Vestibular Migraine Therapy Exercises
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is a special therapy used to reduce vestibular migraines’ primary and secondary problems. It’s an exercise program developed to reduce dizziness, vertigo, blurry vision and imbalance, and falls
The vestibular function restoration rate in people with this disorder is minimal because the damage is permanent. However, the program helps you become better and learn how to compensate for some functions. The brain learns how to use other senses to replace the damaged vestibular system.
Vestibular therapy is crucial in helping you resume the performance of activities of daily living. We create an in-depth custom-designed exercise program to help you deal with vestibular migraines through an oriented approach. The vestibular exercises focus on specific areas through:
- habituation
- gaze stabilization
- balance training.
Habituation Exercises
Habituation exercise treats dizziness symptoms caused by self-motion or visual stimuli. Patients with increased dizziness after changing a position often go through this therapy. It’s also appropriate for patients with increased dizziness in a visually stimulating environment.
This treatment is not applied to patients whose dizziness is not a result of visual stimuli or head motion. At OneRehab, we perform a thorough examination to determine the suitability of this vestibular exercise.
Gaze Stabilization
Gaze stabilization exercise helps to stabilize eye movement to clear vision during head movements. This therapy is for patients who can’t see clearly, especially when moving about. Patients’ visual to the world jumps or bounces when reading or trying to identify objects.
Balance Training Exercise
We use the balance training exercise on patients who need to increase their steadiness. We design these exercises at our neurorehabilitation multispecialty clinic to address your underlying balance problems.
