Regain Your Balance with Vestibular Therapy in London
Do you experience dizziness, vertigo, or balance issues? Our Vestibular Rehabilitation and Vestibular Physiotherapy in London can help restore your equilibrium and improve your quality of life.
Vestibular disorders affect the inner ear and nervous system, leading to symptoms like vertigo, dizziness, nausea, and unsteadiness. At Hito Holistic Health, our experienced therapists use specialised exercises and hands-on techniques to retrain your brain and body for optimal balance.
What is Vestibular Rehabilitation?
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialised therapy designed to alleviate symptoms related to vestibular disorders. These conditions affect the inner ear and balance systems, leading to dizziness, vertigo, and coordination issues.
All our therapists are trained in Vestibular Physiotherapy and provide targeted treatments for conditions such as:
- Dizziness and vertigo
- Vestibular migraine
- Labyrinthitis
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
Through tailored exercises and rehabilitation techniques, we help patients regain stability and improve their daily function.
How Does Vestibular Rehabilitation Work?
There are multiple signals that contribute to balance and posture, but three key systems must function properly for recovery:
- Visual System (Eyes) – Helps maintain focus and spatial awareness.
- Vestibular System (Inner Ear) – Detects motion and head position.
- Proprioceptive System (Neck & Body) – Provides feedback on body position and movement.
When one of these systems is impaired, the body must compensate. Vestibular rehabilitation focuses on:
- Neck Treatment – Improves mobility, flexibility, and restores cervical alignment.
- Balance Training – Progressive exercises to improve stability and coordination.
- Gaze Stability Exercises – Specific techniques to enhance eye-head-neck coordination.
After an accurate assessment, our therapists prescribe a personalised exercise plan while providing hands-on neck treatment to support recovery.
Understanding the Recovery Timeline: How Long Does Vestibular Rehabilitation Take?
Vestibular conditions can be debilitating, but it’s important to set realistic expectations:
- Average recovery time: 6 months
- Best-case scenario: 1-3 months
- Complex cases: Up to 1 year
Most patients see improvement from the first treatment, though progress can fluctuate with ups and downs.
Our therapists document each session’s progress, ensuring that patients stay on track and receive ongoing support.
Coping with the Emotional Impact of Vestibular Conditions & Overcoming Vestibular Anxiety
Many patients experience emotional challenges during recovery, including:
Frustration from fluctuating symptoms
Fear of relapses
Vestibular anxiety – avoidance of normal activities due to fear of dizziness
We provide supportive strategies to help patients manage stress and anxiety, including:
Mindfulness and relaxation techniques
Breathing exercises
Lifestyle adjustments for stress reduction
For those needing additional support, we may recommend mental health counselling, breathwork, or coaching.
Treatment for BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)
If you suffer from BPPV, where displaced inner ear crystals cause vertigo, we use specialised repositioning manoeuvres, including:
- Epley Maneuver
- Semont Maneuver
- Foster Maneuver
- Brandt-Daroff Exercises
Performed by our vestibular physiotherapists or ENT specialists, these techniques often provide complete recovery within a few weeks.
