What is Vestibular Therapy? |
The vestibular system is located in your inner ear and controls your spatial orientation and sense of balance. Vestibular disorders usually cause symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, nausea, or vision disturbances. These types of disorders lead to slips and falls, more frequently than you may think. In fact, in Wisconsin, falls have surpassed motor vehicle accidents as the most common cause of injury-related death. Additionally, the majority of falls happen at home, largely to people above 65 years old.
Fall prevention therapy is a form of physical therapy that evaluates posture, mobility, strength and balance. A home exercise program is created based on your specific needs, with progress assessments every so often to assure your success. |
