Is this you?
You're in the right place if…
- The room spins when you roll over in bed or look up, and it's starting to run your life
- You feel unsteady on your feet — like the ground isn't quite where you expect it to be
- Moving your head too quickly triggers dizziness, nausea, or a sense of the world tilting
- You've had a concussion and your balance and vision haven't felt right since
- Your doctor mentioned BPPV, vestibular neuritis, or labyrinthitis and referred you to PT
What it is
How we approach Vestibular Therapy
Dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems can be terrifying — and deeply isolating. The world spins, you can’t drive, you avoid turning your head. Many people with vestibular disorders wait months before discovering that physical therapy is the answer.
Vestibular therapy at Arogya Physical Therapy addresses dysfunction in the inner ear and its connection to the brain and visual system. The most common cause of positional vertigo — BPPV — can often be resolved in just one or two sessions using a specific repositioning maneuver. Most patients leave the clinic feeling dramatically better, often within the first appointment.
For more complex vestibular conditions — vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, post-concussion dysfunction, or age-related balance decline — treatment involves a carefully graded program of gaze stabilization exercises, habituation training, and progressive balance work. The goal is to retrain your brain to interpret movement signals accurately, so you can move through the world without bracing against every head turn.
Available in-clinic at our Leander location, serving patients across the North Austin Corridor. Note: for vestibular evaluation, in-clinic visits are required — the assessment depends on observing your balance and eye movements in person.

Common questions
FAQ
How many sessions does vestibular therapy take?
It depends on the diagnosis. BPPV — the most common cause of vertigo — often resolves in one to three sessions with the correct repositioning maneuver. More complex vestibular conditions typically require a course of six to twelve sessions. Abhisha will give you a realistic timeline after your evaluation.
Is this the same as balance therapy for older adults?
Vestibular therapy and balance training share many tools, but they address different root causes. Abhisha will identify whether your balance issue is vestibular in origin, musculoskeletal, neurological, or multifactorial — and tailor treatment accordingly.
My doctor said I have BPPV. Will you do the Epley maneuver?
If your evaluation confirms BPPV in the posterior canal, the Epley maneuver or a similar repositioning technique is the first-line treatment. Many patients experience significant relief during or immediately after the first session.
I feel dizzy every day. How do I know if PT is the right approach?
If your dizziness is positional, brought on by head movement, or accompanied by balance problems, vestibular PT is very likely to help. Reach out and we'll talk through your symptoms — a free discovery call is a good first step.
