Do you suffer from dizziness or vertigo?
Are these symptoms interfering with your everyday life? At My Physio Capalaba, we can help.
Dizziness is not only frustrating — it can affect your confidence, mobility, work, and quality of life. Our experienced physiotherapists understand how debilitating vestibular conditions can be, which is why we continually strive to provide the highest standard of vestibular rehabilitation and vertigo treatment for our patients.
We regularly treat patients experiencing vestibular symptoms, including dizziness, balance problems, and vertigo. Our physiotherapists are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of vestibular conditions. We work closely with you to identify the cause of your symptoms and develop a personalised treatment plan to improve your balance, mobility, and overall wellbeing.
Common Symptoms of Vertigo & Vestibular Disorders
If you experience any of the following symptoms, vestibular physiotherapy may help:
- Dizziness or light-headedness
- Vertigo or spinning sensations
- Blurred or disturbed vision
- Nausea or vomiting
- Poor balance or increased risk of falls
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sensitivity to head movements
- Neck or upper back stiffness associated with dizziness
Vestibular dysfunction can range from mild and annoying to severe and debilitating. For some people, symptoms can make it difficult to walk, drive, work, or participate in everyday activities. Ongoing dizziness may also contribute to anxiety, stress, fatigue, and reduced quality of life.
What are the symptoms of Vertigo?
- Dizziness
- Blurred vision
- Nausea / Vomiting
- Illusion of motion

- Impaired balance/risk of falls
What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving when there is no actual movement. It is commonly associated with nausea and balance problems and may worsen with certain head positions or movements.
One of the most common causes of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), which often causes dizziness when:
- Rolling over in bed
- Getting up in the morning
- Looking upward
- Tilting the head back
