Vestibular Therapy

What is Vestibular Therapy?

Vestibular therapy, also known as vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT), is a clinically proven treatment for conditions like vertigo, dizziness, balance problems, and vestibular disorders. This personalized therapy retrains your brain and body to respond appropriately to changes in movement and position.

At Fortify Physical Therapy, we customize each vestibular treatment plan to meet your specific symptoms, medical history, and recovery goals
