Dizziness got you spinning? Let's Talk Vertigo and BPPV Relief

At Tweak.Health Physio, we understand how dizziness, vertigo, and sudden balance issues can disrupt your life. If you’re feeling like the room is spinning or struggling to stay steady, it could be more than just standing up too quickly. You might be experiencing a condition known as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)—and yes, it’s as confusing as it sounds. Thankfully, our team offers hands-on physiotherapy treatment for vertigo conditions like BPPV to help you regain control and confidence.

🤔 What Is BPPV?

BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo, especially in adults. It occurs when tiny calcium crystals (called otoconia) in your inner ear become dislodged and migrate into the wrong canal. This misplacement sends mixed signals to your brain about your body’s position, resulting in a sensation of spinning or tilting.

Common Symptoms of BPPV:

If you’ve experienced any of the following symptoms, BPPV could be the culprit:

  • A sudden spinning sensation, even when standing still
  • Light-headedness or foggy thinking
  • Nausea, and in some cases, vomiting
  • Feeling unsteady or off-balance
  • Dizziness triggered by simple head movements (looking up, rolling in bed, bending over, or standing up)

These symptoms often come and go, making it tricky to pinpoint the cause—until you see a qualified professional.

How Our Hands-on Physiotherapists Treat Vertigo and BPPV

At Tweak Health Physio, we take a hands-on, evidence-based approach to managing vertigo and BPPV. Our physiotherapists are specially trained to assess and treat these conditions using vestibular physiotherapy and repositioning manoeuvres.

Here’s what to expect during your vertigo physiotherapy session:

  1. Comprehensive Assessment

We’ll start by listening carefully to your symptoms and health history. Then, we’ll perform specific positional tests to determine if BPPV is the root cause—and identify which ear canal is affected.

  1. Repositioning Techniques

Using well-established techniques like the Epley manoeuvre or Semont manoeuvre, we help guide the dislodged crystals back to where they belong—offering immediate or progressive relief.

  1. Tailored Treatment Plan

No two vertigo cases are the same. That’s why we create personalized treatment plans based on factors such as your age, activity level, the severity of your symptoms, and your individual recovery goals.

Some clients feel improvement after just one session, while others may need a few visits to completely settle the issue.
