Our Story
India's first dedicated multidisciplinary platform for vestibular science and balance care.
Mission
"To unite the multidisciplinary community of vestibular specialists, establish evidence-based clinical standards, and make high-quality balance care accessible to every patient across India."
Who We Are
The Integrated Balance Forum (IBF) was born from a simple but urgent observation: vestibular medicine in India was fragmented across specialties with no common platform for collaboration, standardisation, or education.
Founded by a group of passionate clinicians — otorhinolaryngologists, neurologists, audiologists, and physiotherapists — IBF set out to change that. By bringing these disciplines together under one forum, IBF creates the conditions for meaningful clinical advancement, peer exchange, and improved patient outcomes.
The forum focuses on developing and disseminating standardised, evidence-based protocols for accurate diagnosis, effective rehabilitation, and comprehensive management of balance disorders. With a commitment to innovation, IBF integrates cutting-edge technology with contextually relevant, indigenous solutions tailored to the Indian healthcare landscape.
ENT, Neurology, Audiology, Physiotherapy — one platform.
Equitable vestibular expertise across all regions of India.
Every protocol designed around measurable patient outcomes.
Highest standards of scientific rigour and ethics.
Standardised protocols grounded in current research.
