Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialised treatment designed to address dizziness and balance problems caused by a range of disorders. One of the most common conditions it treats is BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), which affects the inner ear and causes intense dizziness during specific head and neck movements.

What is Vestibular Rehabilitation?

Following a detailed assessment by our specialist physiotherapist Annie Ray, a personalised Vestibular Rehabilitation Programme will be tailored to your needs. This programme includes:

• Eye, head, and neck exercises specific to dizziness and vertigo

• Balance exercises to improve stability

• Education and advice on falls prevention

• Guidance to enhance function in daily activities

Why Choose Vestibular Rehabilitation?

Physiotherapy has been shown to significantly improve symptoms of vestibular disorders, including:

• BPPV: 80% of patients report significant improvement after just one treatment session

• Unilateral vestibular loss: (e.g., labyrinthitis, acoustic neuroma surgery) where 80% of patients experience improvement

• Central causes such as stroke, where patients may see some improvement

• Conditions like concussion, migraines, and age-related balance loss, where Vestibular Rehabilitation can be helpful
