Dizziness and balance problems are common but often poorly understood. Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialised therapy that can help.
Understanding Dizziness and Balance Disorders
Common causes of dizziness and balance issues include inner ear conditions affecting the vestibular system, certain medications, blood pressure changes, and neck-related issues affecting balance signals. If dizziness is persistent, recurring, or affecting your daily life, it is worth seeking a proper assessment rather than dismissing it: balance disorders are very treatable once the underlying cause is identified.
What Is Vestibular Rehabilitation?
Vestibular rehabilitation is a form of therapy designed to address problems with the vestibular system, the part of the inner ear and brain that controls balance and spatial orientation.
Who It Can Help
- People experiencing dizziness or vertigo
- Those with balance difficulties affecting daily life
- Individuals recovering from certain inner ear conditions
What Treatment Involves
A qualified practitioner assesses your specific balance and vestibular function, then builds a tailored programme of exercises designed to retrain the brain's response to balance signals over time.
When to Seek Assessment
Persistent or severe dizziness should always be assessed by a healthcare professional to rule out underlying causes before starting vestibular rehabilitation.
