Vertigo

Vertigo can make you feel like the world is spinning, even when you're standing still. At Access Physical Therapy, we specialize in vestibular rehabilitation to help you regain balance, reduce dizziness, and feel grounded again—safely and confidently.

What It Is

Vertigo is often caused by issues in the inner ear or vestibular system, which helps your brain interpret movement and spatial orientation. It may feel like:

• Spinning or swaying sensations

• Loss of balance

• Lightheadedness or nausea

• Difficulty walking in a straight line

• Visual disturbance or "motion sensitivity"

Common causes include:

• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

• Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis

• Inner ear dysfunction

• Post-concussion syndrome

• Balance disorders related to aging

What to Expect

We begin with a detailed assessment to identify the underlying cause of your vertigo. From there, we develop a custom vestibular rehab plan that may include:

• Canalith repositioning techniques (e.g. Epley maneuver) for BPPV

• Gaze stabilization and eye-tracking exercises

• Balance and coordination training

• Postural control and core stability work

• Gradual exposure to motion triggers

• Education on body positioning and symptom management

Our goal is not just symptom relief—it’s helping you feel safe and stable in motion again.

Who It’s For

• Individuals diagnosed with BPPV or vestibular dysfunction

• People experiencing frequent dizziness, imbalance, or motion sensitivity

• Post-concussion or neurologic rehab patients

• Older adults at risk of falling due to balance impairment

• Anyone unsure why they feel “off” or disoriented with movement

Why It Matters

Vertigo can affect your safety, independence, and quality of life. With vestibular physical therapy, most patients see fast, lasting improvements—often within just a few sessions.

We’re here to help you stand tall, move freely, and feel steady again.
