What is PPPD (Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness)?

Do you experience ongoing dizziness or unsteadiness, even when you're not moving?

Does walking through a busy supermarket, scrolling on your phone or being in crowded environments make your symptoms worse?

You may be experiencing a condition known as Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD).

PPPD is a chronic vestibular disorder characterised by persistent dizziness, unsteadiness or a sensation of movement, typically present on most days for at least three months.

Common symptoms include:

• Persistent dizziness or a feeling of being off-balance
• Feeling worse when standing or walking
• Increased symptoms in busy visual environments, such as shopping centres
• Sensitivity to movement, including travelling in cars
• Difficulty tolerating screens, scrolling or visually complex environments

PPPD can develop following an initial vestibular condition, such as BPPV, vestibular neuritis or vestibular migraine.

Importantly, PPPD is a recognised medical condition, and the symptoms are real.

The good news is that PPPD can be managed. Treatment may involve vestibular rehabilitation, education, psychological therapies and medication where appropriate.

At Dizzy Clinics Australia, our vestibular physiotherapists understand the complexities of PPPD and can assist with assessment and individualised rehabilitation.

Persistent dizziness shouldn't be something you simply have to live with.

What is Ménière’s Disease?

Imagine experiencing sudden episodes of intense vertigo, often accompanied by changes in hearing, ringing in the ears and a feeling of pressure or fullness in one ear.

For people living with Ménière’s disease, these symptoms can be unpredictable and significantly impact everyday life.

Ménière’s disease is a disorder of the inner ear that affects both hearing and balance.

Common symptoms include:

• Recurrent episodes of spinning vertigo, often lasting 20 minutes to several hours
• Fluctuating hearing loss, particularly in one ear
• Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ear)
• A sensation of fullness or pressure in the affected ear
• Ongoing imbalance or unsteadiness between episodes

While there is currently no cure for Ménière’s disease, there are ways to manage its symptoms.

Management often involves a combination of medical care, lifestyle modifications and, where appropriate, vestibular rehabilitation to address persistent balance difficulties.

At Dizzy Clinics Australia, our vestibular physiotherapists work alongside GPs, ENTs and neurologists to assist patients experiencing vestibular conditions, including Ménière’s disease.

Living with Ménière’s disease doesn't mean you have to manage your symptoms alone.

What is BPPV, and why does it cause vertigo?

Have you ever rolled over in bed, looked up or bent forward and suddenly felt like the whole room was spinning?

You may be experiencing Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).

BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo. It occurs when tiny calcium carbonate crystals within the inner ear become displaced and move into one of the semicircular canals.

This can trigger brief but intense episodes of spinning vertigo, particularly with changes in head position.

The good news? BPPV is often very treatable.

At Dizzy Clinics Australia, our vestibular physiotherapists use positional testing to identify the affected canal and perform appropriate repositioning manoeuvres to help resolve symptoms.

If you're experiencing room-spinning dizziness, don't just put up with it. An accurate diagnosis is the first step towards effective treatment.

What is vestibular neuritis?

Imagine waking up one morning with sudden, severe dizziness, the room spinning around you, and struggling to even stand or walk.

For people experiencing vestibular neuritis, this can be their reality.

Vestibular neuritis is a condition involving inflammation of the vestibular nerve, which carries balance information from the inner ear to the brain.

It can cause:
• Sudden, severe and prolonged vertigo
• Nausea and vomiting
• Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
• Blurred or unstable vision with head movement
• Ongoing dizziness and unsteadiness, even after the initial vertigo settles

The good news is that recovery is possible.

Vestibular rehabilitation can play an important role in recovery, helping the brain adapt to changes in balance signals and improving stability, confidence and everyday function.

At Dizzy Clinics Australia, our vestibular physiotherapists assess and manage patients recovering from vestibular neuritis, providing individualised rehabilitation programs.

Sudden, severe vertigo should always be assessed urgently to rule out other causes, including stroke.

What do we treat at Dizzy Clinics Australia?

Dizziness and vertigo are symptoms, not diagnoses. And understanding what's causing them is an important first step towards effective treatment.

At Dizzy Clinics Australia, our vestibular physiotherapists assess and manage a wide range of conditions, including:

• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
• Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis
• Peripheral vestibular hypofunction
• Vestibular migraine
• Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)
• Ménière’s disease

While these conditions can share similar symptoms, their causes and treatment approaches can be very different.

That's why an accurate assessment matters.

If you're experiencing dizziness, vertigo or balance problems, our team is here to help you understand your symptoms and explore appropriate treatment options.

With clinics across NSW and the ACT, we're making vestibular physiotherapy more accessible to local communities.
