Ever wondered why balance feels off after a Cochlear Implant? 🦻⚖️

It’s actually much more common than you think! 30% to 50% of adult cochlear implant recipients experience temporary dizziness or imbalance after surgery.

Here’s what you need to know:

💥 Why does it happen?
The inner ear houses both your hearing and your balance systems right next to each other! Surgical insertion can cause temporary fluid shifts or inflammation—especially affecting the saccule (the organ that senses gravity and vertical movement).

⏳ How long does it last?

First few days: 20%–50% report transient dizziness or lightheadedness.

Long term: Most recover within 2 to 6 weeks as the inner ear heals! Only 10%–20% have persistent balance issues.

🩺 How Physical Therapy Helps:
If balance stays rocky, Vestibular Physical Therapy uses specialized gaze-stabilization and dynamic balance exercises to help your brain compensate and get you back on your feet confidently! 🏃‍♂️✨

Dizziness and balance problems can have many underlying causes, including complications following surgery or other medical conditions. Understanding what is causing your symptoms is important, so it's best to consult a healthcare professional when you first notice them.

t’s all in your eyes! 👁️

What you’re seeing in this video was captured using our specialized infrared video goggles.

At the ER, this patient was told she has BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) and was assured that she did not have a stroke or any central vestibular issue. In this patient's case, based on our detailed vestibular evaluation, we were able to diagnose her with an acute unilateral vestibulopathy.

While BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo, its symptoms can easily mimic other peripheral vestibular conditions. That's why seeing a specialized Vestibular Physical Therapist makes all the difference:

🎯 Accurate Diagnosis: Infrared video goggles allow us to track subtle, involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) that are difficult to see with the naked eye.

⚡ Faster Results: Pinpointing the exact cause means targeted treatment right from your very first session—no wasted time.

📊 Clear Prognosis: Each vestibular condition heals differently. Knowing the exact cause can provide a person with a realistic, clear timeline for recovery.

Concussion care has evolved beyond just sitting in a dark room until symptoms disappear. Today, we know that light, controlled exercise is key to healing. Guided physical activity increases cerebral blood flow and promotes neuroplasticity, helping your brain rebuild pathways and safely adapt so you can return to work, sports, and daily life.

Ever wondered how your brain instantly knows you’re in an elevator the second it starts moving?

Meet the Saccule 👇

Tucked in your inner ear right under the utricle, the saccule is your body’s vertical balance sensor. While its neighbor (the utricle) handles side-to-side and forward motion, the saccule is oriented vertically to detect: ⬆️ Up-and-down acceleration ⬇️ Head position relative to gravity

Why does this matter in rehab? 🧠 We don't just train balance in a vacuum. By using targeted, functional movements, we directly stimulate the saccule and retrain how the brain processes vertical motion.

The goal? Building movement confidence step-by-step through task specificity—connecting every exercise back to real-life movements and what matters most to the patient. 🎯

We recently had the team from Mimofit stop by Congruence for a demo, and it was a lot of fun.

Our Parkinson’s clients got to work on reaction time, coordination, and footwork with some awesome interactive games (our France vs. Spain matchup got pretty competitive! ⚽).

Want to join the fun? We’d love to have you!

At our practice, we deeply value self-reflection. There is truly no better feeling than seeing our patients do better and celebrating those small wins, one day at a time!

When managing complex neurological conditions, healing isn't just physical—having the right mindset plays a huge role too. We love seeing our patients connect with themselves and notice their own progress. Every step forward is a victory! ✨

What’s a small win you’re celebrating today?

Did you know that Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) leaves a lingering footprint even after the spinning stops? 👇

When someone suffers from recurrent BPPV, their world gets turned upside down—literally. But what many don't realize is that even when the acute vertigo episodes are successfully treated, a hidden symptom often remains: impaired balance and a loss of movement confidence.

Studies show that post BPPV people also experience falls.

In this video we work on targeted balance training. 🏋️‍♂️

Why is post-BPPV balance training so critical?

The "Software" Lag: The brain and vestibular (inner ear) system can remain out of sync, leading to a constant, subtle feeling of unsteadiness.

Fear of the Flare-Up: Anticipating the next dizzy spell causes people to stiffen up, shorten their steps, and avoid natural head movements.

The unwanted outcome: This combination drastically increases the real-world risk of falls. ⚠️

Our primary goal in vestibular rehabilitation isn't just to stop the spinning—it’s to rebuild balance confidence. By retraining the body to trust its feet, its eyes, and its inner ear again, we reduce fall risks and help our clients reclaim their active lifestyles without fear.

That is exactly why this May 17–23, Congruence is proudly supporting VeDA’s official Steps-2-Balance Week! 👣🦩 We are standing together to raise vestibular awareness and celebrate every single victory on the journey back to balance. Visit vestibular.org/s2b for more information.

Are you or a loved one feeling unsteady after a bout of vertigo? Don’t just wait for it to fade. Vestibular physical therapy can help you find your footing again!
