BPPV Physiotherapy for Dizziness & Balance Problems

 Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, commonly known as BPPV, is a frequent cause of short episodes of dizziness or a spinning sensation when changing the position of your head. Movements such as turning in bed, looking upwards, bending down, or getting up quickly can sometimes trigger symptoms. At Physios R Us, we provide specialist physiotherapy to help assess and manage BPPV and its effect on your everyday life.

Our BPPV Physiotherapy begins with a detailed assessment to understand your symptoms and identify the likely cause of your dizziness. Where BPPV is suspected, your physiotherapist may use appropriate positional tests to determine which part of the inner ear is affected. This helps ensure that treatment is focused on your specific presentation.

Treatment for BPPV may include repositioning manoeuvres designed to help move displaced particles within the inner ear back to their appropriate position. Your physiotherapist will explain the process and guide you through each stage, helping you feel comfortable and informed throughout your treatment.

Although BPPV can be unsettling, appropriate assessment and treatment can help many people manage their symptoms and return to normal activities. If dizziness is affecting your confidence when walking, moving around, or completing everyday tasks, professional assessment can also help identify whether additional balance rehabilitation may be beneficial.

At Physios R Us, we provide personalised care based on your symptoms, mobility, and recovery goals. If you're experiencing repeated episodes of positional dizziness or balance difficulties, our physiotherapy team can help you understand your symptoms and explore suitable treatment options.
