Our Services
Vestibular Rehabilitation
WHAT IS VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION?
Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise programme for individuals with dizziness and/or imbalance. It involves putting together a personal exercise programme designed especially for you, to help with your symptoms.
The balance organs in the ears normally control head and eye coordination when we move our head. If there is damage to one or both of the balance organs then head and eye movements may not be coordinated, leading to dizziness and/or imbalance. BPPV is a common inner ear condition that causes short lasting vertigo (a type of dizziness usually described as a spinning), lasting under 1 minute, brought on by certain head or body positions (e.g. looking up or down, lying down or rolling bed). Abnormal breathing patterns also cause dizziness.
What does Vestibular Rehabilitation involve?
An individualised exercise plan will be devised for you. This may contain the following:
- Head/eye coordination exercises for dizziness
- Standing balance exercises
- Walking exercises
- Breathing control exercises
You will usually be required to carry out the exercises at home twice a day. You will then be given the option to be seen again to monitor your progression and further update your exercise plan.

Audiology in Care Homes
How can we help?
We are pleased to offer a comprehensive on-site Audiology and Balance Care Service designed specifically for residents of care and nursing homes.
Balance Care
To maintain balance we use a combination of information from the inner ears, eyes and our muscles and joints.
Aging can lead to decline in parts of our balance system and may make us more prone to falls.
How can we help?
We can provide exercises to focus on strengthening your balance system. This will lead to better balance and confidence, and reduce concerns about falling.

Tinnitus Counselling
Tinnitus is the perception of sound that is heard in the ears or the head, where there is no external acoustic source.
Tinnitus varies from person to person in terms of the sound they hear, duration, severity, and how it affects their everyday life.
How can we help?
Although tinnitus can be upsetting, help and support is available. Many people find that with the right advice, the impact of tinnitus can be greatly reduced.
