Our vestibular physiotherapists assess and treat a wide range of balance and dizziness disorders, including:
A comprehensive evaluation to determine the nature and severity of your vestibular issues.
A tailored plan that may include exercises, manual therapy and other therapeutic approaches.

We track your progress closely and adjust your plan as needed to get the best results.

Vestibular physiotherapy is a specialised form of physiotherapy that assesses and treats disorders of the vestibular (balance) system. Conditions treated include BPPV, vertigo, dizziness, vestibular neuritis and balance disorders caused by inner ear or neurological changes. Treatment uses specific exercises and repositioning manoeuvres to retrain the brain and reduce symptoms.
Common conditions treated include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, unilateral vestibular hypofunction, concussion-related dizziness and general balance disorders. If you experience ongoing vertigo, dizziness, or feel unsteady on your feet, a vestibular assessment can identify the cause and guide treatment.
BPPV — the most common cause of positional vertigo — often resolves in one to three sessions using the Epley manoeuvre or similar repositioning techniques. Other vestibular conditions may take longer, typically involving a graduated home exercise programme over several weeks. Your physiotherapist will give you a realistic timeline after your initial assessment.
