Dizziness & Vertigo

If you experience vertigo, dizziness or imbalance vestibular physiotherapy can help you. Our Rope Neuro Rehabilitation therapists are experienced in vestibular rehabilitation to help you manage or overcome your symptoms.

The vestibular system includes the vestibular apparatus located in the inner ear and the brain that processes this information. The vestibular system is important to help maintain balance and for the stability of your gaze. When an injury or condition affects the vestibular system it can cause symptoms such as vertigo, spinning, light headiness, dizziness, staggering, imbalance, falls and motion sensitivity. These symptoms can have a significant impact on your life and the things you enjoy.
