Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular therapy, also referred to as vestibular rehabilitation, is conducted through a process of “adaptation and compensation.” This means that the vestibular system is actually being “reprogrammed” through both passive and active therapies to form connections with the brain on adjusting imbalances and regaining stability.

NewStride Physical Therapy in Corpus Christi provides a comprehensive Balance/Vestibular Evaluation. We provide extensive, individualized assessments to determine the cause(s) of decreased balance and increased risk of falling. Posture, balance, strength, coordination and function are addressed.

An individualized program for each patient is designed to include ambulation training and a variety of exercises for strength, flexibility, mobility, balance and gaze stabilization. An individualized home exercise program along with education in fall prevention is provided for the patient and family members or caregivers. Plus, we help you deal with balance challenges in various environments, such as areas with curbs, uneven surfaces, dim lighting conditions, and changes in direction.

Our approach gives patients the tools to regain control of their lives, rebuild self esteem, and prevent falls.
