    The vestibular system

    Your inner ear’s balance centre.

    The vestibular system in your inner ear senses head movement and works with your eyes and body to keep you balanced and your vision steady. When it is affected by injury, infection or age-related change, you may feel dizzy, off balance or unsteady when moving your head.

    Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise-based approach that helps the brain adapt and compensate, and it is effective for many vestibular conditions.

    Common conditions

    BPPV, vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis, vestibular migraine, concussion-related dizziness and persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD).

    Typical symptoms

    Spinning or swaying, imbalance, blurred vision with head movement, nausea and feeling worse in busy environments.

    Why it matters

    Vestibular problems increase fall risk and can limit driving, work and social life.

    How we help

    Retrain your balance system.

    • Detailed vestibular, eye-movement and balance assessment
    • Repositioning manoeuvres for BPPV
    • Gaze stabilization exercises
    • Habituation exercises for motion sensitivity
    • Balance and walking training
    • Fall-prevention advice and home safety strategies

    What to expect

    Exercises that fit your day.

    Your exercises are short and done several times a day. They may briefly bring on mild symptoms, which is part of how the brain adapts.

    Many people notice improvement within a few weeks, though some conditions take longer. We progress your program as your tolerance improves.

    Common questions

    Good to know.

    What should I bring?

    A list of your medications and a description of when your dizziness started and what triggers it.

    Is dizziness always an inner ear problem?

    No. Dizziness can come from the neck, blood pressure, medications or other medical causes, so assessment matters.

    Do I need a doctor’s referral?

    No. You can book directly with our physiotherapist. Some extended health plans ask for a referral before they reimburse, so it is worth checking your policy.

    Do you direct bill insurance?

    Yes, we direct bill many extended health providers and handle WCB and motor vehicle accident claims. Our front desk can confirm your coverage when you book.
