What is vertigo?
Vertigo is often a sign of a more serious problem, such as the brain or inner ear failing to maintain balance and spatial orientation. It is not a sickness by itself.
Common causes include:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Happens when the head moves in particular ways.
- Labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis: The inner ear or nerves are swelling.
- Vestibular Migraines: Connected to migraine attacks.
- Ménière's Disease: This happens when fluid builds up in the ear canal.
Dizziness is the most common symptom, although tinnitus, vertigo, and trouble with coordination are all common.
Vestibular rehabilitation treatment is one of the best ways to treat balance problems and vertigo.
How Simba Health Can Help
Aside from treating vertigo with physiotherapy, Simba Health can help patients regain balance and mobility using advanced assessment methods and customized therapy plans.
Vestibular Physiotherapy and Balance Training
Physiotherapists are trained in vestibular rehabilitation treatment (VRT), which has been proven to aid with symptoms and give clients back their confidence in movement.
Personalized VRT plans may include:
- Gaze stabilisation exercises
- Balance and gait training
- Positioning manoeuvres (like those for BPPV treatment)
- Strength and mobility work to reduce fall risk
Vestibular physiotherapy improves eye-head coordination, balance, and motion tolerance, significantly enhancing quality of life.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
At Simba Health, treatment begins with a full, private consultation and physical exam.
Physiotherapists may perform:
- Balance and gait analysis
- Eye and head coordination tests
- Inner ear function assessments
- Positional testing for BPPV treatment
After evaluation, a realistic, effective plan tailored to daily life is created.
VRT may greatly speed up healing in patients with vestibular dysfunctions, particularly if they start treatment early.

When Should You Seek Help?
You should consider seeing a vertigo physiotherapist if:
- You feel dizzy for more than a few seconds.
- You have trouble walking or keeping your equilibrium.
- You have problems with your hearing, vision, or coordination.
- Your symptoms make it difficult to accomplish normal tasks.
Early intervention is key — vestibular treatment works much better when dizzy symptoms are diagnosed early.
