Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular Rehabilitation is the treatment of vertigo (BPPV) and other types of dizziness.
It's a relatively new area of treatment where the research exploded in the 1990s. Our own Tricia has contributed to this research by focusing on the use of technology in vestibular rehabilitation, in fact her thesis was showcased on the recent RTE Programme "10 Things To Know About"...check out the link below if you missed it!

BPPV

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common form of vertigo. Treatment involves a simple canalith repositioning manoeuvre (such as the Epley) after assessment by your therapist. Your symptoms usually resolve immediately but may take a few more manouevres for others!

Central Dizziness

Central Dizziness is where the dizziness is caused by the central nervous system e.g. post stroke, cerebellar lesions, MS. Treatment involves habituation and rehabilitation along with adaptive techniques that should help you to cope with your dizziness

Vestibular Hypofunction / Chronic Dizziness

Vestibular Hypofunction is when one or both ears isn't working as effectively as it should. Treatment involves an exercise regime based on your assessment

Balance Rehabilitation

Dizziness and poor balance generally go hand in hand, therefore no vestibular assessment is complete without a balance assessment also. Plenty of exercises including various surfaces and eyes closed type exercises will aid your full recovery
