Ahh, the nuance of returning to vestibular rehab therapy (VRT) or… not.

There’s a recent episode where the focus was more on should you start VRT.

This episode has a slightly different focus in that this is more for the person who has gone through VRT before and “graduated.”

I don’t love the phrasing that you “graduate” from VRT. That word carries some finality with it, where—in reality—you may choose to return or even to try something different. And that’s perfectly ok and normal!

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

• Why it’s a misconception that I don’t like VRT
• Reasons you may want to go back for a VRT “tune up”
• Things you should be learning throughout VRT
• What management looks like outside of rehab
• How VRT can actually help you learn to “scale” life
• What to be mindful of toward the end of a care plan
• How to know if last time maybe you started VRT too early

Every single person is different and that is why you having this conversation with your physical therapist is absolutely a nonnegotiable.

If you’re in that place where vestibular rehab therapy is making you feel worse, Vestibular Group Fit is here for you! This is where the program really shines and supports people.
