Expert physiotherapy for dizziness, vertigo, balance problems, and concussion symptoms.
Vestibular therapy is a specialized approach offered at London Physical Therapy Clinic, designed to treat disorders of the inner ear and brain that cause dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, and other related symptoms. It's a key treatment for conditions like BPPV, Meniere's disease, and persistent concussion symptoms, helping you regain stability and improve your quality of life.
Vestibular therapy is a form of physiotherapy that involves specific exercises and techniques to improve balance and reduce dizziness. It focuses on retraining the brain to process signals from the vestibular system (inner ear) more effectively, which is crucial for maintaining equilibrium. Our evidence-based approach helps to desensitize your system to movements that trigger symptoms, strengthen your balance, and improve your overall coordination. It’s effective for a wide range of vestibular dysfunctions and neurological conditions.
Below are some of the most common conditions vestibular therapy can help treat:
Sudden, brief episodes of vertigo triggered by changes in head position. Vestibular therapy uses specific head maneuvers (like Epley maneuver) to reposition displaced crystals in the inner ear, providing immediate relief.
Chronic feelings of unsteadiness, lightheadedness, or spinning that interfere with daily activities. Our therapists work to improve your gaze stability, balance strategies, and overall confidence in movement.
Persistent dizziness, headaches, or balance issues following a head injury. Vestibular therapy helps retrain the brain and vestibular system to recover from the trauma, reducing symptoms and improving function.
Inflammation of the inner ear or vestibular nerve causing sudden, severe vertigo. Therapy helps the brain adapt to the altered signals from the affected ear, promoting recovery and reducing lingering symptoms.
Pain just below the kneecap is common in athletes who jump or run frequently. Shockwave therapy helps reduce tendon strain and supports collagen regeneration for long-term relief.
A chronic inner ear condition causing episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. While a medical condition, vestibular therapy can help manage balance issues and improve function between acute attacks.

Yes, for eligible patients, vestibular therapy may be covered by OHIP. This includes seniors (65+), youth (under 19), ODSP/OW recipients, and those recently discharged from the hospital needing physiotherapy. Private insurance plans may also cover it.
During some exercises, you might experience temporary dizziness or discomfort as your system adapts. Our therapists are trained to manage this and will guide you safely through each step. This temporary discomfort is a normal part of the process and indicates your system is retraining.
For conditions like BPPV, relief can be almost immediate after proper maneuvers. For more chronic conditions, you may start feeling noticeable improvements in dizziness and balance within a few sessions, with significant progress typically seen over several weeks of consistent therapy.
