Anna Bagus
27 April 2020Walking in for the first time all the staff were very friendly and informative. Andrei was extremely educational and communicative during my entire experience. I felt some instant release in some spots but know there’s lots of work to be done. I Highly recommend Andrei, as soon as the session as done he emailed me some movements and stretches to do at home and prepared me for next session to save us time and get straight to work.

10 September 2024Yoon Mi is a wonderful Physiotherapist! I started seeing her a month ago for my shoulder and neck. Her treatments were very effective and the exercises she provided were very good. I'm finally on the mend. I would recommend Yoon Mi and the team at OPRC to everyone. Thank you so much!

What is Vestibular Physiotherapy, and How Does It Work?
Vestibular physiotherapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on treating conditions related to the inner ear and balance system. The vestibular system plays a crucial role in how your body senses motion and maintains equilibrium. When it’s not working properly, the result can be dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, vertigo, or balance issues that seem to come out of nowhere.
At Ottawa Physical Rehab Clinic, our vestibular physiotherapy program begins with a comprehensive one-hour assessment. During this session, we use evidence-based tests to examine how your eyes, brain, and inner ears work together to maintain balance. We identify the root cause of your symptoms—whether it's BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), vestibular neuritis, post-concussion syndrome, or other conditions—and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) uses a combination of:
- Gaze stabilization exercises
- Balance retraining
- Positional maneuvers
- Habituation exercises
- Functional movement training
This holistic approach helps your body adapt and recalibrate, reducing dizziness and restoring normal function.
Our Approach to Vestibular Rehabilitation
At Ottawa Physical Rehab Clinic, we don’t just treat symptoms—we treat people. Every vestibular physiotherapy journey starts with listening to your story. We want to know what you're feeling, when it happens, and how it affects your life. From there, we conduct an in-depth vestibular assessment to map out your unique challenges and goals.
Once we understand the source of your symptoms, our team crafts a custom rehab plan that evolves with your progress. You’ll receive one-on-one care from trained professionals who specialize in vestibular therapy. We’ll guide you through each movement, monitor your progress, and modify your program as needed to ensure maximum results.
We believe recovery is a partnership—your input matters. Our clinic is a space where questions are welcomed, fears are addressed, and healing happens at your pace.
Why Choose Vestibular Physiotherapy at OPRC?
If you’ve been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told to “wait it out,” you’re not alone. But there is a solution, and vestibular physiotherapy can make all the difference. Here are just a few reasons why people across Ottawa trust our clinic:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Our 1-hour vestibular assessment uses cutting-edge tools and clinical reasoning to identify exactly what's going on so we can stop guessing and start healing.
- Personalized Treatment: No cookie-cutter programs. Every rehab plan is built just for you, with exercises that target your specific symptoms and challenges.
- Long-Term Relief: Unlike medication that masks symptoms, vestibular therapy treats the root cause, leading to lasting improvements and fewer recurrences.
- Faster Recovery: Many clients report improved balance and reduced dizziness within just a few sessions.
Supportive Care: We don’t rush, and we never leave you in the dark. Our clinicians explain every step and walk with you from day one to full recovery.
What Can Vestibular Rehab Help With?
Vestibular physiotherapy is effective in treating and alleviating a wide range of conditions, including:
- Vertigo (including BPPV)
- Vestibular disorders
- Dizziness after concussion
- Motion sensitivity
- Balance and coordination issues
- Post-viral inner ear disorders
- Unexplained falls or instability

If you’ve been struggling with any of these symptoms, vestibular rehab may be the missing piece to your recovery puzzle.

Vestibular Rehabilitation Ottawa FAQs
The timeline for improvement varies depending on the cause and severity of your symptoms. Some people experience relief within a few sessions, especially with conditions like BPPV, while others with more complex issues may need several weeks of consistent treatment.
Your vestibular system often responds well to repetition and retraining, so commitment to your exercise program is key. Your therapist will continuously assess your progress and adjust your plan to ensure optimal results. Most clients report noticeable improvements in balance, stability, and dizziness within the first few weeks of therapy when following their individualized program.
Yes, vestibular rehabilitation is often a crucial part of recovery after a concussion. Many individuals experience persistent dizziness, light-headedness, or visual disturbances following a head injury. These symptoms are often linked to disruptions in the vestibular system, even if brain scans appear normal.
Vestibular physiotherapy can retrain the brain’s ability to process balance and spatial information, speeding up recovery and reducing the risk of chronic post-concussion symptoms. Treatment may include visual tracking exercises, balance retraining, and graded exposure to movement to help the brain recalibrate and reduce sensitivity to motion.
In most cases, you do not need a referral from a doctor to begin vestibular physiotherapy at our clinic. We welcome self-referrals and are happy to assess your symptoms directly. However, some extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes, so it’s a good idea to check your policy in advance.
If needed, we can also work closely with your physician or specialist to ensure coordinated care. Whether you come to us directly or through a referral, we’re here to help you get the answers and treatment you need.
