Vestibular Rehabilitation has been proven to reduce both the primary and secondary symptoms associated with Meniere’s Disease.

Primary symptoms of Meniere’s Disease may include:

-       dizziness

-       vertigo

-       nausea

-       hearing impairment

-       gait ataxia

-       dysequilibrium and

-       tinnitus.

Secondary symptoms are those not directly related to the pathology of Meniere’s Disease but are consequential to the disease. It is often the secondary symptoms that have a significant impact on the sufferer and their carers.

Secondary symptoms may include:

-       fatigue

-       reduced concentration

-       emotional factors such as fear of falling and/or depression

-       functional restrictions within the home or workplace

-       neck stiffness associated with avoidance of head movement to prevent dizziness and

-       headaches.

The person with Meniere’s frequently reduces their level of daily activity and can experience a reduction in physical fitness, strength and endurance.

Vestibular Rehabilitation is an exercise based approach to the remediation of disequilibrium and dizziness associated with vestibular disorders.

 Exercises are tailored to the individual’s needs and are designed to:

1. Improve balance

2. Improve walking pattern

3. Reduce falls

4. Increase independence

5. Increase confidence

6. Reduce disability
