VESTIBULAR

The vestibular system is part of the inner ear that provides feedback to the brain to create a sense of balance and spatial awareness. A disruption in this system typically results in episodes known as vertigo, a sense of spinning with little to no movement, or a general sense of unsteadiness. This can be a highly debilitating condition, creating fear of movement, particularly of the head and neck, as well as an increased risk of falls leading to other injuries.

At Ethos Physical therapy, our team of specialists will work to identify the cause of your symptoms and implement interventions to address them. This may be through repositioning maneuvers or exercises focused on improving the communication between the visual and vestibular system. We will also work on gait, coordination, and balance to reduce fall risk.
