Magnetolith Therapy

Optokinetic stimulation is a treatment tool that uses moving visual patterns (like stripes or dots) to help desensitise the brain to motion and reduce symptoms of dizziness, disorientation, or visual overload. It’s particularly helpful when visual environments trigger or worsen your symptoms.

The Skull Vibration Test uses a gentle vibration behind the ear to stimulate the balance organs of your inner ear and detect if there’s a difference between the left and right sides. It is often used as a simple but powerful screening tool when dizziness or imbalance seems one-sided.

VNS is a diagnostic tool that uses infrared video goggles to directly observe and analyse eye movements in real time. Since the eyes and inner ear are functionally linked, monitoring these movements helps determine whether a patient’s dizziness or imbalance is related to peripheral vestibular dysfunction or central causes.

The VHIT evaluates how well your vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is working — the reflex that keeps your eyes steady when your head moves. It helps us determine whether your inner ear canals are functioning properly, especially when you feel dizzy or unfocused during quick movements.

Something fundamental changed in how we practise physiotherapy at Kinetika when we introduced KinetiSense™ 3D motion capture. Here’s what we decided, why we decided it — and what it means for every patient who walks through our door.
