What is an inner ear (vestibular) condition?
The vestibular system, which resides in the inner ear and brain, processes sensory information. It is responsible for controlling eye movements and balance. When this system is affected by disease or injury, it may result in dizziness, vertigo, nausea, imbalance and stumbling, and/or migraines. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis and vestibular migraine are common vestibular diagnoses.
Common challenges with inner ear conditions
The sudden onset of an inner ear problem can often be quite distressing. Dizziness, vertigo, a ‘spinning’ or ‘whirling’ sensation and nausea can lead to difficulties walking, stumbling, tripping, and falls.
How we can help
Dizziness & balance problems can be the result of problems in the inner ear. Similar symptoms may result from stress, dehydration, heart problems, and vision issues. Or, there may be neurological causes. Our neurophysios with additional training in vestibular disorders are expertly placed to be able to help assess and treat appropriately. Call us and we can arrange for you to speak to one of our vestibular trained specialists.

Testimonials
What They Say
I have been the fortunate recipient of expert and professional physiotherapy from Ali and Katy following a stroke. They are professional and compassionate, very expert and great fun; their expertise and appointments have been both necessary and a delight. I would recommend this firm very highly and without reserve, and their staff are deserving of the highest praise.
Kenneth Walker
I’ve been working with Kenny for around five years, initially for surgical rehabilitation and then for ongoing mild cerebral palsy. He has been so encouraging and supportive throughout. He regularly changes my programme to keep me motivated and always pushes me to be my physical and functional best. I’ve seen huge changes since we started working together!
Kathleen McNish
Bob was in a very poor condition when Catriona came to see us, and he is making very good progress. Catriona is always positive and in just a few weeks has made a big difference in Bob’s life, and we can’t thank her enough for all her help.
Christine Chrystal
This company has helped me regain much more of my balance and core strength lost in the first lockdown. Through weekly visits, with plenty of exercises to do daily in between, I have come a long way to regaining core strength and balance. Thank you to a wonderful specialist physiotherapist that makes each visit to give me more confidence.
Bernadette Hendry
Tracey is always pleasant, considerate, and obviously a dedicated first-class therapist. She has done a great deal for my wife’s condition (disability and tremor following a stroke), not least for her morale. She gives great encouragement. Her visits have become friendly occasions for my wife, who frequently asks when Tracey is coming back.
Tom Brown
