Living with vertigo can be an incredibly challenging experience. For those who have suffered long-term, the constant dizziness and balance issues can make daily life feel like an uphill battle.

Understanding Vertigo
Vertigo is more than just feeling dizzy. It can cause nausea, balance issues, and a sense of spinning that disrupts everyday activities. Long-term sufferers know how it can affect not just physical health, but also emotional well-being. But with the right treatments and exercises, recovery is possible.
Effective Treatments and Exercises for Vertigo
Simone has developed a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to the unique needs of each vertigo patient. Here are some key components of her approach:
- Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT): This exercise-based program aims to improve balance and reduce dizziness-related problems. VRT includes specific movements and exercises that help retrain the brain to process signals from the vestibular system more effectively.
- Canalith Repositioning Manoeuvres: For those suffering from Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), Simone employs techniques such as the Epley manoeuvre. This involves a series of head and body movements to move calcium crystals out of the ear canal, alleviating symptoms.
- Balance Training: Balance exercises are crucial for vertigo sufferers. Simone incorporates activities that challenge the vestibular system, helping patients regain stability and confidence in their movements.
- Education and Support: Simone believes in empowering her patients with knowledge. She provides education on managing vertigo symptoms, lifestyle modifications, and strategies to cope with the emotional impacts of the condition.
