Dizzy Clinic

More about DIZZY CLINIC

If you’ve ever experienced dizziness, you know how awful it can be. It can have an impact on everything you do and become very distressing, frustrating and limiting.

There can be many reasons why you might experience dizziness. Some of these may be medical and need medication, specialist tests and interventions. However, there is a particularly common cause of dizziness that is very easily treated with physiotherapy.

That condition is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo or BPPV for short. Our physiotherapists at goPhysio are able to treat BPPV using a specialist technique called the Epley manoeuvre.

The Epley manoeuvre is a series of movements of your head, guided by the therapist. It’s a quick and highly effective treatment. The precise series and combination of movements of your head utilise gravity and the shape of the canals in your ears to move the crystals. With each movement, the crystals move along to the next part of the canal until they move back into the organs that they are normally contained within.

It can be totally effective in as little as 1 appointment, although can take up to 3.
