Abstract

Dizziness is a distressing symptom that is often associated with fear and anxiety, as well as organic balance system dysfunction. We report here on the successful treatment of a 68-year-old woman with dizziness and balance problems. Treatment was given within a cognitive behavioural framework, but also included physiotherapy in the form of head movement exercises. Results were evaluated by a balance platform test, a behavioural provocation test and questionnaire data. Positive results were found in each of these three assessment domains.
