Do you frequently feel lightheaded or unsteady on your feet? Does it seem like the room is spinning, or you’re at risk of stumbling or falling? These are all signs of dizziness, a common and often disruptive condition that can affect your quality of life.
At Perfect Motion Physiotherapy in Adelaide, we specialise in helping people overcome dizziness and related symptoms through personalised, evidence-based physiotherapy care. If you’re struggling with dizziness, we’re here to help you feel grounded again.
What Is Dizziness?
Dizziness is an altered sense of balance and stability. It may be described as:
- Light-headedness or faintness
- A spinning or swaying sensation
- Unsteadiness or loss of equilibrium
- Feeling “heavy-headed” or “off”
While occasional dizziness might be harmless, ongoing symptoms may point to an underlying vestibular, neurological, cardiovascular, or visual issue that needs assessment and treatment.
Common Symptoms Associated with Dizziness
Dizziness can present with a range of symptoms, such as:
- Feeling faint or about to pass out
- Nausea or vomiting
- Tunnel vision or visual disturbances
- Unsteadiness when walking
- Difficulty concentrating
- Balance loss or frequent stumbling
These symptoms may be triggered by:
- Inner ear dysfunction (e.g. BPPV)
- Migraines
- Orthostatic hypotension (drop in blood pressure when standing)
- Medications or alcohol
- Fatigue, dehydration, or poor diet
- Visual issues or neurological conditions
If any of this sounds familiar, physiotherapy may be the key to long-term relief.
How Can Physiotherapy Help with Dizziness?
Our Adelaide-based physiotherapists are trained in vestibular rehabilitation and other balance-related therapies. Your first visit at Perfect Motion Physiotherapy will include a full physical assessment and a review of your medical history to determine the cause of your dizziness.
Your personalised treatment plan may include:
- Vestibular therapy: Targeted head and body movements (e.g. the Epley Manoeuvre) to treat BPPV and inner ear disorders
- Balance and gait training: Exercises that retrain the brain and body to improve coordination and reduce falls
- Manual therapy: To address neck or postural issues contributing to dizziness
- Education and self-management: So you can confidently manage symptoms and know when to seek further medical advice
We collaborate with your GP or specialist if your dizziness is linked to visual, cardiac, or neurological conditions to ensure a holistic care plan.
