Vestibular Therapy
Okanagan Health & Performance
Restoring Balance and Overcoming Dizziness.
Form of rehabilitation designed to treat dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders caused by issues in the inner ear or vestibular system. Dizziness and loss of balance can be incredibly disorienting and life-altering. Vestibular Therapy is a specialized exercise-based program designed to improve balance and reduce dizziness-related problems.
By retraining the brain to process signals from the inner ear in coordination with vision and proprioception, we help you regain your steady footing and confidence.

Who We Treat
We typically use Shockwave for patients who feel “stuck” in their recovery, including:
Vertigo Patients
Specifically those with BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) where the world feels like it's spinning.
Concussion Recoveries
Individuals experiencing lingering balance issues or "brain fog" after a head injury.
Age-Related Balance Issues
Seniors looking to prevent falls and improve their stability during daily activities.
Our Approach
- Root-Cause Diagnosis: We perform detailed vestibular screens to determine if your dizziness is coming from the inner ear, the neck, or the brain.
- Personalized Habituation: We build a program that gradually desensitizes your system to the movements that trigger your dizziness.
What Treatment Looks Like
- Canalith Repositioning (Epley Maneuver): Specific head movements used to clear “crystals” from the inner ear canals to stop vertigo instantly.
- Gaze Stabilization: Exercises that help your eyes and inner ear work together to keep your vision clear while your head is moving.
