Vestibular & Balance Rehabilitation
Vestibular therapy is a specialized branch of neurological physiotherapy focused on the assessment and rehabilitation of balance and dizziness disorders associated with vestibular dysfunction and sensory integration systems.
This targeted therapeutic approach utilises a range of exercises and techniques designed to mitigate the effects of vestibular impairments, while promoting improvements in eye-head-body coordination, overall equilibrium, and spatial orientation.
Vestibular therapy can provide significant benefits to a wide range of patients, effectively alleviating symptoms such as vertigo, instability, and visual disturbances.
By addressing these challenges, the therapy not only enhances a clients quality of life but also supports greater independence in performing daily activities.
Some common vestibular and balance conditions we see:
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
- Persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD)
- Vestibular neuritis
- Labyrinthitis
- Vestibular Migraine
- Optokinetic dysfunction
- Frequent falls, unstable mobility
Some treatments may include:
- Specialist Manoeuvres e.g. the Epley Manoeuvre.
- Progressive sensory integration and balance training.
- Specific exercises for gaze stability, habituation, adaptation and/or substitution.
- Promotion of foot health and the maximisation of foot and ankle efficiency.
