Vestibular Rehabilitation at Home
Specialist vestibular physiotherapy to reduce dizziness, improve balance, and restore confidence — delivered directly in your home.
Vestibular rehabilitation helps people experiencing dizziness, imbalance, vertigo, motion sensitivity or visual instability caused by inner-ear or neurological conditions. These symptoms occur when the brain receives mismatched information from the visual system, inner ear, and proprioception.
NeuMove Physio provides personalised vestibular rehabilitation at home to help you regain stability, reduce dizziness, and return to daily activities with confidence.
What Causes Vestibular Problems?
Vestibular symptoms can arise from:
Inner-Ear Disorders
Neurological Conditions
- BPPV
- Vestibular neuritis
- Labyrinthitis
- Ménière’s disease
- Stroke
- Multiple sclerosis
- Parkinson’s disease
- Post-concussion syndrome
Age-Related Changes
Reduced vestibular function and slower balance reactions.
Visual or Proprioceptive Mismatch
Difficulty integrating sensory information from eyes, inner ear and body.
Common Vestibular Symptoms
Dizziness — Spinning, swaying or lightheaded sensations.
Vertigo — False sense of rotation, often triggered by head movements.
Balance Problems — Unsteadiness, veering to one side, or difficulty standing still.
Motion Sensitivity — Dizziness triggered by head turns, busy environments or visual motion.
Nausea — Often linked to dizziness or vertigo.
Blurred Vision / Visual Disturbances — Difficulty focusing or “jumping” vision during movement.
Difficulty Walking — Unsteady gait, reduced confidence, fear of falling.
Fatigue — Vestibular compensation requires more effort.
Anxiety About Movement — Fear of triggering dizziness or losing balance.
Red-Flag Symptoms
These symptoms require urgent medical review:
- Sudden severe headache
- Double vision
- New weakness or numbness
- Difficulty speaking
- Sudden hearing loss
- Severe imbalance preventing standing
Vestibular physiotherapy is safe and effective, but serious symptoms should be assessed by a medical professional.
Why These Symptoms Occur
Vestibular symptoms occur when the brain receives conflicting information from:
- Inner ear (vestibular system)
- Eyes (visual system)
- Body sensors (proprioception)
When these systems don’t align, the brain struggles to interpret movement and position, causing dizziness, imbalance, and motion sensitivity.
How Physiotherapy Helps Vestibular Recovery
Vestibular rehabilitation retrains the brain to correctly process movement signals. Your programme is personalised based on your symptoms, triggers, and functional goals.
Physiotherapy Focus Areas
- Gaze Stabilisation
- Balance Retraining

- Gait Training
- Postural Control
- Functional Practice
- Education & Self-Management
What a Vestibular Assessment Includes
Your home-visit vestibular assessment may include:
- Detailed symptom history
- Eye movement testing
- Balance and postural control assessment
- Gait and mobility evaluation
- Positional testing for BPPV
- Visual motion sensitivity screening
- Functional movement analysis
- Goal setting and personalised plan creation
Practical Advice for Managing Vestibular Symptoms
If You Feel Dizzy — Focus on a stable point; avoid rapid head movements.
If Balance Feels Unsteady — Stand near a stable surface; keep your environment clutter-free.
If Motion Sensitivity Is High — Start with slow, controlled movements; gradually increase exposure.
If Walking Feels Difficult — Use visual cues; practise equal step lengths; take breaks when needed.
If Anxiety Is Present — Move slowly, breathe steadily, and follow guided exercises.

Vestibular Rehabilitation & Technology
Virtual Reality (VR) Rehabilitation — Simulated environments challenge balance, visual motion tolerance, and coordination.
Movement & Balance Assessment Technology — Precise monitoring of balance reactions, gait stability, and progress.
Expected Recovery Timeline
Recovery varies depending on the condition:
- BPPV: Often improves within 1–3 sessions
- Vestibular neuritis: Several weeks to months
- PPPD: Gradual improvement over months
- Post-concussion: Variable, depends on symptoms
- Age-related vestibular decline: Ongoing management
Your physiotherapist will guide you through each stage.
