What to Expect When You Visit Our Physiotherapist for Post-Stroke Dizziness

When you visit us for dizziness after stroke, we assess balance, walking, coordination, vision, and vestibular function. Treatment may include balance retraining, walking practice, gaze stabilisation exercises, and functional movement training. The aim is to improve stability, reduce dizziness, and increase confidence in daily activities.

Factors Influencing Recovery Speed

↑

Early Rehabilitation

• Regular balance and walking practice supports adaptation. • Repetition helps rebuild confidence in daily movement.

Family Support

• Support at home can increase practice and safety. • Consistent encouragement helps reduce fear of movement.

↓

Severe Stroke or Fatigue

• Greater neurological impact can slow balance recovery. • Fatigue may reduce practice tolerance.

Fear of Falling or Visual Deficits

• Fear can reduce useful movement exposure. • Vision changes and low activity levels may limit progress.
