Question 1

Can physiotherapy really treat vertigo and dizziness?

Accepted Answer

Yes — vestibular physiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for many dizziness conditions, particularly BPPV. The Epley manoeuvre, performed by a trained physiotherapist, resolves BPPV in most patients within one to three sessions. For other vestibular disorders, a structured programme of gaze-stabilisation and balance exercises significantly reduces symptoms and improves daily function.

Question 2

What is the Epley manoeuvre and can it be done at home?

Accepted Answer

The Epley manoeuvre is a specific sequence of head movements used to reposition crystals in the inner ear that cause BPPV. It can be performed at home by a trained physiotherapist — a home visit is often ideal, as patients are more relaxed and the therapist can observe your natural posture and movement. Your therapist may also teach you a self-treatment version for use between sessions.

Question 3

How many vestibular physiotherapy sessions will I need in Bangalore?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the cause of your dizziness. BPPV often resolves in one to three sessions. More complex conditions such as vestibular neuritis or central vestibular disorders typically require six to twelve sessions over four to eight weeks. Your therapist will give you an honest estimate after the initial assessment.

Question 4

Is it safe to have vestibular therapy at home if my balance is very poor?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — in fact, home-based vestibular rehabilitation is often safer than clinic visits for people with significant balance problems, as it eliminates the risk of falls during travel. Your therapist will ensure you are properly supported during all exercises and will adapt the programme to your home environment.

Question 5

My elderly parent keeps falling — could it be a vestibular problem?

Accepted Answer

It may be. Vestibular dysfunction is a significant and often under-diagnosed contributor to falls in older adults. Our therapist will assess whether inner ear dysfunction, balance decline, or other factors are involved, and build a rehabilitation plan accordingly. Even without a specific vestibular diagnosis, targeted balance training at home can dramatically reduce fall risk.
