Vestibular rehabilitation is a treatment for dizziness/imbalance and involves a series of head/eye movement exercises, and balance activities etc. All my patients are individually assessed and a customised programme is designed for their specific needs, in order to gain maximum function. 

We can treat all types of vestibular dizziness and balance problems caused by conditions such as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), Dizziness, Nausea related to movement, history of falls, Motion sensitivity, Poor balance, Labyrinthitis or Vestibular Neuritis, Concussion & Post-concussion Syndromes dizziness, Acoustic Neuroma (if stable or post-operative), Ménière’s Disease (if accompanied by vestibular loss) 

Individuals with certain conditions are not candidates for vestibular rehabilitation, such as: 

• • Dizziness caused by progressive central nervous system loss (e.g. Multiple Sclerosis) 
  • Fluctuating dizziness conditions (e.g. Migraine-related dizziness) 
  • Psychogenic dizziness. (e.g. dizziness related to anxiety, depression, etc) 

For a short period after the assessment, you may feel a bit more dizzy. For this reason, it is important to have someone drive you home or to take a taxi. After that, what you feel depends on the condition being treated. For those people with BPPV, the reduction in their dizziness after just 1 or 2 treatments can be quite remarkable. With other conditions, a person will feel much better with time and consistent exercising.
