Vestibular issues can quickly impact your daily life and the activities you enjoy. Some individuals may even begin to isolate themselves as they fear experiencing symptoms at inconvenient times. Complications that may arise from vestibular difficulties and without vestibular rehab include decreased activity, poor focus, movement issues, isolation, depression, and anxiety.
During your initial assessment for vestibular rehab, it’s very common to have increased symptoms. This is because your therapist is testing your movements and more to see what causes these symptoms to arise. From there, this allows your therapist to determine the best treatment for you.
While a doctor’s referral isn’t necessary, we often recommend that vestibular rehab patients book a visit with their doctor prior to booking any physiotherapy approaches. This can help your doctor rule out any other potential causes, as well as more clearly define your difficulties and needs.
