Vestibular Physiotherapy
Vestibular physiotherapy is a specialised field within physiotherapy focused on diagnosing and managing symptoms related to the vestibular system, such as balance, dizziness and vertigo.
Your physiotherapist will begin with a thorough assessment of your symptoms, which may include performing specific tests. Based on this evaluation, they can often diagnose your condition and develop a tailored treatment plan.
In some cases, your physiotherapist may refer you to a neurologist for additional evaluations, which might involve hearing tests, brain MRI scans, blood tests, and further balance function assessments.
Vestibular physiotherapy typically includes exercises aimed at:
- Inducing mild dizziness to help your vestibular system adapt and accept the sensation (habituation exercises).
- Enhancing coordination between your eyes and head.
- Strengthening and challenging your vestibular balance system while walking.
Your physiotherapist might also employ techniques such as the Epley maneuver to alleviate vertigo symptoms.
