Vestibular rehabilitation, also known as vestibular rehabilitation therapy, is a specialized form of physical therapy used to treat vestibular disorders or symptoms, characterized by dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, and disturbed posture and vision. These primary symptoms can produce secondary symptoms such as nausea, fatigue and difficulty concentrating, and can significantly decrease quality of life, introducing anxiety and depression and greatly impairing an individual by causing decreased mobility, weaker muscles, less flexible joints and worsened stamina. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy can be used together with cognitive behavioral therapy to reduce the anxiety and depression that can result from the change in lifestyle.
