BPPV Physiotherapy for Dizziness and Better Balance

 Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a common inner-ear condition that can cause brief episodes of dizziness or a spinning sensation when changing head position. Symptoms may occur when rolling over in bed, looking up, bending down or getting up from a lying position.

Living with BPPV can affect confidence, balance and everyday activities. A physiotherapy assessment can help identify the cause of positional dizziness and determine the most appropriate treatment. Depending on the assessment findings, specific head and body repositioning manoeuvres may help relieve symptoms.

BPPV treatment is tailored to the individual, as the appropriate technique depends on which inner-ear canal is affected. Some people may also benefit from balance exercises or additional rehabilitation if unsteadiness continues after the dizziness improves.

If you experience recurring dizziness or feel unsteady during everyday movements, seeking professional advice can help you understand your symptoms and explore suitable treatment options. Sudden dizziness accompanied by difficulty speaking, weakness, double vision or other new neurological symptoms requires urgent medical assessment.
