How I can help you
We start with a comprehensive vestibular assessment, then build a clear, progressive treatment program.
Targeted interview, videonystagmoscopy, VOR/VSR tests, DVA
Dynamic posturography to quantify visual, vestibular, and somatosensory function
Tailored techniques: repositioning maneuvers (BPPV), rotational exercises, tilted/unstable surfaces, optokinetic stimulation, visual feedback
Compensation, habituation, desensitization, and sensory substitution strategies
Framiral Platform: Multitest Balance
At the clinic, I use the Multitest Balance platform (Framiral) to objectively measure your balance and guide rehabilitation.
Quantified sensory assessments with session-to-session comparisons
Pre-programmed exercises (active & passive), pneumatic tilting in three planes
Motion sickness modules
Virtual Reality integration or video projection for moving visual environments
Auto-adaptive regulation based on patient weight
VIRE: The benchmark for vestibular rehabilitation
The VIRE (Vertigo & Instability – Rehabilitation & Education) certification ensures current, safe, and effective practice:
Comprehensive assessment: VOR/VSR, DVA, posturography, ENT/neurological referral guidance
Techniques: repositioning maneuvers, tilted/unstable surfaces, optokinetic stimulation, feedback
Training pathway: courses, medical devices (videonystagmoscope, rotational chair, platform), clinical cases, practical internship, and final examination
