Vestibular Neuritis & Labyrinthitis

How Can Physiotherapy Help with Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis?

Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis are inner ear conditions that can cause sudden dizziness, vertigo, balance problems, nausea, and difficulties with walking and everyday activities. These conditions are often associated with viral infections and can significantly affect your confidence, mobility, and quality of life.

While symptoms can be severe in the early stages, physiotherapy can play a crucial role in supporting recovery. Through specialist vestibular rehabilitation, physiotherapy helps the brain adapt to changes in the balance system, reducing dizziness and improving stability, coordination, and confidence.

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

• Sudden onset vertigo or dizziness
• Balance and coordination difficulties
• Unsteadiness when walking
• Motion sensitivity
• Visual disturbances during movement
• Nausea associated with dizziness
• Increased risk of falls
• Reduced confidence with mobility
• Difficulties returning to work, exercise, or daily activities
• Ongoing symptoms following Vestibular Neuritis or Labyrinthitis

Our experienced physiotherapists deliver personalised, evidence-based rehabilitation programmes designed to reduce symptoms, improve balance, and support long-term recovery.

Whether your goal is to reduce dizziness, improve balance, return to work, regain confidence when walking, or get back to your normal activities, we are here to support you throughout your recovery journey.

Your Physiotherapist’s Role

Your physiotherapist will complete a detailed vestibular assessment to understand your symptoms and develop a personalised rehabilitation programme tailored to your needs and goals.

This may include:

• Assessment of balance, coordination, mobility, walking ability, and vestibular function.
• Vestibular rehabilitation exercises to reduce dizziness and improve recovery.
• 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 education.
• Guidance on managing symptoms during daily activities.
• Advice on safely returning to work, exercise, and social activities.

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