Dizziness & Vertigo

How Can Physiotherapy Help with Dizziness and Vertigo?

Dizziness and vertigo can be distressing symptoms that affect balance, mobility, confidence, and everyday activities. People often describe dizziness as feeling lightheaded, unsteady, or off balance, while vertigo is the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving when they are not.

These symptoms can occur for a variety of reasons, including inner ear disorders, vestibular conditions, neurological problems, or balance system dysfunction. Physiotherapy, particularly vestibular rehabilitation, can be highly effective in reducing symptoms, improving balance, and helping individuals return to normal activities.

At Community Physio, we provide specialist assessment and treatment for individuals experiencing:

• Dizziness and light-headedness
• Vertigo (spinning sensations)
• Balance and coordination difficulties
• Unsteadiness when walking
• Motion sensitivity
• Visual disturbances related to movement
• Increased risk of falls
• Reduced confidence with mobility
• Vestibular disorders and inner ear conditions
• Ongoing symptoms affecting daily activities

Our experienced physiotherapists deliver personalised, evidence-based rehabilitation programmes designed to help reduce symptoms, improve stability, and restore confidence.

Whether your goal is to reduce dizziness, improve balance, return to work, regain confidence when walking, or return to your normal daily activities, we are here to support you every step of the way.

Your Physiotherapist’s Role

Your physiotherapist will carry out a detailed assessment to identify the factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a personalised rehabilitation programme tailored to your needs and goals.

This may include:

• Assessment of balance, mobility, coordination, walking ability, and vestibular function.
• Vestibular rehabilitation exercises to reduce dizziness and improve balance.
• Gaze stabilisation exercises to improve visual focus during head movements.
• Habituation exercises to reduce sensitivity to movements that trigger symptoms.
• Balance and coordination training to improve stability and reduce falls risk.
• Walking and mobility retraining to improve confidence and safety.
• Falls prevention advice and strategies.
• Education regarding symptom management and recovery.
• Advice on safely returning to daily activities, work, and exercise.
• Ongoing monitoring and progression of rehabilitation to maximise recovery.

Our rehabilitation approach focuses on helping individuals regain confidence, improve balance, and return to the activities that matter most to them.
