7. Sensory Integration Therapy

Sensory integration therapy helps individuals with sensory processing issues by providing sensory experiences that help the brain organize and respond to sensory input. Techniques include:

• Sensory Stimulation: Activities that provide controlled sensory input through touch, sound, sight, and movement.
• Sensory Diets: Personalized plans that incorporate sensory activities into daily routines to improve regulation and attention.

8. Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation focuses on treating dizziness, balance disorders, and vertigo. Interventions include:

• Balance Training: Exercises to improve stability and coordination.
• Gaze Stabilization: Techniques to improve control of eye movements.
• Habituation Exercises: Activities that reduce dizziness by repeatedly exposing patients to motion that causes symptoms.

9. Pain Management

Pain management therapy aims to reduce pain and improve quality of life. Approaches include:

• Physical Modalities: Heat, cold, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation.
