Physiotherapy for Vertigo Triggered by Position Changes (BPPV)
Do you feel sudden dizziness when turning in bed, looking up, or bending down? Does the room seem to spin for a few seconds during certain head movements? Are you avoiding daily activities because of fear of dizziness? Symptoms may be related to Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).
BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo. It occurs when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear become displaced & move into the wrong part of the balance system. This can trigger brief episodes of spinning sensations with specific head movements.
Vestibular physiotherapy can effectively treat BPPV by repositioning the displaced crystals.
Treatment focuses on:
Detailed assessment of dizziness symptoms
Canalith repositioning maneuvers
Balance and gait training
Vestibular rehabilitation exercises
Education to reduce recurrence risk
Benefits of Early Treatment Many people experience significant relief after appropriate repositioning techniques.
Treatment can help:
Reduce dizziness episodes
Improve balance and confidence
Lower the risk of falls
Restore normal daily activities
Avoid sudden head movements during severe episodes, stay hydrated, move carefully when getting out of bed, & seek professional assessment.
