Vestibular rehabilitation therapy, or VRT, is a specialized form of exercise-based therapy designed to alleviate both primary and secondary symptoms of vestibular disorders. VRT uses specific head, body, and eye exercises designed to retrain the brain to recognize and process signals from the inner ear and coordinate them with information from our eyes and muscles....
No actionable clinical change beyond established practice; VRT is already a recommended first-line approach for many vestibular disorders, and this article does not introduce new evidence or protocols.
Patient-facing summaries of VRT evidence can improve adherence and set realistic expectations, supporting outcomes in vestibular rehabilitation programmes.
- 01Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) uses head, body, and eye exercises to retrain the brain after inner-ear injury.
- 02The article describes both evidence-based and less-supported VRT approaches.
- 03Content is educational and patient-oriented, not a systematic review or clinical guideline.
- 04VRT is already widely accepted as a first-line treatment for most chronic vestibular disorders.
VRT exercises involving head, body, and eye movements are evidence-based treatments for primary and secondary vestibular disorder symptoms.
