Struggling with dizziness or balance problems?
Dizziness can come out of nowhere. For some, it’s a sudden spinning sensation. For others, it’s a vague unsteadiness that doesn’t seem to go away. Either way, it can shake your confidence and make everyday things feel harder than they should.
At Integrity Physiotherapy, we see this a lot. Our team provides vestibular physiotherapy in Perth for people dealing with vertigo, dizziness, and balance problems, helping you understand what’s going on and what you can do about it.
With the right treatment plan, many of our clients notice real improvements in balance and confidence. It’s about finding what’s driving your symptoms and putting a clear plan in place.
How vertigo physiotherapy helps you find your balance again
Vertigo physio can play a big role in calming dizziness and restoring steadiness. At Integrity Physiotherapy, we focus on treatments that directly retrain your balance system and reduce the symptoms that hold you back.
We focus on:
- Repositioning manoeuvres to treat BPPV and reset your inner ear balance
- Balance and gaze retraining exercises to improve steadiness in daily life
- Hands-on treatment for the neck if cervical issues are part of the problem
- Simple, practical guidance so you know exactly what to do at home between sessions
Each plan is tailored to your symptoms and goals, with the aim of helping you move with more confidence and less worry.
What could be causing your vertigo or dizziness?
Vertigo and dizziness can come from different parts of the body, which is why it’s important to get the right assessment before jumping to treatment. Some of the most common causes we see in clinic include:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) – when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear move into the wrong place, sending confusing signals to the brain.
- Vestibular neuritis – inflammation of the vestibular nerve, often linked to a viral illness, that can trigger sudden and severe dizziness.
- Cervical dizziness – stiffness or dysfunction in the upper neck that disrupts your sense of balance.
- Labyrinthitis and inner ear infections – inflammation that affects hearing as well as balance.
- Other medical factors – such as migraines, circulation issues, or low blood pressure, which may also play a role.
Your physiotherapist will take the time to assess your symptoms, medical history, and movement patterns to pinpoint the likely cause. From there, we create a tailored vestibular physiotherapy plan to help restore your balance and get you back to daily life with confidence.
Common vestibular disorders and symptoms we can help with
Vertigo and dizziness can have many different presentations, and no two cases look exactly the same. Some conditions affect the inner ear directly, while others are linked to the neck or nervous system.
These are some of the vestibular disorders and symptoms we often treat with physiotherapy:
- A spinning or swaying feeling
- Feeling off balance or unsteady on your feet
- Light-headedness or a floating sensation
- Nausea or motion sickness
- Headaches or vestibular migraines
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Sweating or feeling faint
- Loss of coordination or clumsiness
- Difficulty walking in busy or dark environments
At Integrity Physiotherapy, we carefully assess your symptoms and medical history to identify the likely cause. From there, a tailored vestibular physiotherapy plan can help improve balance, reduce dizziness, and restore confidence in daily movement.
Every case of vertigo or dizziness is different. From your first appointment, we take the time to understand your symptoms, your health history, and how dizziness affects your day-to-day life. This lets us build a treatment plan that is specific to you, not a generic program.
Thorough assessment and clear diagnosis
We start by carefully assessing your balance system to work out what’s driving your symptoms. This may involve positional testing, balance checks, or examining how your eyes and neck respond to movement.
Target vestibular treatment
Your treatment may involve repositioning manoeuvres, tailored vestibular rehabilitation exercises, or hands-on therapy for the neck if it’s contributing to your dizziness. Everything we do is designed to address the root cause of your problem.
Personalised care plans
No two cases are the same. Your plan is tailored to your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals, with a focus on helping you regain confidence in daily movement.

Recovery doesn’t stop at the clinic. We’ll equip you with simple strategies and exercises you can use at home, so you continue to progress and know how to handle flare-ups.
