Specialized vestibular rehabilitation to stop the spinning, restore steady balance, and help you move through your day with confidence - all in your own home.
Vertigo and dizziness are not just nuisances - they are leading causes of falls and injury in older adults. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), inner ear dysfunction, vestibular neuritis, and central nervous system changes can all produce a spinning sensation, unsteadiness, or a feeling that the room is moving. Even brief episodes can make it dangerous to walk to the bathroom at night or bend down to pick something up.
At Focus Rehabilitation, our therapists are trained in vestibular rehabilitation - a specialized branch of physical therapy that retrains the brain and inner ear to communicate accurately. Because we come to your home, we can perform treatment in the actual positions and movements that trigger your symptoms, making the therapy more targeted and effective than anything done in a clinic chair.
Your licensed therapist begins with a detailed vestibular assessment to identify the type and source of your dizziness. Treatment may include canalith repositioning maneuvers (such as the Epley), gaze stabilization exercises, habituation drills, and balance retraining - all tailored to your specific diagnosis and progressed at the pace your system can tolerate.
We test your gaze stability, positional responses, and balance to pinpoint whether your dizziness is inner ear, neurological, or multifactorial.
For BPPV, targeted head and body maneuvers move displaced crystals back to their correct position, often bringing rapid relief.
Controlled visual and head-movement drills desensitize your vestibular system and reduce motion-triggered dizziness over time.
Progressive standing and walking exercises restore confidence and stability so you can move freely without fear of a dizzy spell.
A spinning or tilting sensation triggered by head movements or position changes.
Unsteadiness when walking, especially in low light or on uneven ground.
Nausea or visual disturbance that accompanies dizzy episodes.
Difficulty focusing the eyes on moving objects or scrolling screens.
Feeling off-balance or foggy when rising from a chair or rolling in bed.
Avoiding activities - car rides, crowded stores, stairs - because of dizziness fears.
When the world is spinning, a car ride to a clinic is its own challenge. We come to you so treatment starts in safety and comfort.
We assess dizziness in your actual bed, chairs, and on your stairs - the same positions where your symptoms occur - for more precise, effective care.
After a vestibular session your balance is being retrained. We make sure your home is set up to support you safely during recovery.
BPPV and vestibular dysfunction respond best when treatment happens in the positions that provoke symptoms - your bed, your chair, your stairs. In-home vestibular rehabilitation means your therapist can apply the Epley maneuver and gaze stabilization exercises in the precise environment where dizziness disrupts your life, leading to more targeted relief than a clinic visit permits.
Sessions are billed through Medicare Part B - no homebound status required - and we see patients throughout Monroe Township, East Windsor, Princeton, Freehold, North Brunswick, and Manalapan. We verify your coverage upfront so nothing stands between you and faster relief from vertigo and dizziness.
Yes. The Epley maneuver and other canalith repositioning techniques performed by a trained therapist are highly effective for BPPV and can provide relief in as few as one to three sessions. Vestibular rehab exercises address other causes of dizziness over a longer course of care.
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy that retrains the brain and inner ear to work together correctly. It uses gaze stabilization, habituation, and balance exercises to reduce dizziness, improve stability, and restore normal daily function.
Yes. Our in-home sessions are covered under Medicare Part B just like an office visit, and we verify your benefits before any care begins.
