Ataxia
Ataxia is a condition that affects coordination and balance, resulting from damage to the cerebellum and its connections. Symptoms may include significant difficulty balancing and walking, decreased coordination and difficulty with fine motor tasks. Treatment focuses on improving motor control through tailored treatment and prescription of assistive technology such as mobility aids where necessary. Therapy Right’s experienced home visit therapists work closely with individuals with ataxia to enhance balance, coordination, and mobility, using tailored exercises and functional training.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
BPPV is a vestibular disorder causing sudden dizziness which builds to a peak and then slowly dissipates when the head is moved in certain positions such as looking up or rolling over in bed. It occurs due to displaced calcium crystals in the inner ear sending an erroneous movement signal to the brain. Symptoms include vertigo, nausea, and loss of balance. Treatment involves specific maneuvers such as the Epley maneuver to reposition the crystals. Therapy Right physiotherapists are highly skilled in vestibular rehabilitation, offering home visits to guide patients through these maneuvers and help them regain stability and confidence.
