Balance and vestibular problems

Balance and vestibular problems are particularly distressing for the individual suffering them.

It is not just the effect of the symptoms themselves (eg. dizziness). Worrying about when the symptoms may appear can drastically affect someone’s confidence in their ability to carry out their daily activities.

Skilled physiotherapy treatment can often dramatically relieve symptoms and improve confidence.

Treatment can:

• aid rehabilitation through training normal mobility and balance
• improve body awareness to minimise vestibular symptoms
• treat secondary problems such as visual fixation, and neck and thoracic stiffness

During your treatment, your therapist can also give you advice on helping syou resume your normal daily activities, which have been avoided due to anxiety about dizziness.

If you would like to find out more about how we treat balance and vestibular problems, please contact Sally Watt, our Practice Manager, on (01306) 888171 or email her.

Unfortunately, we are unable to give specific advice to anyone about their condition without first assessing them, as everyone has different clinical needs and goals.
