Rehabilitation can help you reach and maintain your maximum physical potential.
What is Vestibular Dysfunction?
The vestibular system, located in the inner ear, controls balance, spatial orientation, and coordination. When this system is affected, individuals may experience:
- Dizziness or vertigo
- Unsteadiness or loss of balance
- Nausea and motion sensitivity
- Visual disturbances (blurred vision, difficulty focusing)
- Anxiety related to movement and instability
- Fatigue due to persistent symptoms
Vestibular dysfunction can result from various causes, including inner ear infections, head injury, ageing, or neurological conditions. Physiotherapy plays a key role in helping clients retrain their balance system, reduce symptoms, and regain confidence.
- Our Approach to Vestibular Physiotherapy
We deliver individualised, evidence-based treatment plans designed to help clients manage their symptoms and improve daily function. Our approach includes:
- Vestibular rehabilitation exercises (VRT) to promote brain compensation
- Gaze stabilisation and visual tracking exercises
- Balance retraining to prevent falls
- Movement desensitisation and habituation techniques
- Postural stability training
- Fatigue and pacing advice to manage energy levels
Every programme is tailored to the client’s unique symptoms, diagnosis, and lifestyle needs, with a focus on restoring confidence in everyday activities.
- Can vestibular physiotherapy help with anxiety related to dizziness?
- How long does vestibular physiotherapy take to show results?
Many people begin to notice improvements within a few sessions, but recovery times vary depending on the cause and severity of symptoms. Consistent, tailored vestibular rehabilitation exercises can lead to steady progress in managing dizziness, balance, and confidence.
- Supporting Clients at Home
Home-based vestibular physiotherapy allows us to:
- Observe balance issues in real-life situations such as stairs, uneven surfaces, or busy environments
- Deliver treatment in a calm, familiar setting, which helps reduce anxiety often triggered by clinic visits
- Address specific challenges within the client’s own living space
- Minimise travel, which can worsen dizziness and vertigo
By working directly in the home, we make rehabilitation more accessible and more directly relevant to everyday life.
