Understanding BPPV
BPPV is characterized by brief episodes of vertigo triggered by head movements. Reliefic Physiotherapy performs specialized assessments of the vestibular system. Treatment involves positional maneuvers, vestibular rehabilitation, and balance retraining to relieve symptoms and restore confidence in movement.
Our Specialized Approach
- Dix-Hallpike & Roll Test AssessmentPerform standardized positional tests to identify affected semicircular canal and confirm BPPV diagnosis before treatment.
- Canalith Repositioning ManoeuvresApply Epley, Semont, or Barbeque roll manoeuvres to reposition displaced otoconia and resolve BPPV symptoms effectively.
- Post-Manoeuvre MonitoringMonitor symptom resolution following repositioning manoeuvres and reassess canal involvement if symptoms persist or recur.
- Habituation & Vestibular ExercisesPrescribe vestibular habituation exercises to reduce residual dizziness and retrain central compensation following canalith repositioning.
- Balance & Fall Prevention TrainingAddress balance deficits and fall risk through progressive stability exercises, particularly in older adults with BPPV.
- Education & Recurrence ManagementEducate on BPPV triggers, sleeping positions, and self-management strategies including home repositioning techniques for recurrence.
