John Miller’s Clinical Interests

BPPV, Dizziness and Balance

Sports and Complex Rehabilitation
John guides staged rehabilitation for SIJ pain, sports injuries, fractures, tendon repairs, post-operative recovery and persistent movement problems.
How John Miller Can Help
John’s appointments focus on understanding your presentation, identifying useful treatment priorities and developing a realistic pathway forward. He considers your symptoms alongside work, daily activity, exercise, sport and longer-term goals.
Depending on your assessment, management may include hands-on physiotherapy, education, movement retraining, strengthening, balance rehabilitation, staged activity progression or dry needling.
John may also use real-time ultrasound retraining when visual feedback could help improve selected abdominal, hip, pelvic or deep stabilising muscle control.
What Happens at Your First Appointment?
- John discusses your symptoms, history, goals, previous treatment and activity demands.
- He assesses the movement, strength, control, balance or symptom behaviour relevant to your presentation.
- For neck, headache or jaw concerns, the assessment may include neck movement, jaw movement, muscle tenderness and contributing habits.
- For dizziness or suspected BPPV, the assessment may include positional testing, balance and eye-head coordination.
- You receive an explanation of the findings and an initial management and review plan.
