Your vestibular system (the balance part of your inner ear) starts naturally declining after 40.

You might not feel dizzy, but you might notice:

~ Taking the stairs a bit more carefully
~ Feeling less stable on uneven ground
~ Not trusting your balance like you used to

These aren’t just “normal aging” - they’re signs your vestibular system needs some maintenance.

Think of vestibular rehab like getting a tune-up for your car. You don’t wait until it breaks down - you maintain it so it keeps running smoothly.

A vestibular “tune-up” can help you:

✅ Maintain sharp balance as you age

✅ Reduce fall risk before it becomes a problem

✅ Keep doing the activities you love with confidence

Prevention > reaction. Your future self will thank you. 💪

You don’t have to wait for a problem to prevent one. 🎯

Your balance system is remarkably adaptable.

It just needs consistent, targeted training and a little patience with yourself.

That unsteady feeling during therapy? It’s temporary.

But the confidence and stability you’re building? That’s what sticks.

You’re training so you can:
✨ Hike without fear of falling
✨ Play with your kids/grandkids
✨ Travel without anxiety about your balance
✨ Do the activities you LOVE with confidence

Whether you’re dealing with vertigo, dizziness, or just want to feel more steady on your feet, remember that progress happens one small step at a time.

Except you’re not in a cave... you’re trying to walk through Target, navigate a hiking trail, or just move around your own home.

Every surface feels unpredictable when your vestibular system isn’t working right.

That’s what we’re working on together - helping you build the confidence and skills to handle life’s rocky terrain, whether that’s actual rocks or just your kitchen floor. 🪨

In the darkness of this cave, I couldn’t see much of anything - I had to rely completely on my inner ear and body awareness to keep my balance.

That’s probably what it feels like for you in dim lighting, at night, or in busy visual environments when your eyes can’t give you the information your brain needs.

The good news?

We can retrain your vestibular system to fill in those gaps, so you’re not dependent on perfect lighting to feel steady. 🔦

Caves are naturally disorienting - you lose all your normal visual landmarks and reference points. If that sounds familiar, it’s because that’s what you’re experiencing when your vestibular system isn’t working properly.

Everyday spaces can feel just as confusing and ‘off.’

What we’re doing in vestibular rehab is helping your brain relearn how to process where you are in space, even when things feel tilted or spinning. ⚖️

Stepping into this cave meant pushing past my comfort zone and trusting my balance. I know that’s exactly what I’m asking you to do in every session - take small, brave steps outside what feels safe right now.

But here’s the thing: every time you do, you’re teaching your brain that it CAN trust your body again. You’ve got this.

Cold weather brings unique challenges that can make balance symptoms worse and increase fall risk.

My top safety tips for vestibular patients this season:

🍂 Before you head out:

- Check the weather and plan accordingly
- Allow extra time—rushing increases fall risk
- Consider if you really need to go out on icy/snowy days

👟Footwear matters:

- Wear shoes with good tread (save the smooth-soled boots for indoors)
- Consider ice grips or traction cleats for your shoes
- Make sure shoes fit well

🧥 Layer smart:

- Avoid excessive bulk that restricts movement or vision
- Keep your head and neck warm (neck tension can worsen dizziness)
- Don’t let scarves or hoods block your peripheral vision

🚶Walking strategies:

- Take shorter steps on slippery surfaces
- Walk slowly and deliberately
- Look ahead to plan your path
- Use handrails whenever available
- Walk on salted/cleared paths when possible

🏠 Home safety:

- Keep walkways clear of ice, leaves, and debris
- Ensure good outdoor lighting (motion sensors are great)
- Consider a walking stick or trekking pole for extra stability
- Keep a bag of salt/sand near your door

💡Light therapy:

- With shorter days, consider a light therapy lamp
- Keep indoor spaces well-lit to support visual balance cues
- Use nightlights to navigate safely in darker mornings/evenings

Your balance system already works harder than most people’s. Follow along for more tips on protecting your balance system through every season.

Let’s help your brain and body work better—so you can feel steady, strong, and fully you again. 🫶

Dizziness rarely works on a simple cause-and-effect basis.

Think of it less like a light switch and more like a bucket. 🪣

Your nervous system has a threshold—a tipping point. Throughout any given day, week, or month, various factors are filling up your “bucket”:

🔹Poor sleep quality
🔹Stress levels
🔹Dehydration or irregular eating
🔹Neck tension or poor posture
🔹Visual overload (screens, busy patterns)
🔹Physical fatigue
🔹Anxiety or worry
🔹Barometric pressure changes

When your bucket is nearly empty, you can encounter a “trigger” (like bending over, turning your head quickly, or being in a crowded store) and feel completely fine.

But when your bucket is already 80% full from accumulated stressors? That same movement or environment becomes the final drop that makes everything overflow—and boom, you’re dizzy.

This is why:

- You can look up quickly on Tuesday with no problem, but the same movement on Friday = instant spinning
- The supermarket bothers you some days but not others
- You can exercise without issues one week, then feel off-balance the next doing the same routine

What this means for you:

✅ It’s not about avoiding every potential trigger forever

✅ It’s about managing your overall “load” and keeping your bucket from getting too full

✅ It’s about recognizing when you’re at higher risk and being gentler with yourself

✅ It’s about building resilience in your vestibular and nervous systems over time

💬 Does this resonate? What “fills your bucket” that you might not have connected to your dizziness before?

When episodes increase in frequency, your nervous system can become hypersensitive. The anticipation itself can trigger symptoms.

It’s called the fear-avoidance cycle, and it’s very real.

Root-cause approaches I use with clients:

🎯 Trigger Identification
Working together to map your personal triggers: sleep patterns, stress, dietary factors, hormonal changes, dehydration, sensory overload

🧘 Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specific exercises to retrain your balance system and reduce sensitivity to motion

💆 Nervous System Regulation
Techniques to calm your threat response and break the anticipation-anxiety loop

⚖️ Lifestyle Optimization
Addressing sleep hygiene, stress management, consistent meal timing, and hydration strategies

🔄 Habituation Training
Gradually desensitizing your system to movements or situations that trigger symptoms

The goal is to retrain your vestibular and nervous systems to function optimally again.
