Vestibular Therapist

About

Vestibular rehabilitation is a unique branch of physiotherapy that deals with the assessment and treatment of clients with dizziness and balance dysfunction related to disorders of the vestibular (inner ear) system, central nervous system or general deconditioning. The treatment helps to enhance the nerve pathways between the inner ear, the eyes, the brain and spinal cord by using specific techniques and exercises that combine eye and head movements and challenges to one's balance. Melinda is a registered Physical Therapist who is interested in assessing people with dizziness, providing vestibular rehabilitation and concussion management.  Melinda has taken extensive courses in vestibular and concussion management.  She is a member of the Vestibular Disorders Association (VEDA).
