Support for vertigo and balance

Disrupted balance impacts confidence, movement and daily life

Vertigo and balance issues can cause sensations of dizziness, spinning, or unsteadiness. These symptoms may arise suddenly or develop over time, and they can affect how comfortable and confident you feel moving through the day.

Craniosacral therapy offers a gentle approach that supports the nervous system and helps the body restore balance.

A gentle, non-invasive approach that works with the body

Biodynamic craniosacral therapy is a gentle therapy that works with the body and nervous system.

Taking a tailored approach for each client, and using very light touch, the practitioner listens for areas where tension may be held — particularly around the head, neck, spine, and connective tissues.

Rather than forcing change, the therapy supports the body’s natural ability to release restrictions and restore balance.

Supporting the body’s balance systems

Balance relies on the coordination of several systems in the body, including the inner ear, nervous system, eyes, and musculoskeletal system.

When these systems are under strain or tension, symptoms such as dizziness or unsteadiness may occur.

Craniosacral therapy gently supports the nervous system and surrounding tissues, helping the body move toward greater stability and comfort.

Common experiences linked to vertigo and balance issues

Each session is tailored to the individual, focusing on reducing strain, improving nervous system regulation, and restoring more comfortable function.

Dizziness or spinning sensations

This work helps support the body to release held tensions causing balance and vertigo issues, helping the client to feel more "whole and centred".

Unsteadiness while standing or walking

Fatigue or tension linked to dizziness

The body feeling tired or strained from managing balance symptoms.

This work helps support the body to slow down and settle, creating the conditions needed to relax, decompress, and regain normal function.

Floppy/hypertonia or stiff / hypertonic

Fatigue is not always resolved by more sleep.

Even after resting, the body can still feel heavy, drained, or lacking energy.

This can happen when the nervous system is under strain, preventing the body from fully recovering.

This work helps support deeper rest and recovery, allowing energy levels to stabilise over time.

Feeding issues – reflux, colic symptoms, unsettled/fussy

This often feels like the body is stuck in a state of alertness, making it difficult to switch off, even when you want to rest.

This pattern is commonly linked to nervous system dysregulation.

Craniosacral therapy helps support the body to move out of this heightened state, allowing for greater calm and ease.
