Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy
Serving Whitefish, Montana
Vestibular issues, which affect balance, coordination, and spatial orientation, are more common than you may think! If you’re experiencing dizziness, vertigo, or trouble with balance, our Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) program is specifically designed to help you regain control and confidence in your daily activities.
Occupational therapists consider the impact of vestibular conditions on an individual’s ability to participate in meaningful activities, such as sleep, work, school, home tasks, outdoor recreation, exercise, and social interactions. The goal of vestibular rehabilitation is not only to alleviate symptoms, but also to enhance a person's overall quality of life by improving their functional performance in these contexts.
We offer a personalized treatment plan to address symptoms such as:
Dizziness or vertigo
Balance issues
Difficulty walking, especially in crowds or uneven terrain
Sensitivity to visual motion or environments
Nausea or lightheadedness
Difficulty with head movements or visual tracking
Our VRT program focuses on improving your vestibular system—the part of your inner ear and brain that helps control balance—through targeted exercises and strategies to reduce dizziness, restore physical stability, and enhance coordination.
