Postural hypotension, also known as orthostatic hypotension, occurs when blood pressure drops upon standing up. This condition, especially common among older adults, can cause:
These symptoms can significantly impact daily life and independence. At SK Home Therapy, we provide in-home support that helps clients manage dizziness, improve balance, and gain confidence in their movement, enabling them to feel safer and more secure.
Our postural hypotension and dizziness management programme is tailored to improve muscle strength, balance, and movement confidence. By focusing on safe movement strategies and gradual strengthening, we help clients manage symptoms effectively in their day-to-day routines.
Strengthening Key Muscle Groups: Building muscle strength, particularly in the legs and core, helps support stable movement, reducing the effects of sudden blood pressure drops and improving overall stability.
Balance and Stability Exercises: Balance exercises help clients feel more grounded, making it easier to stand up and move confidently without feeling unsteady or dizzy.
Safe Movement Techniques: Moving from lying down to standing can be challenging for those with postural hypotension. We introduce safe movement strategies that reduce the risk of dizziness, enabling clients to transition smoothly and comfortably.
Increasing Confidence in Standing Positions: Many clients feel uncertain about standing due to the risk of dizziness. Our programme focuses on exercises and techniques that improve confidence in standing positions, helping clients feel more secure in everyday movements.
Practical In-Home Practice: Practising exercises in the home allows clients to build confidence in familiar surroundings, making it easier to incorporate techniques into their daily lives.
Our in-home sessions provide a comfortable, supportive environment where clients can work on managing dizziness and improving balance without the strain of travel. Here’s what to expect from our sessions:
We start with a thorough assessment to understand each client’s symptoms, mobility, and goals. This helps us create a personalised plan tailored to their specific needs.
Our sessions begin with gentle exercises that build strength and balance, gradually advancing as clients become more comfortable. This allows for steady improvement without overwhelming clients.
We focus on safe, practical techniques that clients can use when transitioning from sitting or lying down to standing, helping prevent dizziness and ensuring a smoother movement.
Postural hypotension symptoms can vary, so we monitor each client’s progress and adjust exercises to meet their evolving needs, ensuring they feel supported and comfortable.
SK Home Therapy is dedicated to helping clients manage the symptoms of postural hypotension and dizziness. Our in-home support programme provides a compassionate, tailored approach that improves strength, stability, and confidence. We work closely with clients to ensure they feel secure in their movements and empowered to live independently.
