Our approach to vestibular rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized approach that aims to treat balance disorders, dizziness, and vertigo related to the inner ear's vestibular system. Our therapists assess your vestibular system and develop a personalized exercise program designed to retrain the brain to compensate for imbalanced signals, thereby reducing symptoms and improving your daily stability.

Vestibular rehabilitation techniques offered

Each program combines several therapeutic approaches tailored to your diagnosis and symptoms.

Canalith repositioning maneuver

Repositioning technique (Epley type) to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).

Habituation exercises

Gradual exposure to triggering movements to reduce dizziness sensitivity.

Eye-head coordination training

Coordination exercises to stabilize gaze during head movements.

Balance Rehabilitation

Targeted exercises to improve postural stability and reduce the risk of falls.

Sensory Substitution Strategies

Using vision and proprioception to compensate for vestibular deficits.

Home Exercise Program

Personalized routine to extend the benefits between sessions and accelerate recovery.

Post-concussion Rehabilitation

After a concussion, dizziness, visual sensitivity, and balance disorders may persist. A progressive program combining oculomotor, balance, and exertion tolerance exercises helps accelerate a safe return to normal activities.

Conditions Treated

We treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), labyrinthitis, vestibular neuritis, Ménière's disease, as well as balance disorders related to head trauma or aging. Our treatments also help reduce the risk of falls in individuals suffering from chronic dizziness.

Your Treatment Journey

From your first consultation to your recovery, here's how your care unfolds.

01

Assessment

During the first session, your physiotherapist analyzes your condition, assesses your range of motion, and identifies the sources of pain. This in-depth assessment lays the groundwork for targeted treatment.

02

Customized Treatment Plan

Based on your assessment, a personalized program is established: manual therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and specialized techniques tailored to your goals.

03

Monitoring and Progress

At each session, your therapist measures your progress and adjusts the plan accordingly. The goal: lasting recovery, with the tools to maintain your results long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions will be necessary?

It depends on your condition. Most patients see significant results after 4 to 8 sessions. Your physiotherapist will establish a clear plan during the initial assessment.

Do I need a medical prescription?

No. In Quebec, physiotherapy is directly accessible without a medical referral. However, some insurance providers may require a prescription — please check with your insurer.

Are my treatments covered by insurance?

Most private insurance plans cover physiotherapy. We issue compliant receipts for submission. CNESST and SAAQ are also accepted.

What should I bring to my first session?

Bring your insurance card, comfortable clothing that allows for movement, and any relevant medical documents (X-rays, MRIs, reports).
