Vestibular Physiotherapy
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialised form of therapy designed to alleviate both the primary and secondary impairments related to a range of vestibular (inner ear) disorders. It often consists of an exercise-based program designed to reduce vertigo and dizziness, enhance gaze stability or visual focus, improve balance and stability and reduce the risk of falls. It may also include treatment of any secondary impairments that result from the vestibular disorder, such as neck pain and tension, headaches, nausea, fatigue, poor concentration and de-conditioning.
Conditions we treat:
- Menieres disease
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional vertigo
- Vestibular Neuronitis
Treatment we offer for vestibular disorders are repositioning manoeuvres, head and eye co-ordination exercises, balance and gait retraining, hands-on soft tissue and joint mobilisation, aerobic re-conditioning, falls prevention strategies and reintegration back into normal daily activities such as work and exercise.
Oncology Physiotherapy
More and more people are being diagnosed and surviving cancer. Treatment for cancer typically includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and endocrine (hormone) treatment. These treatments commonly cause many patients to develop undesirable side effects. These may lead to impairments such as- pain, fatigue, restricted movement, lymphoedema, weakness and osteoporosis. Cancer treatment can also affect physical function and cardiovascular health. All these can have a significant negative impact on quality of life. Oncology Rehabilitation and exercise can help to reduce the impact of these side effects.
