Vestibular Rehabilitation & Balance Therapy

If you are suffering from dizziness, vertigo, or balance instability, specialised, evidence-based physical therapy is available right here in your community.

Why Choose Our Vestibular Clinic?

  • Port Augusta's Only APA-Certified Provider: While a small number of physiotherapists interstate (such as in Queensland) have taken this advanced training, Surendhiran Subramanian is the only physiotherapist in Port Augusta and the region to have completed this competency-based course through the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA). Local patients do not need to travel to Adelaide or look interstate for elite-level dizziness and balance care.
  • International Elite Training: This intensive 65-hour clinical program was delivered directly through the APA and lectured exclusively by leading, world-renowned vestibular specialists travelling from the United States.
  • Advanced Technology & Methods: We utilise state-of-the-art assessment techniques to pinpoint the root cause of your dizziness and map out a precise, customised recovery plan.
