between the body, eyes, inner ear, and brain. During vestibular rehabilitation, your symptoms are deliberately provoked in a safe and controlled way so that your brain can adapt to them. The overall goal is to improve your quality of life by helping you adapt to your disorder, reduce your symptoms, and improve your overall function. Research shows that rehabilitation programs are most effective when they are individually tailored. Therefore, apps and exercise brochures handed out by doctors or clinics, which are not personalized, are not very useful.

The title 'vertigo and vestibular therapist' is <u>not<\/u> a regulated professional title in the DACH and BENELUX regions and vestibular rehabilitation is <u>a specialized field.<\/u>.<\/p><p>The quality and quantity of <a href=\"https:\/\/ivrt.de\/en\/fuer-medizinisches-fachpersonal\/vorstellung-der-ausbildung\/\">training courses<\/a> vary greatly and range from 1 to 2-day 'introductory' or online courses without practical exercises to more intensive competency-based courses with examinations. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/ivrt.de\/en\/fuer-medizinisches-fachpersonal\/vorstellung-der-ausbildung\/\">the IVRT\u00ae training<\/a> is 4 days, competency-based, with an exam and requires its <a href=\"https:\/\/ivrt.de\/en\/fuer-betroffene\/therapeutensuche\/\">specialized IVRT\u00ae dizziness and vestibular therapists<\/a> to participate in refresher courses and <a href=\"https:\/\/ivrt.de\/en\/fuer-medizinisches-fachpersonal\/online-kurse\/\">advanced courses<\/a>. The quality of the lecturers also varies greatly. While our lead lecturer has been working on the topic on a daily basis since 2012 and is a member of the renowned B\u00e1r\u00e1ny Society, there are unfortunately also lecturers who have only recently attended a course themselves or even just an online course without any practical practice.<\/p><p>You should therefore make sure to find out whether, and how well, the therapist is truly familiar with your type of disorder.<\/p><p>Reimbursement for vestibular rehabilitation varies greatly among health insurance providers in the DACH and Benelux regions. In Germany, Switzerland, and Belgium, costs are fully or largely covered by health insurance with a doctor\u2019s prescription. In the Netherlands, coverage is often limited in the basic insurance package, so an additional insurance policy is needed for full reimbursement of physiotherapy. In Austria, the system is quite different: patients usually pay for therapy themselves or receive only a small reimbursement from health insurance. Of course, in Germany, Switzerland, and Belgium there are also therapists who do not work with health insurance providers and set their own conditions. Therefore, it is important to find out exactly how billing and reimbursement work in your country and with the therapist you choose.<\/p><p>The first visit includes a comprehensive examination that allows the therapist to design an appropriate rehabilitation program. Some dizziness and vestibular therapists use special goggles to carry out a more detailed examination.<\/p><p>Search our <a href=\"https:\/\/ivrt.de\/en\/fuer-betroffene\/therapeutensuche\/\">IVRT\u00ae therapist search<\/a> for certified therapists with advanced training in vestibular rehabilitation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ea9d450 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-accordion\" data-id=\"4ea9d450\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:400}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\n        <div class=\"elementskit-accordion accoedion-primary\" id=\"accordion-69d0f210465e5\">\n\n            \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card\">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-0-4ea9d450\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-a6e330569d0f210465e5\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-a6e330569d0f210465e5\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-a6e330569d0f210465e5\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">Will I get dizzy during vestibular rehabilitation therapy?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-plus\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-minus\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-a6e330569d0f210465e5\" class=\"collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-0-4ea9d450\" data-parent=\"#accordion-69d0f210465e5\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p>The exercises should only cause a slight to moderate increase in dizziness for a few seconds. This short-term slight increase in symptoms helps the brain to make permanent changes to reduce dizziness in the long term. Gradually, your brain will adapt to the stimuli.<\/p><p>You have to be careful not to overdo it. It is not helpful to suppress your symptoms. Inform your therapist if you feel nauseous during the exercises, if you get a headache or if your symptoms do not return to their original level within 15-20 minutes. Your therapist will modify the exercises to make sure you tolerate them better. If you are doing an exercise and have no problems, the therapist will make your exercises more difficult.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card\">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-1-4ea9d450\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-d14d6b569d0f210465e5\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-d14d6b569d0f210465e5\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-d14d6b569d0f210465e5\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">How long do I have to continue with the vestibular rehabilitation therapy?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-plus\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-minus\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-d14d6b569d0f210465e5\" class=\"collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-1-4ea9d450\" data-parent=\"#accordion-69d0f210465e5\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <p>Vestibular rehabilitation and balance exercises do not normally need to be continued indefinitely.

Once these goals have been achieved, a 'maintenance plan' can be drawn up. This involves finding a physical activity that is suitable for you and that continues to sufficiently stimulate and challenge the vestibular system.

Some exercises are specific, for example, to reduce symptoms to certain movements or visual stimuli. Other exercises may relate to improving your participation in self-care, household chores, leisure activities, sports, driving or work.<br \/>A vestibular rehabilitation program may include the following:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Eye-head coordination exercises<\/strong><br \/>They help to coordinate the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). A well-functioning VOR enables you to keep visual targets in view even when your head is moving. There are several types of eye-head coordination exercises.<\/li><li><strong>Balance training<\/strong><ul><li><strong>Exercises to restore balance<\/strong>: These exercises are performed on different surfaces and with progressively narrower supports. They are helpful to improve stability and gait in activities of daily living and reduce the risk of falling.<br \/>o <strong>Balance exercises with eyes closed<\/strong>: These exercises help to reduce dependence on the eyes by 'forcing' the vestibular system to use more vestibular information.<br \/>o <strong>Walking training<\/strong><br \/>For example, walking and moving the head, both on firm and unstable ground.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Habituation exercises<\/strong><br \/>They serve to 'desensitize' the hypersensitivity of the nervous system. They help your brain to become accustomed to movements or situations that trigger dizziness in you. This is done through repeated, controlled exposure to the stimuli that trigger dizziness in you.<\/li><li><strong>Learn and practise strategies<\/strong><br \/>These will help you to deal with or avoid your symptoms.<\/li><li><strong>Breathing and relaxation exercises<\/strong><br \/>These exercises help to regulate the autonomic nervous system (the part of the nervous system that controls important involuntary functions).<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f01ac4f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1f01ac4f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-706f85 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"706f85\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-125a4cda elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"125a4cda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>What else can I do?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2a6e54 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e2a6e54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">I don't have the opportunity to see a therapist - what can I do at home?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b952bbc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b952bbc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Vestibular rehabilitation and balance training are most effective when you follow a series of exercises tailored to your specific needs by a therapist.
