Welcome to The Vertigo Co

Do you have Dizziness? Vertigo? Balance issues?

You have come to the right place!

Let us help to treat, support and educate you on these common conditions at our vertigo clinic.

Vestibular Clinic Melbourne

Your Initial Consultation

Your Initial Vestibular Physiotherapy Consultation with The Vertigo Co will involve a one-to-one discussion of your Vertigo, Dizziness and Balance history to determine the likely cause of your symptoms. These symptoms may include Vertigo, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, balance problems, instability, veering when walking, falls or poor concentration and “brain fog”. Our Physiotherapists will perform a full physical assessment of your symptoms at our clinic located in Murrumbeena and discuss with you in detail the likely cause of your symptoms.

Individualised Treatment Programs

Once a cause for your symptoms has been determined, we will tailor a specific treatment program for your needs which may include:

Repositioning manoeuvres for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

Progressive home exercise programs (including special visual exercises, vestibular desensitization exercises, and Balance rehabilitation)

Falls prevention and fall risk minimization strategies.

Return to high-level sports activities training.

Referral to Specialist Services

Should your symptoms not resolve with Vestibular Physiotherapy, a referral to a trained specialist Doctor called a “Neuro-Otologist” or a Vestibular Audiologist for Vestibular Function Testing (VFTs) who works explicitly with Dizziness and Vertigo may be required.

The Vertigo Co can guide you through this process.
