Understanding Vertigo and Its Common Form, BPPV

Vertigo is often described as a sensation where either you or your surroundings seem to be moving without any actual motion. A specific type called positional vertigo occurs when head movements relative to gravity cause this sensation. One prevalent type of positional vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), a disorder stemming from the inner ear leading to repeated episodes of vertigo.

Physiotherapy for BPPV

BPPV stands for ‘Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo’ and is a type of dizziness commonly experienced by adults during movements of the head. Patients often describe it as a ‘room spinning’ dizziness as it feels like the room is spinning around them.

Most individuals with scoliosis can benefit from physiotherapy in order to address mobility impairments, muscle strength and length deficits and pain.
