Understanding Balance & Dizziness Conditions
Three main factors feed into our ability to maintain equilibrium: our vision, our balance apparatus in the inner ear (the vestibular system), our bodies’ senses, and our ability to move (sensory-motor system). Our central nervous system integrates all three of these in a sophisticated mechanism that keeps us in equilibrium.
When we are younger, good balance is essentially a matter of keeping our core muscles active. However, as we age, other considerations can creep in. As we grow older, we lose muscle, and our sight can compromise our ability to remain steady on our feet. In addition, other factors such as medications, illnesses associated with ageing, injuries, anxiety, pain, urinary urgency/frequency, weight fluctuation, and sleep disturbance can contribute to loss of balance, reduced mobility and dizziness. Fortunately, for many patients, reduced balance need not be permanent. Balance rehabilitation physiotherapy can help.

Testimonials
I am the main carer for my wife and had my head in the sand about nursing homes as I was suffering from dizziness and falls. I saw Dill after I was discharged from hospital after falling down the stairs. She treated me for BPPV and poor balance. I thought I was fit but the exercises she gave me are really easy and specifically helped my balance week by week. We now have carers and I’m feeling less stressed.
Bill
Dill’s class has made me much more aware of my posture on a daily basis and has given me lots of new, straightforward exercises I can do at home. Dill ensures everyone’s health needs are met with personal attention.
Jeda
You always get more than you bargain for with Dill. I went to her with dizziness and got treated for breathing and balance exercises and I’m not dizzy anymore! I feel like a new woman!
