ATOMIC NEURO

Vestibular Rehab

If you’ve been dealing with dizziness, vertigo, or balance problems, you know how much they can impact daily life. At Atomic Physical Therapy, we offer vestibular rehabilitation therapy with one-on-one care from Dr. Kathryn Bugasch who is a certified neurological PT, to retrain your balance system, reduce dizziness, and restore your confidence in movement.

Your vestibular system, located in the inner ear, helps control balance, spatial orientation, and eye movement. When it’s not working properly due to injury, illness, or conditions like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, or labyrinthitis, symptoms like dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, and visual disturbances can follow. At Atomic, our vestibular rehabilitation programs in Boulder and Broomfield are designed to retrain the brain and inner ear to work together effectively again. Through targeted exercises, gentle manual therapy, and progressive balance challenges, we help reduce dizziness, improve stability, and restore your ability to move confidently in all environments.

How Physical Therapy Helps Vestibular Disorders

Vestibular rehab is more than just balance training. It’s a specialized form of neurological therapy that uses habituation, gaze stabilization, and balance exercises to help your brain adapt to changes in your vestibular system. By improving how your body processes sensory information, we can decrease symptoms, restore function, and improve your quality of life.
