Vestibular Physiotherapy for Dizziness, Vertigo and Balance Problems
Living with dizziness, vertigo or unsteadiness can make everyday activities feel challenging and unpredictable. Vestibular physiotherapy provides targeted rehabilitation to help retrain the balance system, reduce symptoms and restore confidence with movement. Whether your dizziness is new, persistent or linked to a specific condition, specialist physiotherapy offers practical strategies to help you feel steadier and more in control.
How Vestibular Rehabilitation Works
Vestibular physiotherapy uses specific exercises and techniques to help the brain adapt to changes in the balance system. Treatment may include:
- Vestibular rehabilitation exercises
- Balance retraining
- Gaze‑stabilisation exercises
- Habituation techniques
- Positional manoeuvres for BPPV
- Walking and movement practice
- Advice on pacing and symptom management
These exercises help reduce dizziness, improve stability and rebuild confidence with everyday movement.
What to Expect During Your Assessment
Your physiotherapist will explore:
- How dizziness affects your walking and balance
- Movements or positions that trigger symptoms
- Your confidence with daily activities
- Any recent illness, injury or concussion
- How symptoms impact work, exercise and home life
This detailed assessment ensures your rehabilitation plan is tailored to your specific symptoms and goals.
