What Is Vestibular Physiotherapy?
Vestibular physiotherapy is a specialist form of treatment designed to assess and treat conditions affecting the inner ear and balance system.
If youâre experiencing dizziness, vertigo, or unsteadiness, itâs often linked to how your brain processes signals from your inner ear. Vestibular rehabilitation uses targeted exercises, manoeuvres, and education to retrain this system and reduce symptoms.
