Vestibular Rehab (BPPV)

Our physiotherapists have training to help reduce vertigo, which is the sensation of spinning or feeling like the room is moving around you.

BPPV or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the number one vestibular disorder and it affects 10% of people over 65. It is the result of otoconia, or crystals, in the inner ear falling off hair cells into semi-circular canals that end up creating misinformation about where the head is in space. This creates the spinning sensation.

The good news is that BPPV is quite successfully treated with physiotherapy maneuvers that often just take a couple of treatments to work!
