Vertigo (BPPV)

Physiotherapy for Vertigo (BPPV)

Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo (BPPV) is a form of vertigo that causes intense dizziness with certain head movements, such as tilting the head or sitting up quickly. This occurs when small calcium crystals in the inner ear become dislodged, sending mixed signals to the brain and causing a spinning sensation.

How Physiotherapy Can Help
Our physiotherapists are trained in the Epley Maneuver, a manual technique designed to reposition these crystals within the inner ear. This treatment is highly effective in reducing oreliminating dizziness and restoring balance.
