How we can help

Feeling dizzy is often very unnerving. Being lightheaded, woozy, or unbalanced can put us at risk of falls and heighten our anxiety. Dizziness is often caused by an impairment to the sensory organs, especially the eyes and ears. It is not a disease but can be a symptom of various disorders.

There are many factors causing dizziness, including migraines, ear infections, medications, and alcohol. Problems within your inner ear can also make you feel dizzy as this is what regulates balance.

Our method

To help improve troubles with dizziness your physiotherapist will:

Assess the cause of your dizziness and create a personalised goal
Choose a suitable treatment plan of Vestibular Rehabilitation (VR) to improve balance and proprioception
Assess your balance while you are both stationary and walking
Offer you advice and guidance on activities of daily living to improve your function and confidence
Help with self-management strategies
Review your muscle strength to see if this is contributing to poor balance
Offer advice on falls prevention

Our top tips to help you manage your symptoms

Do your physiotherapy exercises daily
Move your head carefully and slowly during your daily activities
Use a walking aid if you are at risk of a falls
Take your prescribed medication
Lie still in a quiet dark room to reduce the spinning feeling in your head
Use two or more pillows at night to keep your head raised

I have looked at the exercise programme and found that I'm already doing similar exercises which I had to research myself despite asking for help with my sciatica and nutrition from the NHS. I needed help with nutrition because of unrelated effects of C. Difficile causing dramatic weight lose.Feeling has returned to almost all my leg except certain movements in my toes and lack of feeling there make it impossible to drive.I was told so far so good by your home visitor which has given me confidence but I fear the next Chemo may send back to square one

I cannot praise Chi Lok Ken Hong (known as Ken) enough in what he has achieved with my 90 year old mother, Catherine, who broke her hip in early September. The promised NHS community package of care post discharge has still not materialised (2 months later), but due to mum’s struggling, we contacted Home Physio who responded quickly to mum’s needs and arranged for Ken to see her within a week of contact. Initially she was struggling to even get out of a chair, but with Ken’s guidance, over 6 weeks she is now basically fully mobile again, is walking with just a stick, going up and down stairs, and going out and about with a walker. Ken has been amazing. He has been excellent at explaining all exercises and has been encouraging at every stage. He has been professional but warm and kind in his approach, instilling confidence. My mother has valued his praise. He has always been on time and kept us informed. He has always followed through almost immediately on sending links to exercises. It is obvious he is passionate about his work. We are so pleased we found him. He has given mum back her independence. Thank you so much.Heather

I’m writing this on behalf of my friend who has recently completed a block of physio sessions with Fawad Husseini.Fawad is a charming man who instantly made my friend feel at ease. He is used to dealing with older people and is extremely kind and patient.He tailored each session to my friend’s needs on any particular day. Over the course of 2+ months I saw my friend gaining confidence and improved physical ability; she has gone from being chair-bound and totally dependent on others to being able to walk with the support of an rollator. The experience has been a very positive one. I highly recommend Fawad.

Amazing ServiceFollowing a fall resulting in a distal femoral replacement my 92 year old mum was weak and had lost confidence to be able to walk without somebody near her.I contacted Home Physio Group; who quickly explained the cost and packages on offer. An initial assessment was arranged within days.Mum received excellent care from Fawad. He was very professional caring, and able to assess mums capabilities quickly. He showed compassion and positivity, which really helped her determination to get back walking properly. This along with exercises for her to do on a daily she progressed from hardly lifting her leg, bending her knee and getting out of a chair to being able to walk with 2 sticks.I would definitely recommend this home physio company.

Needed a physiotherapist for a family member who is a severe stroke victim. Following a phone conversation explaining the situation, Home Physio Group assigned Damien Tan to home visit.Damien worked wonders in just a handful of sessions, inspiring the patient to improve.Would definitely recommend.

Very helpful and efficient. Very quickly made an appointment for me with Adrian. Adrian was superb. He quickly established a positive working relationship. Challenging but realistic targets were set and Adrian provided encouragement and constructive feedback to enable me to reach these targets. His care plan was shared and agreed. Very professional.Adrian took a holistic approach giving advice on fluid intake and skin care. I highly recommend the company and especially Adrian and would not hesitate to use them again if needed.

I would like to say how I found Home Physio Group very helpful and informative. Naomi was so professional and truthful! She was wonderful and gave me a lot confidence which I needed. She made me do exercises that I thought I could never do. I am very pleased with the outcome and if I ever need physio again I would not hesitate to contact them again
