Expert Care for Dizziness, Vertigo & Balance in Bondi Junction

1 in 20 Australians will experience a significant vestibular issue in their lifetime; a figure that rises to over 35% for those aged 50 and over.

Dizziness and vertigo can be some of the most disorienting experiences a person can face, yet they are often misunderstood or dismissed as something you just have to "live with." Whether you are struggling with a sudden spinning sensation (Vertigo), feeling "off-balance" while walking, or experiencing lightheadedness when changing positions, these symptoms can quickly narrow your world.

At Vantage Point Physiotherapy, we don’t just treat the surface-level symptoms; we provide a clear, personalised roadmap to help you understand the "why" behind your dizziness and build long-term confidence in your stability.

Specialist Support to Find Your Centre Again

We understand how paralysing vestibular issues can be; making it difficult to drive, work, or even move around your own home without the fear of falling or nausea.

Our team, led by APA Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists, is dedicated to restoring your sense of balance. Using evidence-based assessment and treatment techniques, we focus on:

  • Rapid Symptom Relief: Utilising specific manoeuvres (such as the Epley Manoeuvre for BPPV) to frequently resolve spinning sensations in as little as 1–2 sessions.

  • Gaze & Balance Retraining: Personalised exercises to help your brain and eyes work together again, reducing "brain fog" and visual blurring during movement.

  • Functional Confidence: Targeted habituation and balance training to desensitise your system to triggers, helping you return to the activities you love without the fear of a flare-up.

Expert Care for Vestibular Conditions

At Vantage Point, your recovery is guided by APA Titled Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists. Our clinicians bring advanced clinical expertise to the management of various vestibular conditions, such as:

Vestibular Neuritis

Vestibular neuritis is an inner ear condition caused by inflammation of the vestibular nerve, which is responsible for balance. It typically results from a viral infection, leading to sudden onset dizziness, vertigo, and sometimes nausea. Unlike BPPV, vestibular neuritis is not caused by a positional change, but rather a disruption in the signals sent from the inner ear to the brain.

The symptoms of vestibular neuritis are often sudden and can be triggered by movements of the head or body, leading to severe dizziness or vertigo. The condition usually develops following a viral illness, like a cold or flu, and can last from a few days to several weeks. It may also result in imbalance and difficulty with coordination, which can affect daily activities and movement.

Meniere’s Disease

Meniere’s disease is a chronic condition that affects the inner ear, causing episodes of vertigo, ringing in the ear (tinnitus), and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear. It occurs due to an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the inner ear, which disrupts the balance and hearing mechanisms. The cause of this fluid buildup is not fully understood but may be linked to genetics, viral infections, or autoimmune factors.

The symptoms of Meniere’s disease often come in sudden, intense episodes that can last for several hours. These episodes can be triggered by stress, changes in weather, or certain foods and drinks (like those high in salt or caffeine). In between episodes, many individuals experience a temporary reduction in hearing or a sensation of fullness in the affected ear. The frequency and severity of episodes can vary from person to person, with some experiencing only occasional flare-ups while others may have more frequent or prolonged attacks.

Cervicogenic Dizziness

Cervicogenic dizziness is a type of dizziness that originates from the neck, often due to issues with the cervical spine, such as joint dysfunction or muscle tightness. The cervical spine plays an important role in maintaining balance, and dysfunction in this area can disrupt the body’s ability to sense movement and space, leading to feelings of dizziness or unsteadiness.

Cervicogenic dizziness can be triggered by neck movements or poor posture, especially when sitting or standing for prolonged periods. It is often associated with neck pain, stiffness, or tension, and can sometimes follow an injury, like whiplash, or be related to age-related changes in the cervical spine. In some cases, it can also be linked to conditions like arthritis or herniated discs.

Labryinthitis

Labyrinthitis is an inner ear condition caused by inflammation of the labyrinth, a structure in the inner ear responsible for both balance and hearing. This condition typically results from a viral or bacterial infection, which can cause sudden and severe vertigo, hearing loss, and imbalance. Labyrinthitis is often accompanied by a feeling of dizziness or spinning (vertigo), as well as nausea and vomiting in more severe cases.


Labyrinthitis can be triggered by a viral or bacterial infection, often following a cold, flu, or upper respiratory infection. The inflammation caused by the infection disrupts the normal functioning of the inner ear, leading to episodes of vertigo. In some cases, labyrinthitis can develop as a result of a middle ear infection or other ear-related issues. The symptoms can come on suddenly and may be accompanied by a ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and temporary hearing loss.

Tinnitus & Hyperacusis

Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, buzzing, or other sounds in the ears without an external source. Hyperacusis is a heightened sensitivity to everyday sounds. These conditions are often linked to musculoskeletal dysfunction, particularly in the jaw (TMJ disorders) and upper cervical spine, which can affect the auditory system.

Tinnitus and hyperacusis can be triggered by jaw clenching, neck strain, exposure to loud noises, or trauma to the head or neck. Poor posture and stress can also contribute to these conditions, making them more persistent and difficult to manage.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

BPPV is a disorder of the inner ear, causing brief episodes of intense dizziness or vertigo when you change the position of your head. The dizziness is caused by tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear becoming dislodged and affecting balance.

BPPV is triggered by specific head movements, such as tilting your head back, turning over in bed, or looking up. It is often linked to age, head trauma, or prolonged periods of immobility. In some cases, BPPV may be recurrent, with episodes becoming more frequent over time.

Concussion

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow to the head, sudden impact, or violent shaking. Post-concussion syndrome refers to a set of symptoms that persist for weeks, months, or even longer after the initial injury. Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and fatigue.

Concussion symptoms are often triggered or worsened by physical exertion, loud noises, bright lights, or cognitive strain. Neck pain or dysfunction, as well as vestibular (balance) disturbances, are common in those experiencing post-concussion syndrome and can exacerbate symptoms like headaches and dizziness.
