Re: some vertigo exercises

[Guest guest]

This is the only exercise that helped me.  I get vertigo once, maybe twice a year for reasons unknown.  Ginger never helped, but this exercise did.Lynnin CaliforniaOn Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 7:39 AM, Suzanne <suziesgoats@...> wrote:

 

 

The following are called the positional exercises of Brandt and Daroff. You will feel vertigo while doing these, but with each repetition, the severity and duration should decrease.

Sit on the edge of the bed near the middle, with legs hanging down.

Turn head 45° to right side.

Quickly lie down on left side, with head still turned, and touch the bed with portion of the head behind the ear.

Maintain this position and every subsequent position for about 30 seconds.

Sit up again.

Quickly lie down to right side after turning head 45° toward the left side.

Sit up again.

Do 6-10 repetitions, 3 times per day.
