My PT noticed my right eye did not track as well as my left causing a LOT of balance issues. So she had me set up this simple exercise.
Draw an X on a post it note and place on the wall eyeball height. Now take small pieces of masking tape with a black dot and place them 18” away from the post it note at 12, 1:30, 3:00, 4:30, 6:00, etc., to make a circle.
Stand arms length away and focus on the X. Without moving your head look at each piece of tape. 3:00, 9:00. 10:30, 4:30, etc.
I was amazed at how hard it was to not see two dots. The left eye would lock on immediately but the right eye dances around. With a lot of practice I can lock on quickly. Best part is I’m NOT dizzy anymore!
Fritter Drummer sorry I can’t follow can you explain a little more detailed ?
please explain this better
What I described above is an exercise designed to strengthen the eye muscles particularly the muscles by your temples. What part are you not understanding?
Interesting. Thank you for sharing
I will be trying this ASAP!
I broke my back years ago and it healed and fused incorrectly, (a Veterans story), as a result, among other issues, I have balance issues, line of sight issues and other neurological issues because my spinal cord is wonky as a result of the misalignment due to the break and fusion. I get vestibular migraines...I am watching this today because on Monday and Tuesday it started with sparkles, Wednesday the ringing in the ears and traveling headache pain around my head...and this morning. I didn’t know about vestibular physiotherapy as I’ve been seeing a chiropractor the past 4 years and since COVID I have not had regular adjustments which has messed me up again...so “heal thy self”; your exercises will help me that I can do at home until I can get back to regular adjustments but I’ll also keep doing the exercises you had taught me. Thank you!
Are you better???
Hi, I'm not an expert, but I think that although it might sound farfetched, techniques of fascia release could help as they bring new awareness and awaken dormant parts of the body critical for balance, especially the neurological connections. You might want to try to contact jill Miller at tuneup fitness. She has great balls for self therapy. Good luck! Feel better!
Wow! Can you please share where is this place I never heard of this! Thankyou in advance.
@@NansGlobalKitchen not sure what you mean. 🤷🏼♀️
@@lisamarie8406 sorry just saw this because someone made a post. I will
Always have these neurological issues thanks to fused broken bones and the pinching of my spinal cord. Regular chiropractic care has helped me to function but I’ll never be “normal”… whatever that is. ☺️ also I’ve learned my electrolytes easily become imbalanced and when I notice dizziness I will take an electrolyte capsule and then I’m fine an hour later.
Just a simple thank you for your help with a not-so-simple problem. You two are the best!
Thanks guys, this video has been very helpful to me to help regaining my balance after a translabyrinthine craniotomy procedure. The exercises you shared of eyes crossing the centerline followed by movement in that direction were particularly beneficial to me - and not mentioned in any of the materials provided by my doctor. Finally, as a former Milwaukee resident I appreciated the inclusion of the Packer ball in the exercises and agree it is definitely attractive!
3 1/2 years of lightheadedness every day...and occasional bout of vertigo like 3 weeks ago and I fell and hit my head...had a CT Scan and like the MRI, NOTHING WRONG...so, this coming Tuesday, I start Vestibular Rehabilitation...
Carik Shawn how it’s going ?? Witch the vestibular rehabilitation ?
Hope it helped ya. I have vestibular nerve damage and hearing loss in one ear. I stay lightheaded. The therapy helped me a lot but I don’t do it as much anymore. Probably need to start up again. Hearing aid helps some.
Found relief?
How are you feeling now?
@@mn1170 HI and thanks for asking...I just wrote a note to Nancy above your message...praying it all works...off work too...got medical leave to focus on fixing this.
Thank you , i will be starting vestibular PT soon for PPPD. I appreciate your videos, God bless you
I love learning from you two, but I do all my balance work barefoot. Not socks, not minimal shoes, but barefoot to get all the feedback from the small nerves of me feet to my brain. If not, you're shutting off feedback from foot to core and to brain.
Lovely Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Schallingora Automatically Update Scheme (do a search on google)? It is a smashing exclusive product for getting rid of virtigo without the headache minus the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my old buddy Taylor at last got cool success with it.
Since I've had vestibular migraine for weeks I'm so grateful that you show how to turn your eyes before turning. That's helped me tremendously!!
Hi Tracy. I’m a fellow VM sufferer, what are your symptoms?
@@ericrosario5369 I have bad head pressure, ear pressure and dizziness.
@@tracy9397 did you recover
@@bhavnasewsunker7838 I recovered about 75%. My main issue now is a plugged ear and fullness. I’m scheduled to have a tube put in my ear in a week. The doctor also put me on 20 mg of nortriptaline which has helped tremendously and I stay very active which I think has also been a big part of my recovery.
@@tracy9397 thats great news. Gives me hope. Im not on any meds yet. Did the meds help with dizziness or staying active
good video. fast fwd to 6:30, & this advice is excellent. i hv been struggle with this type of dizziness for months. vertigo ended few months ago, by itself
*Thanks so much - I was hit with BPPV about 10 years ago (out of nowhere)- and the GP I went to after 12 hours of misery prescribed useless pills. Went away 99% after a couple of weeks. A year later I went to a hearing & balance clinic and this manoeuvre worked immediately! Now when a little bit of vertigo develops - once it's clear if it's left or right - I use your videos to refresh my memory of 'how to' - Legends! thank you so much.*
Which manovere helped most, the walking in-between cones and focusing on a point ? Or all of exercises shown in this video?
