Summary

NYU Langone Health's Rusk Rehabilitation describes its vestibular rehabilitation program as physical therapy for people with vertigo of peripheral origin—vertigo originating in the inner ear's vestibular system, which controls balance and spatial awareness. Therapists create individualized rehabilitation plans based on hearing, sensory, and imaging test results, using physical movements to enhance the body's natural response to dizziness. The program offers balance retraining to improve muscle, joint, and vision coordination, plus gaze stabilization exercises that use specific eye movements to help eye muscles adapt. For benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), therapists perform canalith repositioning treatment—a series of head positions designed to dislodge displaced inner-ear crystals—and teach patients similar at-home maneuvers.
