Do you sometimes feel light-headed, off-balance, or like the room is spinning? You’re not alone — many people feel this way. But did you know that dizziness and vertigo are not the same thing?
At Rehab Pro in Blacktown, we help people every week with dizziness or vertigo. Understanding the difference can help you get the right treatment.
💫 What is Dizziness?
Dizziness feels like:
You might faint
You’re a bit off-balance
Your head feels floaty or “not right”
It’s common in people who are tired, stressed, dehydrated, or taking certain medications. It can also happen if you’ve had a stroke, neck problems, or inner ear issues.
🔁 What is Vertigo?
Vertigo feels like:
The room is spinning around you
You’re spinning, tilting, or being pulled
It gets worse when you turn your head or lie down
The most common cause of vertigo is BPPV – this is when crystals in your inner ear are out of place. It can also come from infections, migraines, or balance problems after an illness.
🧠 How Can Physio Help With Vertigo/Dizziness?
We treat dizziness by:
Helping you improve your balance
Teaching you how to move safely
Giving exercises for your eyes, ears, and posture
We treat vertigo by:
Doing a special head movement called the Epley Manoeuvre (great for BPPV)
Giving balance and movement exercises
Helping you feel safer and steadier
You can come to our clinic in Blacktown, or we can visit you at home.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on prescription medications and therapies, but unfortunately, the symptoms continued to worsen. My mobility declined, tremors increased, and I experienced growing fatigue and discomfort that affected my daily life. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My energy improved, the discomfort eased, and I felt stronger and more capable in my daily life. Incredibly, I also regained much of my stamina, balance, and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more…
