What is vestibular rehabilitation?

Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialised form of physical/occupational therapy to address dizziness, imbalance, difficulty maintaining clear vision, and functional decline as a result of vestibular disorders. A vestibular disorder can cause permanent deficits, so therapy is often designed to allow compensation. Compensation involves the brain learning to use the other senses (vision and somatosensory, i.e. body sense) to substitute for the deficient vestibular system.

What measures are you taking to protect against Covid-19?

We’ll be following the latest government guidliness at the time of your visit. This could include wearing masks and social distancing and will always include regular santisation and an increased focus on hygiene.

What is TMJ?

The jaw is also known as the TMJ or Temporomandibular Joint. It can be painful as a result of injury, inflammatory disease, poor postures and habits or growth disorders.
