Vertigo Physiotherapy: Regain Balance and Confidence

​What Is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a sensation of spinning or dizziness, often caused by issues in the vestibular system (the part of the inner ear that controls balance). It can make you feel off-balance, unsteady, or as if the world is moving around you. Common causes of vertigo include Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, and Meniere's disease.

How Can Physiotherapy Help with Vertigo?
Physiotherapy, specifically vestibular rehabilitation, is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment for vertigo and balance disorders. By retraining the brain and body to adapt to changes in balance signals, physiotherapy helps reduce dizziness, improve stability, and restore confidence in daily activities.

Symptoms of Vertigo

  • A spinning or whirling sensation

  • Dizziness or light-headedness

  • Balance problems or unsteadiness

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Blurred vision or difficulty focusing

  • Sensitivity to motion or head movements


Physiotherapy Treatments for Vertigo
 

  1. Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT): A tailored program of exercises designed to improve balance and reduce dizziness by training the brain to compensate for vestibular dysfunction.
     

  2. Canalith Repositioning Manoeuvres Techniques: like the Epley manoeuvre are used to treat BPPV by repositioning crystals in the inner ear to their correct location.
     

  3. Balance Training Exercises: to strengthen the vestibular system and improve stability, reducing the risk of falls and improving overall coordination.
     

  4. Eye Movement Exercises: Targeted exercises to improve gaze stability and reduce symptoms like blurred vision or difficulty focusing.
     

  5. Education and Lifestyle Modifications: Learn strategies to manage symptoms, avoid triggers, and adapt your environment to improve safety and comfort.
