Vestibular Physiotherapy
Vestibular physiotherapy (treatment for dizziness) is a specialised exercise based approach
designed to reduce vertigo, dizziness and balance issues caused by inner ear disorders.
What Will We Do?
- Assess what type of dizziness you have.
- Educate you about your dizziness so you understand what is happening and feel supported.
- Repositioning manoeuvres if indicated by testing e.g. Epley manoeuvre.
- Home exercises to allow you to settle your dizziness further yourself.
- Balance training to improve stability and reduce falls and increase confidence in movement.
Common Conditions Treated
- BPPV - Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
- PPPD - Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness
- Vestibular neuritis
- Vestibular migraines
- Labyrinthitis
- Meniere's disease
- Age related dizziness
If possible it is a good idea to bring somebody with you to the sessions so that they
can drive you home. In some cases dizziness is better straight away – in others
it may trigger it temporarily before it settles.
