Steady Physio is a physiotherapy practice at 4A Avenue Road, Greenmeadows, Napier, run by Susan Swart with a special interest in vertigo, dizziness, poor balance and high fall risks. It offers falls risk assessment and prevention advice, treatment for headaches referred from the neck, and general care for non-injury conditions such as postural pain and rehabilitation after joint replacement, with enquiries welcome by email.
Vestibular physiotherapy is a specialist corner of the trade. A good assessment starts with a careful history, then eye-movement and balance tests to work out whether dizziness stems from the inner ear, the neck or something else, and positional vertigo often responds well to repositioning techniques and tailored exercises. For older people, falls-risk scoring followed by structured balance work is frequently what restores the confidence to keep active in the community.
That specialist focus is available close to home, on Avenue Road in Greenmeadows, Napier.
