Objective:
This study was conducted to compare the results of an office-based vestibular rehabilitation program with the results from other larger programs in the literature.

Results:
Sixty-six percent of patients improved with this form of vestibular rehabilitation after 1 month. The results compare favourably with improvement rates from other centres in the literature with large, multidisciplinary teams.
Conclusion:
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy can be effectively administered from an office-based program.
