Vestibular Physiotherapy Assessment

Service Description

A vestibular assessment is a specialised evaluation focused on identifying the cause of dizziness, vertigo, balance problems, or unsteadiness. These symptoms can arise from issues within the inner ear (vestibular system), the brain, or how the body and eyes coordinate movement and balance. At Aligned Physiotherapy, our vestibular assessments are conducted by physiotherapists with advanced training in vestibular rehabilitation. Your assessment will begin with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and how dizziness or balance issues are affecting your daily life. This is followed by a series of clinical tests to evaluate eye movements, balance, coordination, gait, and head or neck movement responses. In some cases, we may perform positional testing to diagnose conditions like BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). Our goal is to pinpoint the underlying cause of your symptoms and create a tailored treatment plan that may include specific repositioning techniques, balance training, gaze stability exercises, and education to help you feel more steady, confident, and in control.
