What this care covers
Vestibular physiotherapy treats problems with the inner ear and balance system. If you experience vertigo, dizziness, a feeling of unsteadiness, or a sensation that the room is spinning, a vestibular physiotherapist can identify the cause and treat it with targeted exercises and repositioning techniques. The most common condition is BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), which is assessed with positional tests and treated with repositioning manoeuvres. How many sessions it takes depends on the assessment.
