16.01.2022 Our vestibular system is an amazing part of our ear anatomy. One of its reflexes (the vestibulo-ocular reflex) keeps our gaze stable when our head is moving so that we can see clearly. When you have an assessment with our physios, we check how well this reflex is working, and can help train your brain to get better at stabilizing your gaze.

15.01.2022 Meet the team! Merryn works at our Hornsby rooms on Wednesday’s and Fridays. Her interest in the management of dizziness and balance problems came from personal experience being a long time headache and migraine sufferer and being successfully treated with the techniques employed at On-Balance Physiotherapy. She has acquired highly developed skills in these treatment methods and has a real empathy for fellow sufferers. Merryn’s desire to provide comprehensive management of d...izziness has led her to develop an expertise in Vestibular Rehabilitation. This has been greatly complemented through attending both, the internationally recognised, Basic and Advanced Herdman Vestibular Rehabilitation Courses as well as the Foundation and Level 2 Watson Headache Institute courses. Give us a call on 9482 4511 to book an appointment with Merryn, or any one of our physiotherapists.

15.01.2022 Did you know that the way you sit and the way you stand has a significant impact on the way your neck and head will feel? It can contribute to dizziness and headaches and other symptoms.

12.01.2022 In addition to our usual thorough assessments, we have specialized equipment to offer ‘Vestibular Function Testing’ at our Hornsby Rooms. This enables us to test all 5 sensory organs in the labyrinth. Testing includes: Video Head Impulse Test (as has been available at On-Balance since 2013) which assesses semicircular canal function and VOR gain VEMPS (Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials) to assess otolith function (utricle and saccule).... Postural sway is measured using BalanceRite (a force platform and computer analysis) under certain conditions including Virtual Reality. With our clinical examination, these tests provide additional evidence so that the best approach for management can be implemented. We are able to tune our treatment approach to be specific in addressing your problem. Give us a call on 9482 4511 to find out more.

01.01.2022 BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo. The large vestibular model below shows an example of BPPV - crystals are moving in a semi-circular canal (where they are not meant to be). If you change your head position such as roll over in bed, or look up or bed down, the crystals move according to gravity and cause vertigo. If you get vertigo when you move your head, you should give us a call. Our thorough assessment includes tests for BPPV.
