Do You Experience Dizziness?
Balance problems affect approximately 50% of all adults at some time. A specifically trained physiotherapist is equipped to treat dizziness and balance issues including BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). In BPPV, a person will feel that the environment is moving around them (i.e.: spinning). This is related to a dysfunction in the vestibular system.
The physiotherapist can help to treat this with a series of maneuvers and exercises that can restore normal function for the vestibular system and help the patient regain balance. A registered physiotherapist can also provide treatment to help improve balance and prevent falls.
*If you are a patient receiving vestibular rehabilitation at our clinic, we recommend that you arrange to have someone available to drive you home after your physiotherapy treatment session.
