Hello, I'm Laura Ryan, a physiotherapist with a special interest in vestibular rehabilitation and dizziness conditions.
I work with people experiencing vertigo, persistent dizziness, concussion‑related symptoms, vestibular migraine and balance problems. My approach focuses on clear explanations, thorough assessment and evidence‑based rehabilitation.
Dizziness can feel confusing and sometimes frightening. My goal is to help you understand what is happening and guide you safely back to normal activities.

Dizziness can originate from several systems including the inner ear (vestibular system), the neck, vision, or the brain. Vestibular physiotherapy helps assess these systems and identify the cause of symptoms.
A spinning or rotational sensation often caused by inner ear disorders such as BPPV.
Feeling unsteady while standing or walking due to vestibular, neurological or sensory causes.
Ongoing dizziness that may follow vestibular illness, concussion or migraine.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo causes brief spinning sensations triggered by head movement. Treatment often involves repositioning manoeuvres.
Conditions affecting the inner ear balance system including vestibular neuritis and vestibular hypofunction.
Vestibular symptoms are common after concussion and can be treated with targeted rehabilitation.
Dizziness or vertigo associated with migraine conditions. Vestibular rehabilitation can help reduce symptoms and improve tolerance to motion.
Dizziness related to dysfunction of the cervical spine. Physiotherapy can address neck mobility and sensorimotor control.
Long‑lasting dizziness and motion sensitivity that may follow an initial vestibular event.
Vestibular physiotherapy focuses on assessing and rehabilitating the systems that control balance, spatial awareness and eye movement.
A detailed assessment of dizziness symptoms, eye movements, balance and positional testing helps identify the cause of vertigo or dizziness.
Many dizziness conditions such as BPPV, vestibular migraine and vestibular hypofunction can be identified through clinical examination and appropriate testing.
Treatment may include repositioning manoeuvres for BPPV, gaze stabilisation exercises, balance training and graded exposure to motion.
The goal of vestibular rehabilitation is to restore confidence with movement, reduce dizziness and help you safely return to normal daily activities.
