FAQ for patients

Do you suffer from dizziness or balance disorders? Here you will find answers about treatment methods according to the IVRT® standard, health insurance coverage, and how to quickly find specialized therapists near you.

Through our interactive Therapist search On our website you can quickly find certified therapists in all regions of Austria – including major cities such as Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck & Klagenfurt. All listed therapists have completed comprehensive training in vestibular rehabilitation.

Yes, provided that the vertigo therapy takes place as part of medically prescribed physiotherapy or occupational therapy. Billing is handled either directly through contracted therapists of the respective health insurance fund (e.g., ÖGK, SVS, BVAEB) or as part of elective therapy. With elective therapists, you first pay the invoice yourself and then submit it to your health insurance provider for a partial refund.

For a treatment to be paid for or subsidized by health insurance, a medical prescription for physiotherapy or occupational therapy is strictly required. With many insurance companies, prior approval of the prescription by a medical officer is also necessary. Regardless of this, you can also inquire directly at many practices about preventive consultation or self-pay services, which you cover entirely privately.

Therapy according to the IVRT® standard is based on strictly evidence-based and active approaches. Our certified physiotherapists and occupational therapists in Austria use standardized, scientifically validated tests and create customized exercises for gaze stabilization, balance training, and specific repositioning maneuvers for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).

Specialized therapists treat a wide range of vestibular disorders. These include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD), Ménière's disease, vestibular migraine, unilateral or bilateral vestibular hypofunction, as well as central vestibular disorders and age-related gait instability.

In addition to our in-person foundation courses, we offer specialized advanced courses:

In person: Advanced courses on topics such as BPPV, PPPD, concussion, oculomotor disorders, and central vestibular disorders.

Online only (after completing the basic course): Advanced modules covering anatomy, physiology, pathology, balance, spontaneous nystagmus, oculomotor function, and BPPV.
