Vertigo

At Bodyfix, we take a personalised approach to vertigo treatment. Using evidence-based techniques, we assess and treat the specific cause of your symptoms, with a focus on:

• Comprehensive Assessment: We conduct an in-depth evaluation to understand the type and cause of vertigo, assessing eye movements, balance, and mobility. This allows us to identify whether your vertigo is due to BPPV, vestibular hypofunction, or other balance-related issues.

• Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT): VRT is a specialised form of physiotherapy aimed at retraining the brain and body to reduce dizziness and improve balance. Exercises may include gaze stabilisation, balance retraining, and specific head and body movements to stimulate and retrain the vestibular system.

• Canalith Repositioning Techniques: For those diagnosed with BPPV, we use techniques such as the Epley maneuver to move dislodged crystals within the inner ear back to their proper location, reducing or eliminating the spinning sensations associated with vertigo.

• Balance and Coordination Exercises: These exercises help improve postural stability and coordination, addressing any residual balance issues and helping you feel more secure in your movements.

Our vertigo physiotherapy services provide a range of benefits, including:

• Reduced Dizziness and Spinning Sensations: Targeted techniques like the Epley maneuver and gaze stabilisation exercises reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo episodes.

• Improved Balance and Stability: Specialised balance exercises help you regain control, minimising the risk of falls and improving your overall sense of security.

• Enhanced Quality of Life: Vertigo can disrupt daily activities, work, and social interactions. Effective physiotherapy reduces symptoms, allowing you to return to your normal routine with confidence.

• Non-Invasive Treatment: Physiotherapy for vertigo is a safe, non-invasive approach that minimises the need for medication and can be effective in the long-term management of symptoms.
