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, BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), often resolves in just one or two sessions.
- Canalith repositioning for BPPV (Epley manoeuvre)
- Vestibular rehabilitation exercises (VRT)
