What Can I Do for Vertigo? A Vestibular Physiotherapist Explains
If you’re experiencing vertigo, you’re not alone — and you’re not imagining it.
Vertigo is one of the most unsettling symptoms a person can experience. The room may feel like it’s spinning, you might feel nauseous or off balance, and simple movements like rolling over in bed or turning your head can suddenly feel overwhelming.
As a physiotherapist who specializes in vestibular rehabilitation, I see this regularly at MUV Therapy Physio & Sports Medicine in Mississauga. The good news? Most cases of vertigo are treatable — once we understand what’s actually causing it.
Let’s break this down clearly.
Why Do I Feel Dizzy When I Stand Up?
Do you get lightheaded when you stand up? You’re not alone—and it might be more than low blood pressure. At MUV Therapy in Mississauga, our vestibular physiotherapists help uncover the real reasons behind dizziness and offer proven treatment options that can get you steady on your feet again.
Treatment for Vestibular Hypofunction
Vestibular hypofunction is a condition where the vestibular system—the part of your inner ear and brain that helps control balance and eye movements—functions below normal levels. This can lead to symptoms like dizziness, vertigo, unsteadiness, and difficulty focusing or coordinating movement.
At MUV Therapy Physio & Sports Medicine in Mississauga, we specialize in vestibular physiotherapy and offer a comprehensive Vestibular Rehabilitation Program to help patients recover and regain confidence in their movement.
