Show Notes
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.

If you hadn’t heard yet, Daylight Saving Time is coming up on November 1st. If you have a vestibular disorder, that one-hour shift can do a number on your routine, sleep, and symptoms.
One of the most common things I hear from people with vestibular disorders is how hard it feels to do things with family (especially kids).
In this episode, we’re going to cover some common questions about advocating for treatments at the doctor’s office, which can occur for a few different reasons.
Histamine and MCAS are everywhere on the internet right now, but there’s a huge piece missing from the conversation. Genetics.
If you have a vestibular disorder, there’s a good chance your thyroid is part of the story.
