Vestibular & Vertigo Physiotherapy in Daisy Hill

Daisy Hill Physiotherapy provides hands-on vestibular assessment and treatment for BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), vestibular neuritis, post-concussion dizziness and other balance disorders. Our clinicians are trained in the Dix–Hallpike test and Epley repositioning manoeuvre, and we have established direct referral pathways to Logan Hospital’s specialised Vestibular Clinic for complex cases requiring the Bertec CDP/IVR equipment. We’re at Unit 4, 11–13 Allamanda Drive, Daisy Hill QLD 4127, serving Logan, Springwood, Shailer Park, Underwood, Loganholme and the wider Brisbane south corridor.

Conditions we assess and treat

• BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) — the most common cause of vertigo. Diagnosed with Dix–Hallpike, treated with Epley or BBQ-roll manoeuvres. Most patients see resolution in 1–3 sessions.
• Vestibular neuritis & labyrinthitis — acute inner-ear inflammation. Vestibular rehabilitation accelerates central compensation.
• Ménière’s disease — management of associated balance issues between acute episodes.
• Persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) — chronic dizziness after a vestibular event, managed with graded vestibular rehab.
• Post-concussion dizziness — often a mix of cervicogenic, vestibular and oculomotor causes; we assess and treat each component.
• Bilateral vestibular hypofunction — balance retraining and substitution strategies.
• Age-related balance decline — falls prevention, strength + balance combination programs.

Our vestibular assessment

Your first appointment is a 45-minute initial consultation in a private treatment room. We start with a detailed symptom history — what triggers the dizziness, how long episodes last, associated hearing or visual changes — then move to physical assessment:

• Oculomotor testing — smooth pursuit, saccades, gaze stability
• Head impulse test (HIT) — for peripheral vestibular function
• Dix–Hallpike test — the diagnostic standard for BPPV
• Cervical spine examination — to rule in or out cervicogenic dizziness
• Standing balance, gait and dynamic visual acuity testing

If BPPV is confirmed, treatment usually happens in the same appointment with the Epley or appropriate canalith-repositioning manoeuvre. Most patients leave with significant relief.

When we refer on

Complex cases — bilateral hypofunction, central vestibular signs, suspected Ménière’s, suspected vestibular schwannoma — are referred to Logan Hospital’s Vestibular Clinic (which has the Bertec CDP/IVR equipment), an ENT specialist or a neurologist. We coordinate the referral and continue to manage the rehabilitation alongside the specialist team.

Frequently asked questions — vestibular & vertigo physiotherapy

How long does BPPV treatment take?
Most patients see significant improvement after one Epley manoeuvre. Some require 2–3 sessions to fully resolve symptoms, especially if multiple semicircular canals are involved.

Should I see a GP first?
If dizziness is sudden, severe, accompanied by hearing loss, neurological signs or a recent head injury, see a GP or attend an Emergency Department first. For typical positional vertigo without red-flag symptoms, you can come directly to physiotherapy.

Will I feel dizzy after the Epley manoeuvre?
Brief intense dizziness during the manoeuvre is normal and means the test is working. Some patients feel mildly unsettled for 24–48 hours afterwards. Most feel substantially better.

Are you NDIS registered for vestibular rehabilitation?
Yes — we’re a registered NDIS provider for self-managed, plan-managed and NDIA-managed participants.

Can vestibular physio help with post-concussion dizziness?
Yes — post-concussion dizziness often has vestibular, cervical and oculomotor components. We assess each and target treatment accordingly.

Do you treat children with vertigo?
Yes — paediatric vestibular cases are less common but we treat children with confirmed BPPV, post-concussion dizziness and balance issues.
