Vestibular & Balance Therapy in Stuart, FL
Regain Balance with Oceanside Physical Therapy
At Oceanside Physical Therapy in Stuart, Florida, our team provides specialized rehabilitation for patients experiencing dizziness, vertigo, or loss of balance. Our vestibular and balance therapy programs are designed to help restore stability, improve coordination, and reduce the risk of falls so you can move safely and confidently again.
Whether your symptoms stem from an inner ear disorder, concussion, or general deconditioning, our goal is to help you return to your daily activities with comfort and control.
What Is Vestibular & Balance Therapy?
The vestibular system — located in the inner ear — helps control balance and spatial orientation. When this system is disrupted by injury, illness, or aging, you may experience dizziness, vertigo, blurred vision, or unsteadiness.
Vestibular rehabilitation uses specific exercises to retrain your brain and body to process balance signals correctly. At Oceanside Physical Therapy, our clinicians use evidence-based exercises to reduce dizziness, improve stability, and restore functional mobility.
Common Conditions We Treat
Our vestibular and balance therapy program helps patients with a wide range of conditions, including:
- Vertigo and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
- Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis
- Post-concussion dizziness
- Meniere’s disease
- Motion sensitivity
- Age-related balance decline
- Chronic dizziness or lightheadedness
- Unsteady gait or frequent falls
We also work with patients who feel “off-balance” after surgery, illness, or extended periods of inactivity.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your therapist will begin with a detailed balance and vestibular assessment to identify which systems are contributing to your symptoms. This may include eye movement tests, head position maneuvers, and balance measurements.
Your customized plan may include:
- Canalith repositioning maneuvers (for BPPV and vertigo relief)
- Gaze stabilization and eye movement training
- Postural stability and balance retraining
- Strength and flexibility exercises for the core and legs
- Fall prevention and home safety education
Each program is individualized to your symptoms, activity level, and comfort — ensuring gradual progress and long-term improvement.

What causes balance or vestibular problems?
Common causes include inner ear inflammation, BPPV (displaced ear crystals), head trauma, aging, and certain neurological or vision-related conditions.
How long does vestibular therapy take?
Some patients feel improvement after just one or two visits, while others require several weeks of progressive treatment depending on the cause and severity of symptoms.
