Did you know that Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) leaves a lingering footprint even after the spinning stops? š
When someone suffers from recurrent BPPV, their world gets turned upside downāliterally. But what many don't realize is that even when the acute vertigo episodes are successfully treated, a hidden symptom often remains: impaired balance and a loss of movement confidence.
Studies show that post BPPV people also experience falls.
In this video we work on targeted balance training. šļøāāļø
Why is post-BPPV balance training so critical?
The "Software" Lag: The brain and vestibular (inner ear) system can remain out of sync, leading to a constant, subtle feeling of unsteadiness.
Fear of the Flare-Up: Anticipating the next dizzy spell causes people to stiffen up, shorten their steps, and avoid natural head movements.
The unwanted outcome: This combination drastically increases the real-world risk of falls. ā ļø
Our primary goal in vestibular rehabilitation isn't just to stop the spinningāitās to rebuild balance confidence. By retraining the body to trust its feet, its eyes, and its inner ear again, we reduce fall risks and help our clients reclaim their active lifestyles without fear.
That is exactly why this May 17ā23, Congruence is proudly supporting VeDAās official Steps-2-Balance Week! š£š¦© We are standing together to raise vestibular awareness and celebrate every single victory on the journey back to balance. Visit vestibular.org/s2b for more information.
