nervous system (brain) and your sensory system.

Your sensory system includes:
Your vestibular labyrinth in your inner ear:
This includes your semicircular canals (loops), which
react when you turn your head, and otolith organs that react to gravity and movement.
Your vision:
Your eyes send your brain impulses that show where your body is in relation to other
objects.
Your skin, joints and muscles:
Whenyourbody moves, it puts pressure on your tissues. Your tissues send signals to your brain, telling it where your body is in relation to space. For example, if you’re standing up and you lean back, you put pressure on tissues in the back of your foot and lower leg. That pressure lets your brain know you’re leaning instead of standing straight.
