Your Initial Assessment
Our physiotherapists at Dynamic Balance Physiotherapy & Vestibular Rehab Clinic help determine the source of your dizziness and guide you to a solution using vestibular rehabilitation therapy. In your first visit we take a detailed history, perform positional and balance testing, and — when BPPV is suspected — we can often relieve symptoms quickly with a gentle repositioning maneuver.
Dizziness refers to a range of sensations, from fainting or feeling weak to feeling unstable or off-balance. It is frequently a sign that the vestibular system (the inner-ear and neural pathways that govern balance) is not functioning normally, or that a medication is causing side effects. Each year more than 10 million patients visit a physician because of dizziness.
Why Am I Feeling Dizzy?
Dizziness or vertigo — the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning — can disrupt daily life so much that even simple tasks become exhausting. Symptoms can be continuous or intermittent, lasting from moments to hours, and can occur while standing, lying down, or changing position, such as rolling over in bed. Along with back pain and headaches, dizziness and vertigo are among the most common reasons adults seek medical care.
The most common causes of balance problems include:
- Inner-ear problems affecting the vestibular system
- Loose crystals in the inner ear (BPPV)
- Inner-ear infections or viral infections
- Medication side effects
- Stroke and vestibular neuropathy
- Physical inactivity and aging
Whatever the cause or nature of your symptoms, our team uses research-based techniques to help you return to normal function as soon as possible.

How Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy Helps
Vestibular rehabilitation is an active, evidence-based program of specific exercises, balance drills and movement techniques that retrains your balance system — helping your brain interpret the signals from your inner ear, eyes and joints correctly. This reduces dizziness, steadies your walking, and lowers your risk of falling.
We have helped many patients across Clayton, Cloverdale, Surrey and Langley, BC return to the activities they love while moving with confidence.
