Vestibular Rehabilitation for Dizziness or Imbalance
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a specialised exercise based therapy which helps to resolve the problems encountered by vestibular disorders.
On your initial consultation, you will first be fully assessed by the Physiotherapist who will take an extensive history and test your balance mechanisms to ascertain the cause of your imbalance and dizziness. With this information a tailored treatment is developed to each individual’s specific needs depending on their diagnosis.
Treatment may involve a graduated exercise program and/ or specific manoeuvres to resolve your dizziness and balance issues over a matter of weeks.
The physio will try not aggravate your symptoms much beyond their base level during assessment, however, it is advised that you attend with a friend/companion on your first session to help get home if you are very acute.
