Vertigo is a sensation that makes you feel like you or your surroundings are spinning, even when you’re standing still. It’s more than just feeling lightheaded — vertigo can significantly affect your balance, coordination, and confidence in daily activities.
If left untreated, shin splints can develop into stress reactions or even stress fractures—so early diagnosis and management are essential.
Vertigo often results from issues affecting the inner ear and balance system. Common causes include:
Vertigo symptoms can vary in intensity and duration. You may experience:
If these symptoms persist, a professional assessment is essential to identify the cause and prevent future episodes.
Physiotherapy for vertigo — also known as vestibular physiotherapy. Using targeted exercises to retrain your balance system and reduce dizziness. Our Physio Pro team will:
We start by reviewing your medical history and symptoms, followed by movement, balance, and eye tests to determine the underlying cause.
If you have BPPV, our physiotherapists perform gentle, proven repositioning techniques to move displaced crystals in your inner ear back to their correct position — often relieving symptoms immediately or within a few sessions.
Custom exercises are designed to retrain your brain and balance system. These may include gaze stabilisation, balance retraining, and habituation exercises to help you adapt and recover faster.
We’ll provide home-based strategies and monitor your progress to ensure long-term improvement and reduced recurrence.
At Physio Pro, we take a hands-on, evidence-based approach to treating shin splints. Our experienced physiotherapists combine manual therapy, targeted exercises, and movement retraining to deliver lasting results, not just short-term relief. With modern clinics in Floreat and Como, we provide personalised, results-driven care trusted by Perth’s athletes, families, and active individuals alike.
The most common cause is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), where tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear become dislodged. This disrupts your balance system and causes dizziness, especially when turning your head or rolling over in bed.
Yes. Physiotherapy, particularly vestibular rehabilitation, is one of the most effective treatments for vertigo. It helps retrain your balance system, reduce dizziness, and restore normal movement through targeted exercises and repositioning techniques.
Recovery time depends on the cause. BPPV can often be resolved in one or two sessions, while other conditions like vestibular neuritis may take several weeks of guided rehabilitation. Your physiotherapist will tailor a treatment plan and monitor your progress closely.
Your physiotherapist will review your medical history and symptoms, then perform gentle movement and eye coordination tests to identify the cause. If BPPV is detected, specific manoeuvres such as the Epley or Semont may be used immediately to reposition the inner-ear crystals.
Avoiding movement may provide short-term relief but can delay recovery. Gradual, guided movement under a physiotherapist’s supervision helps your brain and inner ear adapt more effectively and reduces long-term dizziness.
See a physiotherapist if your dizziness or imbalance lasts more than a few days, is triggered by head movements, or interferes with daily activities. Early treatment improves outcomes and helps restore confidence in your balance.
