What to know
Welcome to Vestibular and Concussion Rehabilitation at Revive Rehab in Surrey, British Columbia. Dizziness, vertigo, balance instability, and post-concussion symptoms can be incredibly disorienting, affecting your safety, concentration, work performance, and confidence in public spaces. Our specialized physical therapy program is designed to accurately assess and treat disorders of the vestibular system (inner ear and brain connections) and guide recovery following mild traumatic brain injuries (concussions).
At Revive Rehab, we utilize evidence-based protocols to address inner ear crystal displacement, visual-vestibular mismatch, and cervical contributions to dizziness. Our clinical approach focuses on desensitizing your vestibular pathways, improving visual tracking, restoring neck mobility, and building dynamic balance stability so you can safely return to your workplace, sport, and daily life.
Specialized Balance & Recovery Clinics in Surrey
We provide dedicated vestibular and concussion therapy at both of our multidisciplinary Surrey locations, led by physiotherapists with specialized postgraduate education in vestibular rehabilitation.
Our Surrey Scott Road clinic is located at 8388 120 Street, Unit 102, easily accessible for patients in North Delta, Strawberry Hill, and Newton. Equipped with specialized assessment tools, our therapists provide detailed evaluations in a quiet, private setting. Call 604-503-5552 to discuss your symptoms.
Our Surrey Chimney Hill clinic is located at 15122 72 Avenue, Unit 104, serving Fleetwood, Sullivan Heights, and Cloverdale. This clinic is equipped with private suites and a rehabilitation gym, allowing us to guide patients from initial symptom management to advanced return-to-play balance training. Contact the clinic directly at 604-503-9800.
Vestibular Rehabilitation: Addressing Vertigo and Balance
The vestibular system in the inner ear detects head movement and communicates with the eyes and brain to keep you steady. When this system is disrupted, it can cause severe dizziness, nausea, and balance problems. We treat:
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) BPPV is one of the most common causes of intense vertigo (a spinning sensation), triggered by changing head positions. It occurs when tiny calcium carbonate crystals shift into the semi-circular canals of the inner ear. Our therapists perform particle repositioning maneuvers (such as the Epley maneuver) to safely guide the crystals back to their proper chamber, typically resolving symptoms in 1 to 3 sessions.
Vestibular Hypofunction & Neuritis Inflammation of the vestibular nerve can lead to one-sided weakness in the inner ear, causing persistent dizziness, motion sensitivity, and gaze instability (where the world "jumps" when you turn your head). We design customized gaze-stabilization and habituation exercises to train your brain to adapt to the change.
Comprehensive Concussion Rehabilitation
Concussions are mild traumatic brain injuries that affect brain function. Symptoms can be diverse and long-lasting if not managed properly. Our structured concussion program addresses: - **Visual-Vestibular Integration**: Exercises to improve eye-tracking, focus, and coordination between your eyes and inner ear. - **Cervicogenic Dizziness & Neck Pain**: Treating joint restrictions and muscle tension in the upper neck that contribute to headaches and dizziness. - **Autonomic Conditioning**: A sub-symptom heart rate test (Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test) and guided aerobic exercise to safely regulate blood flow and resolve exercise-induced headaches. - **Cognitive & Environmental Pacing**: Strategies to manage screen time, work/school workload, and sensory sensitivity (light and sound).

Questions patients ask
It involves a series of guided head and body positions (maneuvers) to shift inner-ear crystals back to their proper chamber.
Early clinical assessment is safe and recommended within the first 1 to 2 weeks for guidance on symptoms and pacing.
It is dizziness arising from stiffness or joint mismatches in the upper neck, which can be successfully treated with physical therapy.
