113. Should I Go to Vestibular Rehab Therapy? w/ Dr. Jenna Green
Dr. Jenna Green joins me, Dr. Madison Oak, for this episode all about vestibular rehab therapy (VRT)! If you don’t know, Dr. Jenna is my work wife inside Vestibular Group Fit.
One thing you’ll hear us stress is that you can be not ready for VRT. We’ve both (kindly) kicked people out of therapy before because it wasn’t the best option for them at that time.
There’s a lot we unearth not just about what VRT actually looks like, but also how to find the best setting and physical therapist for your treatment.
In this episode, we’ll dig into:
What is vestibular rehab therapy (or VRT)
How to find a vestibular rehabilitation physical therapist near you
Why it’s so important to have a good relationship with your PT
Symptoms you should see a physical therapist for
How seeing a vestibular PT can help with anxiety
How frequently & how long you need to see a vestibular physical therapist for
How much of vestibular rehab is at-home vs what you do in the clinic
Why fewer PTs are working with insurance and what you can do about it
What often happens when you start VRT too soon
The difference between VRT basics and traditional VRT
How affordable the vestibular rehab therapy basics are
How to know you are ready to start vestibular rehab therapy
The biggest benefit of telehealth VRT
Sometimes TIME is the most proactive thing you can do for your body, to regulate your system.
There is a huge upside to telehealth VRT, so don’t worry if you don’t have a trained PT in your area. You have options!
Most vestibular PTs are kind and highly empathetic people. They want to know if you’re feeling a certain way about your exercises. For the best benefit to you, VRT needs to be a collaborative experience.
