🔸 A big welcome to Dylan Chen 🔸

Dylan is a physiotherapist with an international training background and a clinical focus on dizziness, vertigo, and balance-related conditions. He completed his undergraduate degree in Physiotherapy in Taiwan in 2017, including a six-month exchange placement at St Vincent’s Hospital in the United States, before completing his Master of Physiotherapy at the University of Canberra.

Dylan works with people experiencing ongoing or complex dizziness, unsteadiness, and movement-related symptoms. His clinical approach centres on careful assessment to identify contributing factors and the use of targeted vestibular rehabilitation to help patients regain confidence with movement, balance, and day-to-day activities.

His background in sports physiotherapy and concussion care supports patients whose dizziness or balance symptoms have developed following injury or periods of reduced tolerance to movement. Dylan is also involved in sports coverage, including national squash tournaments and the AFL Masters League in Canberra, reinforcing his understanding of balance, coordination, and safe return to activity.

Outside the clinic, Dylan is a former competitive volleyball player at NYMU and enjoys freediving, snowboarding, and camping, reflecting a strong personal interest in movement, balance, and performance.

Why Our Clinicians Choose Vestibular Care

Vestibular care isn’t easy - and that’s exactly why our clinicians choose it.

Dizziness is complex and often misunderstood. Helping someone regain confidence in their balance, return to daily activities, or feel safe moving again is incredibly rewarding.

Across all our locations, our clinicians are committed to ongoing learning, regularly attending courses and advanced training to stay at the forefront of vestibular care and best practice.

Dizzy Clinics Australia brings this expertise to communities across NSW and the ACT.

Dizzy Digest: Meniere’s Disease

What is it?
Meniere’s Disease is a condition of the inner ear causing repeated episodes of vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, and pressure or fullness in one ear. It most commonly affects adults aged 40–60.

Common symptoms
• Sudden vertigo lasting 20 minutes to several hours
• Fluctuating hearing loss
• Ringing or buzzing in the ear
• Ear fullness or pressure
• Ongoing imbalance after attacks

Why does it happen?
It’s thought to be related to a build-up of fluid in the inner ear. The exact cause is unknown and may involve genetic, autoimmune, or environmental factors.

How is it diagnosed?
Diagnosis is based on your history, hearing tests, and ruling out other causes. Imaging may be used to exclude other conditions.

How is it treated?
• Salt and caffeine reduction
• Vestibular rehabilitation
• Medications during acute attacks
• Hearing support if needed
• In severe cases, injections or surgery

Meniere’s Disease requires careful assessment and ongoing management, which is available at Dizzy Clinics Australia.

Your Eyes Reveal Balance Function

Eye movements provide powerful information about how the balance system is working.

That’s why careful observation of eye movements is such an important part of vestibular assessment. The eyes are directly linked to the inner ear and brain, and changes in eye movement can reveal how well these systems are communicating.

The video shown here demonstrates a resting nystagmus following vestibular neuritis. This occurs when one inner ear is no longer sending normal signals, creating a mismatch between the two sides. The brain interprets this asymmetrical input as movement, which drives involuntary eye movements even when the person is still.

Identifying signs like this helps guide accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Dizzy Clinics Australia uses objective assessment and evidence-based testing to guide care across NSW and the ACT.

Dizzy Digest: Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS)

What is it?
Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS) is a rare neurological condition where people feel a persistent rocking, swaying or bobbing sensation. It most often starts after travel such as a boat cruise, flight, or long car trip. Interestingly, symptoms often feel better when back in motion (like riding in a car).

Common symptoms
• Rocking or swaying sensation
• Feeling off balance or unsteady
• Visual motion sensitivity
• Brain fog, anxiety, or low mood
• Symptoms often improve with movement

Why does it happen?
The brain adapts to constant motion during travel but struggles to switch back once the movement stops. This leaves a lingering sensation of motion even when still.

How is it diagnosed?
Diagnosis is based on your history and symptoms. Scans and tests are often normal, so MdDS is usually diagnosed by excluding other causes.

How is it treated?
• Vestibular rehabilitation
• Visual or optometric therapies
• Medications to help manage symptoms
• Stress and nervous system management

MdDS can be complex, but it is something we regularly assess and manage at Dizzy Clinics Australia.

Does walking and looking side to side make you dizzy?

Walking down a supermarket aisle and turning your head to look at the shelves should feel automatic.

If that simple movement makes you dizzy, unsteady, or “off”, you’re not alone. Many of our patients tell us this is one of their most frustrating symptoms.

Difficulty walking while looking side to side is a common sign of vestibular system impairment. It reflects reduced coordination between your inner ear, eyes, and balance system.

The good news?
This is very treatable.

With the right assessment and targeted vestibular rehabilitation, this system can be retrained. Symptoms often improve significantly when the underlying issue is identified and addressed properly.

At Dizzy Clinics Australia, we assess this carefully and tailor treatment to help you move confidently again — in the supermarket, at work, and in everyday life.

Feeling dizzy doesn’t mean you have to live with it.

04/02/2026

At Dizzy Clinics Australia, assessment starts with listening.

Dizziness and balance symptoms are complex, and the details of your experience often hold the biggest clues. How it started, what makes it worse, what it feels like, and how it’s affecting your life all guide our clinical reasoning.

We place a strong focus on:

🔸Taking time to hear your full story

🔸Clear, honest patient education

🔸Explaining what we’re thinking and why

🔸Combining your history with objective testing

A thorough history, paired with gold-standard assessments, allows us to reach accurate diagnoses and build treatment plans that actually make sense to you.

Because good care isn’t just about what we see in testing.
It’s about understanding the person in front of us.
