Finding Your Balance: How Our North End Vestibular Physiotherapy Can Help You Reclaim Control
Finding Your Balance: How Our North End Vestibular Physiotherapy Can Help You Reclaim Control
At Coastal Sports and Wellness, located right here in the North End, we understand how deeply unsettling dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues can be. That’s why we offer specialized vestibular physiotherapy—a highly focused area of care designed to help patients regain control, reduce falls, and return to their everyday lives with confidence.
Whether your symptoms have been sudden or lingering for years, our vestibular rehab team is here to help you steady your world—one step at a time.
What Is Vestibular Physiotherapy?
Vestibular physiotherapy is a unique branch of physiotherapy that targets disorders of the inner ear and brain that affect balance, coordination, and spatial orientation. Conditions like Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, and even post-concussion dizziness often stem from vestibular dysfunctions.
At our North End clinic, we use targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education to help retrain your vestibular system—your body’s built-in GPS and gyroscope—to work effectively again.
Why Choose Us for Vestibular Therapy?
We take pride in being one of the few clinics in the North End specializing in vestibular rehab. Our team doesn’t just treat symptoms—we dig deep to identify root causes and create personalized plans for your recovery.
Here’s what sets our approach apart:
• Comprehensive Assessments: We conduct advanced balance testing, oculomotor screenings, and positional maneuvers like the Dix-Hallpike test to pinpoint the exact nature of your vestibular issue.
• Neurological Integration: We understand how the brain and body communicate—and how disruptions in that communication can wreak havoc. Our treatments help bridge that gap.
• Real-World Rehab: From head movements and gaze stabilization to gait retraining and functional mobility, we focus on exercises that improve your actual day-to-day performance.
Who Can Benefit from Vestibular Physiotherapy?
If you experience any of the following, our North End vestibular therapy program may be right for you:
• Spinning or whirling sensations (vertigo)
• Feeling unsteady or off-balance
• Dizziness triggered by head or body movement
• Difficulty focusing or feeling “”foggy””
• Nausea linked to movement
• A history of falls or fear of falling
• Lingering symptoms post-concussion
These symptoms aren’t just annoying—they can deeply impact your quality of life. But the good news is that most vestibular issues are treatable with the right therapy.
Our Step-by-Step Treatment Process
When you visit our clinic, here’s what you can expect:
1. Initial Evaluation
We start with a full medical and symptom history, followed by physical assessments and balance testing. If needed, we collaborate with your family doctor or ENT specialist.
2. Individualized Rehab Plan
We develop a plan that may include canalith repositioning (like the Epley maneuver), habituation exercises, gaze stabilization training, and proprioceptive training.
3. Progress Monitoring
We track your improvement closely—adjusting your plan as needed to ensure progress and reduce flare-ups.
4. Long-Term Tools
Our goal isn’t just symptom relief—it’s empowerment. We teach you strategies to maintain stability and recognize future warning signs early.

We’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of patients in the North End overcome vestibular challenges. Some have gone from avoiding stairs and driving to hiking and biking again. Others have finally found relief after years of confusion and frustration.
