Why Does the Room Spin? Understanding BPPV Physiotherapy
Have you ever rolled over in bed or looked up at a shelf, only to feel the whole room spin?
This unsettling sensation may not just be tiredness or stress. It could be Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) – one of the most common causes of dizziness.

Why Does BPPV Happen?
Tiny calcium crystals in your inner ear (called otoconia) sometimes move into the wrong part of the balance system. This confuses your brain and triggers spinning or vertigo.Read more: Causes of BPPV
How Can Physiotherapy Help?
Physiotherapists use safe and proven repositioning manoeuvres, such as the Epley manoeuvre, to guide the crystals back into place. Many people notice immediate relief, and most recover within a few sessions.Is It Always BPPV?
Not every dizzy spell is BPPV. Similar symptoms can come from conditions such as vestibular migraine, vestibular neuritis, or neck-related dizziness. A careful assessment helps pinpoint the cause.What to Do Next?
If dizziness is interfering with your daily life, physiotherapy can often help. Early treatment is effective, safe, and can reduce the risk of symptoms returning.For more details, visit our BPPV Information Page.
