What is BPPV and how can we help? 


BPPV is a treatable cmmon inner ear condition that causes brief episodes of dizziness and vertigo, triggered by head movements. Tiny calcium particles lodge in the inner ear canals, disrupting balance signals to the brain. Our physiotherapists are highly trained in performing specific maneuver to reposition these particles and resolve your dizziness.

You may experience: 

  • Spinning sensations
  • Light-headedness
  • Nausea
  • Loss of balance

Often simple activities like turning in bed or tilting the head challenging and unsettling.

BPPV is highly treatable with specialised vestibular physiotherapy techniques aimed at repositioning these crystals and restoring equilibrium allowing you to reclaim their lives with confidence and stability.
