IVRT® therapist search
On the map you will find all therapists who have successfully completed the training to become a vertigo and vestibular therapist. Our therapists have spent 38 teaching units of 45 minutes each intensively dealing with vestibular disorders and vestibular rehabilitation.
This therapist directory is intended to help patients and doctors find a specialized therapist in their area. With a very elaborate measure, we have 'filtered' all certified IVRT therapists who are particularly motivated and have reserved extra free capacities for patients with dizziness and balance disorders for you as of 01.01.2024. This means that we only list colleagues in our therapist search who have the necessary motivation and capacity to treat you!
Click on this link "Medical prescription and health insurance reimbursement" for information on medical prescription and health insurance reimbursement. The text is only intended for patients from Germany. Please clarify in advance by phone/email whether you require a prescription for physiotherapy or occupational therapy! In Germany, both professional groups are trained and certified by us.
Patients from Austria and Switzerland only need a doctor's prescription for physiotherapy (or occupational therapy if applicable) in which "vestibular rehabilitation" is specified as an intervention. In Austria and Switzerland, however, the therapy is mainly carried out by physiotherapists.
Vestibular rehabilitation is an active therapy and consists 100% of active exercises! Passive methods such as massages on the head, neck or ear are not taught in our seminars and are not recommended by us, as such passive methods have shown no effect on vestibular problems in studies. Our therapists have various additional qualifications and therefore also offer other therapies. However, if you find a therapist using this card, we strongly recommend that you explicitly ask about vestibular rehabilitation!
And please make sure that you really have an appointment with the therapist named! We certify therapists, but not the entire practice. Some course participants give internal lectures so that other colleagues can also carry out the therapy. These lectures are given by therapists who have just learned the therapy and never match the quality & scope of our seminars.
