Treating the neck often resolves both dizziness and headaches, as the two conditions frequently share common causes.
Our approach combines cervical assessment with vestibular rehabilitation. We identify whether your symptoms originate from neck dysfunction, inner ear issues, or a combination of both, then tailor treatment accordingly.
Cervical Assessment and Treatment
We evaluate neck mobility, muscle strength, and spinal alignment. Manual therapy releases tight muscles and mobilises restricted joints. Improving cervical function often significantly reduces dizziness and headache severity.
For balance and dizziness issues, we perform specific vestibular exercises that help the brain compensate and retrain balance systems. These exercises are safe, evidence-based, and effective for various types of dizziness.
Posture and Movement Correction
We identify postural habits and movement patterns contributing to symptoms. Ergonomic advice and postural correction prevent symptom recurrence.

MyoFitness provides personalised physiotherapy for certain dizziness and balance presentations, particularly when neck dysfunction, posture or vestibular problems may contribute to symptoms. Treatment is based on an individual assessment and may include cervical therapy, postural correction, balance retraining and vestibular rehabilitation where appropriate.
Dizziness can sometimes be associated with neck stiffness, restricted cervical movement or changes in posture. Physiotherapy may address these contributing factors through appropriate cervical treatment, movement exercises and postural strategies.
Some dizziness and balance problems can involve the vestibular system, which plays an important role in balance and spatial orientation. Vestibular rehabilitation uses specific exercises designed to help the brain adapt to changes in balance and movement.
Some people experience dizziness with both cervical and vestibular components. In these cases, treatment may need to address multiple contributing factors rather than focusing on one system alone. A detailed assessment helps guide the appropriate approach.
Poor posture and prolonged positioning can contribute to neck tension and movement-related symptoms in some people. Physiotherapy can address postural habits, cervical mobility and movement control where these factors appear relevant to your symptoms.
Dizziness or balance disturbances following a neck injury require careful assessment. Your physiotherapist can evaluate relevant neck movement, mobility and functional factors and determine whether physiotherapy is appropriate or whether further medical assessment is needed.
Physiotherapy may be appropriate when dizziness is associated with neck stiffness, neck movement, postural issues or certain balance problems. However, sudden severe dizziness, neurological symptoms or changes in vision require medical assessment first to rule out potentially serious causes. Contact MyoFitness to discuss your symptoms and determine the appropriate next step.
