When dizziness is the symptom you came in for.
VESTIBULAR PHYSIOTHERAPY IN NORTH BURNABY
Why clients in North Burnaby choose us.
Vestibular physiotherapy in North Burnaby is delivered by physios with post-graduate vestibular training. We see BPPV (positional vertigo), post-concussion dizziness, unilateral vestibular hypofunction, and cervicogenic dizziness driven by the neck.
First session is an assessment (oculomotor, head impulse, positional testing) to identify what's actually driving the symptom. Where indicated, canalith repositioning manoeuvres are performed in the room.
The Heights studio serves an older catchment along the Hastings corridor, so balance and fall-prevention are a meaningful part of the vestibular caseload here, alongside BPPV and post-MVA dizziness.

KIND WORDS
What North Burnaby clients say.
"I had such a great experience at Launch Rehab, especially with Wen. When I first started treatment, I couldn’t even raise my right arm because of my shoulder injury. Wen was incredibly caring, responsible, and professional throughout my recovery. He really took the time to understand my condition, listen to my concerns, and guide me through the recovery process with so much patience and care. Not only is he excellent at what he does, but his kindness and supportive personality made a huge difference in my experience. The entire clinic is wonderful as well. The front desk staff are always friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I’m truly grateful for all the care I received and would highly recommend Wen and Launch Rehab to anyone looking for a professional, caring, and supportive rehabilitation clinic! ❤️"

FAQ
Vestibular Physiotherapy in North Burnaby: questions.
Can BPPV be fixed in one session at North Burnaby?
+
Often in one to three sessions. Once the affected canal is identified, the right repositioning manoeuvre resolves BPPV for most clients. We confirm with re-testing.
Is post-MVA dizziness covered by ICBC?
+
Yes, under the physio pre-approval. Vestibular issues are common after MVAs, especially when concussion or whiplash is involved.
Should I see my GP first?
+
For straightforward positional or post-concussion dizziness, vestibular physio is usually the right first step. If symptoms include hearing change, severe headache, or neurological signs, see your physician same-day.
What is BPPV, and how does a North Burnaby vestibular physio confirm it?
+
BPPV, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, is short, spinning dizziness triggered by specific head movements like rolling over in bed or looking up. Your physiotherapist confirms it with positional testing that reproduces the spinning and the eye movement pattern that goes with it, which identifies the affected inner ear canal.
Do I need a referral for vestibular physiotherapy at North Burnaby?
+
No. Vestibular physiotherapy is direct-access in BC, so you can book without a referral from a doctor or an ENT specialist. Bringing notes from a prior assessment can help the first session move faster, and you can book directly through JaneApp without waiting on a specialist referral.
Can vestibular physiotherapy help with balance and fall risk in older adults?
+
Yes. The Heights studio serves a meaningful number of older adults along the Hastings corridor, and balance and fall-prevention programming is a regular part of the caseload here, alongside BPPV and post-concussion dizziness. Your physiotherapist builds a balance program tailored to your specific risk factors and daily routine.
How long does a vestibular physiotherapy appointment take at North Burnaby?
+
The first assessment usually runs 45 to 60 minutes to allow time for oculomotor testing, positional testing, and a balance screen. Follow-up visits are typically 30 to 45 minutes depending on what that particular session covers, and your therapist tells you what to expect ahead of time.
Is there free parking at North Burnaby for vestibular physiotherapy appointments?
+
Yes, free on-site parking with no meters at Kensington Square, which is a genuinely practical detail for anyone travelling with active dizziness or balance concerns, removing one more thing to plan around on a day when balance is already the main concern for you and getting driven safely to the studio matters.
