Functional Training
Functional training in vestibular rehabilitation focuses on exercises and activities that help improve balance, coordination, and overall movement patterns. It aims to retrain the brain and body to work together effectively, especially for those experiencing dizziness or balance issues. This approach includes real-life scenarios, like walking on uneven surfaces or turning quickly, to enhance daily functioning. By engaging in tailored activities that mimic everyday challenges, individuals can build strength and confidence, ultimately leading to better stability and reduced symptoms related to vestibular disorders.

Functional training refers to exercises designed to improve everyday movements and enhance overall physical performance. Unlike traditional workouts that target specific muscles, functional training focuses on muscle groups and movement patterns used in daily activities, such as lifting, bending, or climbing stairs. This type of training often involves multi-joint exercises and uses equipment like resistance bands, kettlebells, or stability balls. By improving strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination, functional training aims to make everyday tasks easier and reduce the risk of injury, promoting better overall health and fitness.
