Vertigo and Vestibular Rehabilitation in Moorebank
Assessment and rehabilitation for selected causes of vertigo, dizziness, imbalance and motion sensitivity, with treatment tailored to your presentation.
How vestibular physiotherapy may help
The vestibular system helps control balance and stable vision. Symptoms can arise from the inner ear, nervous system, medicines, circulation or other causes, so assessment comes before treatment.
Dizziness and motion sensitivity
Graded habituation and gaze-stability exercises may help selected vestibular presentations.
Balance and falls concerns
Targeted balance, strength and walking practice can support safer movement and confidence.

Frequently asked questions
Is all vertigo BPPV?
No. BPPV is one common cause of brief position-triggered vertigo, but dizziness has many possible causes. Assessment helps guide the safest next step.
What is a repositioning manoeuvre?
It is a sequence of head and body positions used for an identified BPPV canal. It is only used when assessment findings support it and precautions have been considered.
Should I drive to my appointment?
If your symptoms are unpredictable or affect safe driving, arrange someone to bring you. Symptoms may briefly increase during some assessments or treatments.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on the cause, severity, other health factors and your response. Your clinician will explain the plan after assessment.
