Vestibular physiotherapy treats dizziness, vertigo and unsteadiness arising from the inner ear balance system and how the brain processes its signals.
We treat BPPV, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, which causes short intense spinning triggered by head position and is often corrected in one or two sessions using a corrective manoeuvre. We also treat vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis, Meniere's disease, persistent postural perceptual dizziness, cervicogenic dizziness arising from the neck, post concussion dizziness and visual disturbance, and general balance disorders and falls risk.
These conditions produce a similar complaint and require different treatment, so they are separated by specific assessment including eye movement and positional testing. Doing the wrong treatment is why people spend months without improvement.
Our team includes accredited vestibular physiotherapists, and we teach BPPV corrective manoeuvres to other physiotherapists as an accredited course.

Concussion Rehabilitation:
Neurological physiotherapy can play a crucial role in the management and rehabilitation of people with a concussion. Here are some ways in which we can help:
Assessment and Monitoring:
Physiotherapists can assess the individual's physical function, balance, coordination, vestibular function, neck and visual systems to develop a tailored treatment plan.
Symptom Management and Rehabilitation:
Physiotherapists can help manage symptoms such as headaches, visual, dizziness, and balance problems through techniques such as manual therapy, specific exercise, and education on pacing activities.
Gradual Return to Activity:
Physiotherapists can guide individuals through a gradual return to physical activity, ensuring that they progress at a safe pace and avoid overexertion which can increase symptoms and prolong recovery if not well managed.
