At The Manual Therapy Clinic, our physiotherapists are trained in osteopathic techniques to take a holistic approach to treating patients.
By adopting an osteopathic point of view, they can use manual musculoskeletal (MSK; consisting of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments) manipulations to correct structural unbalances and aid with recovery.
What is it?
Vestibular physiotherapy/ rehabilitation is a specialised branch of physio that focuses on diagnosis and treating disorders related to balance and vestibular (inner-ear disorders).
Patients suffering from conditions such as: vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, and loss of mobility can benefit from vestibular physiotherapy. Physiotherapy often uses physio exercise with some manoeuvres designed to improve balance, and clear vertigo through canalith repositioning.
