Dizziness and vertigo: what a physio assessment involves
Why dizziness is worth assessing
Dizziness has many causes, and a physiotherapy assessment can help identify whether an inner-ear (vestibular) problem is contributing.
What happens in an assessment
- A history of when symptoms started and what triggers them
- Eye-movement and positional testing
- Balance and gait screening
When to see your GP first
Sudden severe headache, new weakness, or changes to speech or vision need urgent medical review, not physiotherapy.
