What is the vestibular system?

What is the vestibular system?

The vestibular system sits in the inner ear and helps your body to:

  • Keep its balance
  • Coordinate head and eye movements
  • Stay oriented when moving

If the vestibular system isn’t working properly, it can lead to dizziness, imbalance, and reduced confidence with movement.

Common vestibular symptoms
You may benefit from vestibular physiotherapy if you experience:

    • Dizziness or vertigo (a spinning sensation)
    • Feeling unsteady or off balance
    • Nausea or light-headedness
    • Blurred vision when moving your head
    • Symptoms triggered by bending, turning, or walking
