Are you suffering from dizziness and vertigo? BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) is the most common cause of vertigo. It occurs when the otoconia (crystals) of the inner ear are displaced within their semicircular canal. Your physiotherapist can assess which canal is affected, and help you with the corresponding treatment. Let us help you treat this condition today!!

Anatomy lesson The rotator cuff of the shoulder consists of 4 muscles: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. Supraspinatus initiates abduction of the arm, infraspinatus and teres minor externally rotate the shoulder, and subscapularis is responsible for internal rotation of the shoulder. It’s important to keep these muscles strong in order to prevent injury. Our Physios and Kinesiologist can teach you exercises to work the rotator cuff muscles, and you can access videos of your exercises through our online exercise program app. Call us to book an appointment 250-768-5907 #physio #physiotherapy #kinesiology #shoulder #rotatorcuff #westkelowna #westbank
