This therapy reduces your risk of falling and enhances your overall quality of life.
Understanding the Vestibular System
How Your Body Maintains Balance
The vestibular system plays a key role in maintaining your balance and orientation in space. It consists of two main 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, adjusting your posture and eye movements.
- Peripheral Vestibular System: Found in the inner ear, this system includes structures like the semicircular canals, utricle, and saccule. These sensory cells detect head movement and position.
Injuries, infections, aging, or tumors can disrupt the normal function of your vestibular system, leading to dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems.
What is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)?
A Specialized Approach to Restoring Balance
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is a balance retraining program designed to help your brain compensate for changes in the inner ear. By incorporating sensory inputs from your eyes and muscles, VRT helps your body maintain balance and reduces dizziness, even if your vestibular system is compromised.
