Perth Vertigo Physio

This has been one of the most insightful experiences. I attended sessions to help with my motion sickness and it has been so incredibly helpful! Just having a better understanding of how this system works within the body has helped me exponentially.

My name is John Valastro and I would like to share my experience, on having the good fortune of meeting and being successfully treated for the debilitating effects of Vertigo by Physiotherapist Brent Vanderloop / Life Ready Physio + Pilates / Midland WA.
I found my dizziness to worsen through the years. Turning my head quickly from side to side or up and down, lowering my head in order to look under furniture, rise from a seated or lying position, travel as a passenger within a moving vehicle, play with my grandchildren or even work under my caravan whilst lying on my back are just a few of the tasks I was not able to commit to. These activities resulted in dizziness that led to headaches, vomiting and ever-increasing periods of recovery.
Through the years, I adapted best I could in protecting myself from the effects of vertigo by identifying ignition points and not placing myself within them. The repercussions of this, have meant my lack of participation in many events.
On meeting Brent, I was skeptical of how he was to treat the condition as his initial assessment techniques were that similar to many medical specialists, I had already committed to.
His ability in listening and understanding the debilitating effects the condition has on one’s quality of life, kept me firm. At first, I found the treatment to be somewhat over whelming, but on applying my own pace, soon responded very well, and progressed through to the nest stage of treatment, which was undertaken over a six-week period. Each treatment session recorded on file. I finally felt that my journey to recovery had begun.
My visitations were welcoming and relaxed. There are no title initials before his name, and he did not need to be identified as nothing more than Brent. He took the time to make one feel at ease and apologised for any inconvenience on waiting time. Brent being always welcoming with a handshake and how you feeling. His office is also welcoming and not pronounced by expensive furniture and accolades of his achievements and studies. Only two well placed documents to allow the patient to recognise they are in good hands.
I found Brent to be a person who can adapt to the needs of the individual. He identified the need of reassurance on my knowing how the treatment works and why it is administered in the manner it is. Why the body reacts in the manner it does, when one’s individual system is overloaded.
He took time to explain each section of treatment not only verbally but also physically by making sure that I was capable of performing the exercise correctly. He continued to give reassurance even when I believed that I again had hit a dead end. I believe he also shared a sense of achievement and joy on hearing of the progress we were making. I was impressed that Brent continues updating his studies within this field, ever striving for further positive treatments.
No pressure applied and the onus was left with me to complete the exercises in the manner directed. Progress resulted in further appointments being made at further lengthened intervals.
In conclusion, I can honestly write that this certainly has been a life changing experience for me and my loved ones. I now no longer suffer from the debilitating effects of dizziness and have even built the courage of entering under the caravan to commit to maintenance tasks. I play with my grandchildren and look forward to having them push their grandfather on the swing during park ventures for a change.
It is yet early days, but I now have the knowledge of treatment and will again re visit Brent, if I feel the need.
Finally, I would like to thank Physiotherapist Yong Kiat Chang for his professional referral to Brent whilst he successfully treated my Tennis Elbow.
I found the clinic to be professional and welcoming. Maddy at reception always making sure that your experience was one of a positive nature and that your next appointment suited your individual schedules.
My everlasting gratitude to a true healer and gentleman Brent Vanderloop and the team at Life Ready Physio + Pilates.

Brent diagnosed the cause of a problem that I'd sought medical help elsewhere for 18 months, then empowered me to resolve it with personally targeted rehab exercises.
My symptoms had been cryptic, with nausea only occurring while scuba diving, when it would be intolerable. I'd tried various medicines without success. I wish I'd come here first!

Since seeing Brent my vertigo has improved dramatically. He is extremely professional, thorough and has never been late for an appointment. I highly recommend Brent for vertigo sufferers. Mike

The results from the treatment for vertigo were amazing. It is wonderful to feel normal again. Highly recommend to anyone suffering from this.

After suffering persistent dizzy spells and a change in vision (decreased sharpness) for around 4 months, visiting a chiro/doctor and having an MRI I finally found Brent the vestibular physio who was amazing! He easily recognised my symptoms and with some tests he was able to diagnose me with Right Unilateral Vestibular Hypofunction that very first visit. I had to follow a daily 6 week treatment plan of exercises which has worked! I am so relieved to feel back to normal and that would not have been possible without Brent and his expertise. Highly recommend!

After suffering vertigo for 8 months, I found Brent who was very thorough in his assessment. After a 6 week exercise programme I have not had a vertigo episode. Would definitely recommend Brent to help you with vertigo problems.

After a few months of Vertigo and not improving, I heard about Brent Vanderloop! So happy with my treatment and he also diagnosed and treated a Vestibular imbalance I had. I can now say I am symptom free from both issues, would highly recommend Brent.

Brent at Life Ready Physio is a great help for vertigo. You need to do the exercises and they work, no more vertigo for me!

After struggling with vertigo for a few months I finally found Brent Vanderloop at Life Physio Midland. After a few weeks of treatment I'm back to my old self and feeling great. I highly recommend Brent and his team. Thanks Brent.

I've had ongoing dizzy episodes the last few years with the last six months being daily. Seen two different ENT specialists (at great expense) on the recommendation of my doctor. No positive outcomes resulted.
Finding these reviews lead me to Brent and straight away felt I was in the right place. He gave me trust in the program due to the feedback from the tests he preformed and explanations given to my condition.
Since concluding his program I'm happy to say dizziness free.

Brent is very thorough and explains the process in detail. He has a lovely manner and got rid of my vertigo in a couple of sessions. Highly recommend him!

Brent was really good helped explained why I was getting dizzy exercising and spontaneously at work for no apparent reason. Very thorough assessment when GP had not really known what was going on. I wasn’t the best patient but he was understanding when life got in the way. I am now very rarely suffering dizziness and know I could go back without question if it decides to flare up again.

I was really impressed with the Vestibular specialist. I had previously seen 3 doctors after having 6 months of dizziness, all telling me I had Vertigo. I knew I did not have vertigo and after 4 sessions with the specialist my dizziness went away. My Vestibular system had slowed and needed to be retrained. A few exercises and no medication and 4 months on and I still have no dizziness.

Brent was amazing! I wish I knew about him when I first got vertigo instead of spending over a year getting no results from doctors and other physio. Anyone with any dizzy issues should go to see him and he can tell you exactly what is causing it. One of the problems is there are many different types and I've had two of them.

Brent has helped me to regain back my normal daily life thanks to his amazing Vertigo retraining techniques. Vertigo truly is a debilitating feeling. I can't thank Brent and his team enough for making me feel comfortable during my unwell visits.

Brent was able to sort out my vertigo problems without any hassle, the centre got me an appointment pretty much straight away which I was very grateful for. Brent is an excellent physio for anyone suffering as I was and he has a very calm reassuring attitude which puts you at ease.

It' a terrible feeling when you bend over to pick something up and the world starts spinning or turning over in bed and your head keeps spinning making you feel ill. It's many times worse than a hangover. It gets to the stage you feel like you have to place your hand on a wall etc to keep your balance while picking things up. I had a few appointments with Brent, He explained what was happening and treated it.no drugs no more spinning head. Thank you Brent

My vertigo was so bad that I felt like I couldn't get out of bed. Brent was able to make me feel 100% better in just 2 appointments. I definitely recommend making an appointment with Brent if you're suffering from vertigo.

My life was a nightmare. The World was spinning around me. I wouldn’t leave the house or socialise, that is, until a have met Brent.
With Brent technical knowledge and the exercises he has designed specifically for me, I’m enjoying my life again, including, playing golf.
Thank you Brent
