Understanding vertigo and dizziness
- Spinning triggered by rolling in bed or looking up
- Unsteadiness walking, especially turning
- Light-headedness in busy visual environments
- Nausea with head movement
- A feeling of the ground moving or swaying
- Anxiety about falling that shrinks your world
- BPPV: loose crystals in the inner ear, the most common and most fixable cause
- Reduced inner-ear function after infection or with age
- The balance system deconditioning after a period of avoiding movement
- Neck-driven dizziness, and migraine-associated dizziness
- If brief spinning is triggered by lying down, rolling over or looking up
- If unsteadiness is affecting confidence walking
- If dizziness has lingered after an illness
- Seek urgent medical help for dizziness with sudden severe headache, weakness, slurred speech or double vision
Our approach to dizziness
Test the balance system properly, fix BPPV on the spot where present, and retrain the rest.
Your assessment includes the positional tests that identify BPPV. Where it is present, repositioning manoeuvres such as the Epley often resolve the spinning within one or two sessions, which patients tend to describe as small miracles.
For other causes, vestibular rehabilitation retrains the balance system with graded head-movement and balance exercises. Progress is usually steady and measurable, and confidence returns alongside steadiness.

Google review →“I have seen several different therapists at Sammy Margo’s over many years. Every one has been excellent. When I was recovering from a hip replacement the physio I received helped me recover really quickly. Highly recommended.”
Google review →“I had a full hip replacement following a cycle accident, and have daily physio visits on weekdays for three weeks. I am already able to walk short distances without a stick or crutch, and this is entirely due to the work they have done with me.”
