Navigating the Complex World of Vestibular Disorders:

Vestibular disorders, often linked to issues within the inner ear, can be disorienting, leading to symptoms like dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance. Vestibular Physiotherapy stands as a beacon of hope for many affected by these conditions.

Vestibular Physiotherapy, sometimes called vestibular rehabilitation, is a specialised form of physiotherapy aimed at alleviating the symptoms associated with vestibular disorders.
- By utilising specific exercises and manoeuvres, this therapy helps patients improve their balance, minimise dizziness, and regain a sense of normalcy in their lives.
