Dizziness Treatment in Marple
Ongoing dizziness and unsteadiness often come from the vestibular system. We assess the cause and guide vestibular rehabilitation to restore balance and confidence at our Marple clinic.

Understanding Your Condition
Feeling dizzy, light-headed or as if the room is moving can be frightening and wearing, and it can make busy shops, turning your head or even walking feel hard. Many types of dizziness come from the inner ear or from how the brain processes balance information, and they respond well to vestibular rehabilitation, a specific type of physio exercise. We'll work out what's driving yours and help you feel steady again. We see people from Marple, Stockport, Romiley, Hazel Grove, High Lane and Disley.

Your dizziness came on suddenly with slurred speech, facial drooping, weakness, double vision, a severe headache or trouble walking. See your GP first if you have fainting spells, chest pain or palpitations.
Feeling Dizzy or Unsteady?
Book your assessment today. Vestibular rehab helps many types of dizziness, including long-standing dizziness.
Your First Appointment, How We Treat It and the Timeline
Your first appointment is 45 minutes. We'll ask exactly what happens and when, and test your eye movements, balance and neck. Treatment is vestibular rehab: gaze stability exercises, gradual exposure to the movements that set you off, and balance training. Most people improve within six to twelve weeks.
Everything You Need to Know Before Booking
No GP referral needed. Direct access appointments available — often same-day or within a few days.
What Happens at Your First Appointment
Your first session is a 45-minute comprehensive assessment. We start by listening — understanding your symptoms, your history, and what you want to get back to. We then carry out a thorough hands-on physical examination to identify the root cause of your problem. You'll receive a clear explanation of what's going on, a personalised treatment plan, and hands-on treatment begins in that very first session. You leave knowing exactly what's wrong, what we'll do about it, and how long recovery will take.
What Should I Wear?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area we're treating. For knee, hip, or leg problems, shorts are ideal. For shoulder, neck, or back issues, a loose top or vest works well. You'll never be asked to undress beyond what's necessary for examination and treatment, and you'll always be treated with dignity and respect in our private treatment room.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
This depends on your condition, how long you've had it, and your goals. Many patients feel significant improvement within 3–6 sessions. Acute injuries often resolve faster, while long-standing or complex conditions may need more. We'll give you a clear treatment timeline at your first appointment — and we only ever recommend sessions you genuinely need. Our goal is to get you independent and pain-free as quickly as possible, not to keep you coming back.
Can I Claim Through Insurance?
Yes. We are recognised by most major health insurance providers including AXA, Vitality, Bupa, WPA, and Healix. We can bill your insurer directly so you don't need to pay upfront — simply bring your insurance authorisation number to your appointment. If you're not sure whether you're covered, call us and we'll help you check before you book.
