Specialized care for dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders - precise repositioning techniques and gaze training delivered safely and gently in your own home.
Vestibular therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that targets disorders of the inner ear and vestibular system - the sensory network your brain relies on to know where your body is in space. When this system is disrupted by conditions such as BPPV, vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, or post-concussion syndrome, the result can be debilitating dizziness, vertigo, nausea, and unsteady balance. A vestibular-trained therapist uses clinically validated repositioning maneuvers, gaze stabilization exercises, and progressive balance challenges to retrain the brain's processing of these signals and restore stable, confident movement.
At Focus Rehabilitation, vestibular therapy in your home offers a critical advantage: patients with active dizziness often find travel to a clinic both difficult and unsafe. Your therapist can arrive ready to assess and treat, performs repositioning maneuvers on your own bed, and ensures you can rest comfortably immediately afterward - exactly as the clinical protocol recommends. This setting also lets us observe and address the real-life triggers - turning in bed, reaching overhead, walking down a lit hallway - that most affect your daily comfort.
Each session is structured around a careful evaluation of your specific vestibular impairment, followed by the most appropriate evidence-based technique to reduce dizziness and improve steady-state balance.
We test eye movement, positional responses, and balance to identify which part of the vestibular system is involved and select the right intervention.
For BPPV, we guide displaced crystals back to their correct position. For other disorders, we use gradual habituation exercises to recalibrate the vestibular response.
Head and eye coordination exercises help the brain maintain a stable visual field during movement, reducing the dizziness triggered by turning or scanning.
We transition gains into real activities - walking, reaching, and navigating your home - and provide a safe daily exercise plan to reinforce progress.
BPPV - sudden spinning sensation triggered by rolling over in bed, looking up, or bending down.
Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis causing persistent dizziness and unsteadiness after a viral illness.
Post-concussion dizziness and visual motion sensitivity following head injury.
Chronic imbalance and fall risk associated with age-related vestibular decline.
Dizziness and unsteadiness following stroke affecting the cerebellum or brainstem.
Ménière's disease-related balance disturbances and episodic vertigo management.
Driving or riding with active vertigo is unsafe. Your therapist comes to you so treatment starts without putting you at risk.
Canalith repositioning protocols are performed exactly where clinical guidelines recommend you rest afterward - your own bed.
Your therapist identifies and addresses the specific home movements - hallway lighting, stair angles, bed height - that provoke your dizziness.
Dizziness and vertigo are among the most disorienting experiences a person can have, and they often make leaving the house feel impossible. Focus Rehabilitation brings vestibular therapy directly to patients in Monroe Township and surrounding areas, so that the first step toward relief does not require a dangerous or uncomfortable drive. Your therapist arrives with the assessment tools and clinical expertise to evaluate your vestibular system in depth and begin effective treatment in the same visit.
Our in-home vestibular therapy is covered by Medicare Part B with no homebound requirement, and we serve Monroe Township, Freehold, East Windsor, North Brunswick, Manalapan, and Princeton. We confirm your insurance before your first visit so care can begin without delay.
Vestibular therapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that treats dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems originating in the inner ear or vestibular system. Your therapist uses repositioning maneuvers, gaze stabilization exercises, and progressive balance training to help the brain accurately interpret the body's position in space and reduce or eliminate dizziness symptoms.
Yes - BPPV is one of the most common and most treatable vestibular disorders. The Epley maneuver and related canalith repositioning techniques, performed by your therapist, can resolve BPPV in one to three sessions for many patients. In-home treatment is particularly effective because you can rest safely and avoid the dizziness that sometimes follows a car ride after treatment.
Yes. Vestibular therapy delivered by a licensed physical therapist in your home is covered under Medicare Part B with no homebound requirement. We verify your benefits before your first visit so you can focus on getting better.
It depends on your diagnosis. BPPV often resolves within a few sessions. Chronic vestibular hypofunction or post-concussion dizziness typically requires several weeks of progressive habituation and gaze training. Your therapist will give you a realistic timeline after the initial evaluation.
