Your Path to a More Balanced Life!
At Moves You Physiotherapy, we specialize in Vestibular Rehabilitation—a dedicated physiotherapy service aimed at reducing the symptoms of vestibular disorders. These disorders are typically characterized by symptoms of vertigo, dizziness, visual disturbance, and balance problems. Among the vestibular disorders we treat, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common conditions.
If you’re experiencing sudden bouts of dizziness triggered by changes in the position of your head, you might be suffering from BPPV. This condition, often distressing and inconvenient, can significantly interfere with your daily activities. But with our Vestibular Rehabilitation service in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, you can effectively manage and overcome BPPV.
BPPV is a common cause of vertigo – a sudden sensation of spinning or feeling as if the inside of your head is spinning. This condition can be triggered by simple positional changes such as lying down, bending forward, or even looking up. Such positional vertigo can be unnerving and result in a loss of balance, increasing the risk of falls.
The occurrence of BPPV is related to a disruption in the inner ear, where tiny calcium crystals become dislodged and travel into the spinning sensors in the ear. These sensors are key to maintaining your body’s balance, and the dislodged crystals interfere with this, causing the feeling of vertigo.
The good news is, at Moves You Physiotherapy, our trained therapists provide effective Vestibular Rehabilitation services that can mitigate the symptoms of BPPV and improve your balance and spatial orientation. These services involve exercises and procedures designed to promote central nervous system compensation for inner ear deficits.
Our rehabilitation process begins with a comprehensive assessment of your health history and the symptoms you’re currently experiencing. This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. By using a series of head maneuvers, our therapists can reposition the crystals in your inner ear to their correct location, reducing the symptoms of vertigo.
Our team consists of certified physiotherapists, trained in vestibular rehabilitation therapy, committed to offering relief and improving your quality of life. Our treatment strategies are evidence-based, aimed at improving balance, reducing falls, and reducing symptoms of dizziness and vertigo.
At Moves You Physiotherapy, we understand that every patient is unique. Hence, we ensure personalized care for everyone who walks through our doors. Based on your assessment, we tailor the vestibular rehabilitation therapy, using a combination of specific exercises and manual therapy, to ensure the best outcomes.

What Exactly Is Vestibular Rehabilitation?
Vestibular Rehabilitation is a specialized physiotherapy approach designed to alleviate symptoms caused by vestibular disorders. It includes specific exercises that result in gaze and gait stabilization and, ultimately, reduced symptoms.
What Causes BPPV?
BPPV is typically caused by a minor or severe blow to the head. Other causes can include damage inside the ear (like from an ear infection), degeneration of inner ear hair cells due to aging, or for reasons that are still unknown.
How Long Does Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy Take?
While it varies by individual, most people with BPPV see significant improvement with just one to three sessions. However, some people may need ongoing treatment to manage the symptoms.
Can Vestibular Rehabilitation Help With Other Types of Dizziness?
Yes, Vestibular Rehabilitation can also help alleviate symptoms of other vestibular disorders and not just BPPV.
