Does rolling over in bed make the room spin?
Does looking up or bending forward throw you off balance?

If yes, it could be Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), one of the most common causes of vertigo. ๐Ÿ”„

BPPV happens when tiny crystals in the inner ear shift into the wrong place, causing mixed messages between the ear + brain. The result? Moments of intense dizziness, especially with certain movements.

The best part?

BPPV responds amazingly well to specific repositioning techniques. ๐ŸŒ€
Many people find relief in just 1โ€“2 sessions! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Our vestibular physios will assess, diagnose, and if appropriate โ€” apply the repositioning manoeuvres straight away. If dizziness is disrupting your daily life or sleep, we can help.

Dizziness can feel like a mystery, unpredictable, confusing, and hard to explain. The truth is, there is almost always a specific cause, especially when the inner ear or brain pathways responsible for balance are involved. ๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿง 

Some common causes we see include:
โœ… BPPV
โœ… Vestibular migraine
โœ… Labyrinthitis
โœ… Vestibular neuritis
โœ… Mรฉniรจreโ€™s disease
โœ… 3PD / PPPD
โœ… Concussion

During a vestibular assessment, we take time to understand your symptoms, triggers, and goals. From there, we build a personalised rehab plan designed to retrain your balance system and reduce symptoms over time. ๐ŸŽฏ

Many people start to feel better sooner than they expect and say they wish theyโ€™d come in earlier! โœจ

If dizziness is limiting your confidence or day-to-day routine, itโ€™s worth getting checked.

Feeling dizzy or unsteady can be incredibly unsettling. Even simple things, getting out of bed, walking through a shop, or driving ๐Ÿš— can suddenly feel overwhelming. When dizziness comes and goes without warning, itโ€™s hard to trust your own body.

At East Cork Physiotherapy & Acupuncture, our specialist vestibular therapists help people just like you every day. Through a detailed assessment, we identify the real reason behind your dizziness and guide you with exercises that help your brain + balance system work together again. ๐Ÿง โš–๏ธ

The good news?
Many people notice meaningful improvement after just one or a few sessions ๐Ÿ™Œ
Once you understand whatโ€™s happening and what to do, confidence often returns quickly.

You donโ€™t have to accept dizziness as your new normal. There IS help, and you can feel like yourself again. ๐Ÿ’›
