IN-HOME VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION

When Travel Isn’t an Option, Expert Care is Essential

When you’re hit with an acute vertigo attack, the world won’t stop spinning. The idea of traveling to a clinic is impossible. We understand. That’s why our specialized vestibular physiotherapists now provide priority in-home locum service in West Toronto. We bring the clinic’s expertise to your bedside.

An acute vertigo or dizziness attack is frightening and debilitating. Nausea, spinning, and disorientation can make even getting out of bed feel dangerous. You need a specialist, but you can’t get to one. Our in-home service is designed for this exact moment. We bypass the stress and difficulty of travel to deliver specialized care when you are at your most vulnerable.

Our Specialized In-Home Service

We are not a general physiotherapy service. We focus exclusively on the assessment and treatment of vestibular (inner ear) and central (brain-related) balance disorders. Our therapists arrive with the necessary diagnostic equipment to provide a comprehensive assessment in the comfort of your own home.

Serving West Toronto

Our in-home locum service is currently focused on providing care to residents in West Toronto, including neighbourhoods such as:

  • High Park & Roncesvalles
  • Bloor West Village
  • The Junction
  • Swansea
  • Central & South Etobicoke

(Please contact us if you are just outside this area, as we may be able to accommodate you.)

Our expert team treats:

  • BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo): The most common cause of “room-spinning” vertigo, which we can often treat and resolve in a single visit with repositioning maneuvers (e.g. The Epley Maneuver).
  • Vestibulopathy: Caused inner ear infection, disease or injury that can causes sudden, severe, and persistent dizziness
  • Post-Concussion Syndrome: Managing acute dizziness and imbalance following a head injury.
  • Post-Surgical Physiotherapy: Personalized care for recovery after surgeries on hips, shoulders, elbows, or lower back.
  • Cervicogenic Dizziness: Dizziness originating from neck problems, which can be exacerbated by an acute event.

My husband has a history of vertigo and recently had some terrible episodes. After a thorough assessment, he immediately felt supported with evidence based exercises and strategies that really helped. The knowledge the physiotherapist has is exemplary. We were impressed with the support and emails with step by step exercises. Direct billing is also helpful. Highly recommend.

I had been misdiagnosed by 3 doctors and at the point of a complete breakdown. Once I met Zoe, she was not only extremely knowledgeable but persistent with her approach. I now have my life back. Don't waste your time seeing doctors...go to an expert. You won't regret it!!

I cannot express how thankful I am for finding Zoe! After being diagnosed with BPPV following a hospital visit for severe vertigo, I was honestly overwhelmed and scared. Zoe took the time to explain everything that was happening with my inner ear in a way that actually made sense and made me feel so much better about it. She was patient, thorough, and tried multiple techniques to help get my crystals back where they needed to be. After just 2 visits, I felt such a huge improvement and finally started feeling like myself again. If you’re debating whether physiotherapy is worth trying, especially for vertigo, I absolutely recommend giving it a shot! Thank you again, Zoe! You seriously gave me my normal life back! Also, shoutout to Alison at the front desk! She’s so sweet, funny, and welcoming every time you walk in!

It was my first time seeing Zoe, although my daughter has seen her in the past and she worked miracles with her addressing her vertigo, this is why I went to see her post my brain surgery. She was very thorough, professional and empathetic to what I was going through. Zoe took the time to explain what BPPV is and how she was going to test if I had it or whether it was brain related. Needless to say, it was the crystals in my right ear which she was able to fix with our initial session. Thank you so much Zoe. She also sent me a link to a YouTube video should it reoccur.

I had issues with a rare case of Vertigo. Zoe took on the challenge and worked diligently with my issues. She is very educated in this field and did wonders for my condition. Zoe conducts herself in a welcoming and professional manner. I highly recommend anyone dealing with Vertigo issues to see Zoe Brown.

I had undergone physio for my back and neck several times in the last 6 years with varying results. I moved to Pickering a year ago and Zoe was the second therapist I tried out. She has been nothing short of exceptional. The pain and stiffness has reduced for me significantly so much that I'm starting to feel hopeful again about my body and health, which no other doctor or practitioner has done for me in several years. She explains what is causing the problems in my body and explains what we are trying to do to fix it quite week. The streching exercises she prescribes are really effective that it no longer feels like I'm just going through the motions without any results. And when something doesn't seem to work, she's quick to present alternatives. Zoe also has a warm and welcoming personality. I always look forward to our sessions. With that said, I can finally start thinking about ending my long physio journey only thanks to Zoe.
