Dizziness is not a single disease but a shared symptom of many different causes. Sometimes it comes from the balance organ in the inner ear (the vestibular system), sometimes from the neck, and sometimes from something else entirely such as blood pressure or medication. That is why the first step is always the correct diagnosis: the source of the dizziness is determined by a physician (ENT or neurology). Once a diagnosis is made, in suitable cases physiotherapy — particularly vestibular rehabilitation and positional exercises — can be an effective method for regaining balance. Fzt. Kemran Hafız carries out this process in Bursa Nilüfer alongside the physician's guidance.
About your physiotherapist
Fzt. Kemran Hafız provides one-to-one care for vertigo (dizziness) at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.
It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.
The most common cause of dizziness is the balance crystals in the inner ear shifting out of place (BPPV — benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). The brief but intense spinning that comes on when you roll over in bed, tip your head back or bend down is typically this. The good news: once correctly diagnosed, this condition often settles quickly with specific positional manoeuvres.
Fzt. Kemran Hafız carries out this process in Bursa Nilüfer after the physician's diagnosis: Epley and Semont manoeuvres that move the crystals back into the correct canal for BPPV, and, in balance-related conditions, vestibular rehabilitation that helps the brain relearn balance. The aim is to address the mechanism triggering the dizziness and return safely to daily life.
When the tiny crystals (otoconia) that sense balance in the inner ear come loose and move into the wrong canal, head movement sends a faulty signal to the brain and a short but intense spinning sensation occurs. It is the most common cause of dizziness, and being triggered by position is its typical feature.
These manoeuvres move the displaced crystals back to where they belong through a series of controlled head and body movements. In correctly diagnosed BPPV, clear relief is often seen within a few applications; however, the outcome varies from person to person, and a diagnosis is essential so the manoeuvre is applied to the correct canal.
If the dizziness is not solely crystal-related, or if the sense of balance has been disturbed for a long time, the brain needs to rebalance the information coming from both ears and the eyes. Vestibular rehabilitation — made up of gaze-head coordination, habituation and balance exercises — targets exactly this and is carried out as a gradual programme.
If the loss of balance stems from a neurological condition such as stroke, MS or Parkinson's, the process is planned together with a neurological rehabilitation programme, with goals measured through walking and daily-life tasks.
A sudden, very severe headache; double vision, speech difficulty, or weakness in the face or arm (signs of a stroke — call 112 without delay); new hearing loss or ringing in the ear; or fainting — these require a physician (ENT/neurology) assessment first. Vestibular rehabilitation is planned after that assessment.

Fzt. Kemran Hafız · Bursa Nilüfer. Share your complaint; we plan the process together after the assessment.
It varies from person to person; in correctly diagnosed BPPV, clear relief is often seen within a few applications. If needed, it is continued with supportive home exercises.
It varies by condition. Balance-related programmes usually require a few weeks of regular work; progress is measured and the programme is updated accordingly.
Even if an attack has settled, continuing the recommended exercises for a while is usually advised to prevent recurrence and make balance lasting. The decision to stop is made after assessment.
BPPV can recur from time to time; if it does, the manoeuvre can be applied again. Regular balance exercises may help reduce the risk of recurrence.
A programme aimed at walking, balance and daily independence after stroke, MS, Parkinson's and brain injury.
A programme focused on posture and the deep neck muscles for pain spreading into the neck, shoulder and arm.
For a neck that suddenly locks: fast relief in the acute phase, then work aimed at preventing recurrence.
Neurological Rehabilitation
Not all physiotherapy is the same. For conditions arising from the nervous system, neurological physiotherapy differs from orthopaedic physiotherapy in aim and method.
