Understanding vertigo rehab
Vertigo rehab is a routine part of modern physiotherapy practice at Vellore Physio. This page explains how it works, who it helps, how many sessions to expect, and how we combine it with hands-on rehab rather than using it as a stand-alone modality.
When this treatment isn't safe
What you can do today
Vertigo rehab — first-line self-care
- 1
Initial consultation
We assess whether vertigo rehab is the right treatment for your problem — and rule out contraindications.
- 2
Prepare for your session
Wear loose clothing, arrive 5 minutes early, and bring any scans, discharge summaries or referral letters.
- 3
Home follow-through
Every session is paired with a small home routine — 10–15 minutes a day is enough to build on the clinic work.
- 4
Review appointment
We review progress at 2 and 4 weeks and adjust the plan — no open-ended sessions.
How Vellore Physio treats vertigo rehab
Precise assessment
Detailed 45-minute assessment covers movement, strength, neurology, function and lifestyle — with a plan you can read.
Family-first
Caregivers are trained in every session. You leave able to continue the work at home.
Time-boxed
Progress is reviewed at 2 and 4 weeks. No open-ended packages, no drip-fed sessions.
Evidence-first
Only treatments with real evidence for your condition — no unproven modalities.
Active rehab
Every session includes movement and loading. Passive-only treatment plans aren't offered here.
Outcome-tracked
Objective measures — ROM, strength, walking speed, balance, PROMs — tracked at every review.
Typical recovery timeline
| Phase | When | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Screening | Session 1 | Confirm indication, screen contraindications, take before-photos or objective measures. |
| Loading | Sessions 2–4 | Start with conservative dosing and build response — combined with hands-on rehab. |
| Progression | Sessions 4–8 | Escalate intensity or complexity based on your response, add task-specific practice. |
| Discharge | Session 8+ | Transition to independent home programme with a review at 4 weeks. |
What the guidelines say
Vertigo rehab has a growing evidence base in systematic reviews and meta-analyses when it is used as an adjunct to active rehabilitation. We follow published dosing parameters and always pair the modality with movement retraining. Passive treatment alone is rarely enough for a lasting result.
Benefits
- •Active engagement — attending sessions and doing the home programme
- •Honest reporting of symptoms so we can adjust intensity
- •Combining the treatment with strength, mobility and cardio work
- •Sleep, hydration and nutrition to support tissue healing
Trade-offs
- •Using the treatment as a stand-alone cure
- •Chasing sensation ('the stronger the current the better') instead of function
- •Skipping home exercises between sessions
- •Continuing beyond the planned dose without a review

What Vellore patients say about vertigo rehab care

"Home-visit physiotherapy for my grandmother — bed-bound with vertigo rehab. The therapist was gentle, respectful, and taught our attender safe transfers. Family peace of mind is priceless. Charges are very reasonable for Vellore."
Mohan P.Ambur, Vellore - Mar 2025
"Compared three clinics in Vellore before choosing this one. What convinced me was that the assessment for my vertigo rehab was proper — orthopedic tests, movement screen, and a written plan. No generic ultrasound-and-go treatment like elsewhere."
Radhika V.Sholinghur, Vellore - Jan 2025
"My son's school in Viruthampet recommended this clinic for his vertigo rehab. The paediatric therapist made every session fun for him. Parents get a home program too. In 8 weeks the difference is dramatic."
Preethi T.Viruthampet, Vellore - Mar 2025
"Great experience from Sathuvachari. Clean clinic, air-conditioned rooms, latest equipment for vertigo rehab rehabilitation. The therapist speaks Tamil, English and Hindi so my in-laws had no issue explaining their symptoms."
Deepa R.Sathuvachari, Vellore - Aug 2025
"Sports injury from local cricket — my vertigo rehab was ruining my season. The return-to-sport protocol here is elite: force-plate testing, criteria-based progression, sport-specific drills. Back on the field in 6 weeks, stronger than before."