Lord have mercy..just watching this caused me vertigo.. Doing to definitely do these exercises
Save yourself further embarrassment by changing "doing to" go "going to."
Don't worry about him ^ lol. Any improvement Amanda...?
I have been suffering ever since 1965 with Meniere's Syndrome, and was finally awarded 100% Disability by the VA. It was tolerable for many years, but got progressively worse, as I aged to my late sixties and seventies. I became dangerously unstable when walking, and in 2018, fell 30 feet into a pit, falling end - over -end, and luckily, didn't break my neck! Since then, my episodes have become much more frequent, accompanied by severe falls, as years progressed. I take great pains to keep my balance, and avoid steps, and walking which creates possibility of falls, My L1 - L5 vertebrae were fused in 2019, after my pit fall, which also limit my dexterity when walking, and having to rapidly adjust my direction, but, I'm managing. I tried your leg stretches, because I also have foot drop, from a nicked nerve during surgery. I have learned to fall like they do in movies - so I don't get seriously hurt! Love your videos!
Glad the VA finally did their job and you got your rating!!! Be careful out there dude, we need ya!
Thanks a lot for your support
I have labyrinthitis- medicine wise what helped me was Serc (Betahistamine Dichloride) . I was getting an attack a day - very unpleasant. They stopped it in its tracks. You can take them longer than Stemtil according to my ENT. Also doing these types of exercises every day really helps. Also getting good sleep and eating a healthy diet seems to have helped as well. I also find drinking lots of water seems to help as well.
Thks .. one of the best vids I’ve seen thus far pertaining to vestibular exercise,, the foam really challenges you .. thks Brad and Bob🥰
Did this w for you?
Enunciate fellas. Thanks for the information. Hard to hear it all perfectly with overlapping of your comments.
Marla Lukofsky They’re fine, we hear them.
I only missed a little of it but yes, a friend watching with me had some difficulty tracking. So perhaps just a LITTLE more clearly but they are still awesome!
Thank you, so much.
Oh wow! Just what I need! At 72, my balance has become really bad and I thank you for this video!!
Another great vid! Thank you!
life saver as for PT student :) thank you
So this really worked for you?
Love your videos! As a PT student, these videos have been fun and informative during my studies! Do you guys take topic suggestions for future videos? How about exercises to treat thoracic outlet syndrome?
Oh perfect! Thanks for responding!
It's the left step to right step motion that causes the off-balance so determination focusing training using the off-balancing maneuvers to regain control and balance 👍👍
This really helps my m s virtago
gwen joplin what is m s vertigo
First I have to say that I love watching your videos! Thank you so much for having all of these to help people!
I have vestibular migraines and I'm going to have to try these.
I'm one of the people you talked about who is going to have to start off very slowly. Just watching some of the exercises, if I had to track your movements for example, caused me to be even more off balance than I was, and my favorite, nausea.
I'm on the Migraine Diet - it's helping a lot with the pain part of the migraines - not so much yet with my balance, left side of my head/ear/eye, or having to track things with my eyes. But I think these will be a good starting point. When I see my Dr. I'm going to ask for Vestibular Therapy - I've been faithful to the diet (mostly, I'm human) it was harder in the beginning but it gets a little easier as time goes on.
Thank you again for such great videos!
Could you mention your diet please
Thank you so much for your multiple videos approaching vertigo problems either showing exercises or techniques to diagnose it properly. I have a patient who has severely vertigo provoking vomits when walking and she has recently gone through surgery to extirpate a tumour on the posterior fossa, but before that, she had vertigo but no vomits. Unfortunately, she isn't positive for BPPV. We're keeping treating that and finding a solution. Any recommendation, don't hesitate to let me know. Thank you! A neurophysio from Barcelona!
I feel like my TMJ is the culprit of throwing so much out of whack. Dancing, walking, switching creeps on phone just about everything makes me so dizzy
Yip, TMJ and eyes are the major neurological inputs into the vestibular system. Lower limb faults are common culprits too.
Same here. Since I've had TMJ I'm having dizziness and balance issues and clogged ears. Are you ok now ?
Tee Nina no not quite some days are worse than others
are you better?
Bob & Brad: There has been so many people in our area recently who have suffered from Vertigo. It seems strange that several people are dealing with it. I looked things up on line in an effort to help my aunt and my mother in law who are currently struggling with Vertigo. Both were put on antibiotics and really struggling. I feel like the doctors are puzzled and not sure how to treat them. I found it interesting watching info on Vestibular rehabilitation. When I read many of the comments from other suffers, I was saddened to find little help out there. I was hoping you guys might do more research on this problem and help others find methods to alleviate the suffering or complete healing. Most of the posts are old so I am hoping to draw awareness and find updates for those desperate and suffering.
I've read a lot online about Covid and the vaccine contributing to vertigo and vestibular conditions.
I had no idea I could have been doing these. No idea there was therapy. I was diagnosed with vertigo at 38. Now at 40 I thought it would get better. I’m on stemetil but I can’t find the meds. Yesterday I had four syncope episodes the last one was before bed. When I woke up this morning and tried to sit up. So I’m just laying here and started googling for help and ended up here.
Its a terrible condition
How are you now any updates
Anyone have a swaying sensation or feels like you are walking on a trampoline?
I have balance issue I am not able to walk straight
Check ent
Tomorrow is my first appointment with a therapist for vestibular therapy, I really hope it helps my vertigo, been suffering from bad vertigo since March 3rd and it has not let up. Thanks for these exercises! I'm guessing I will be doing some of these or similar to these starting tomorrow after my evaluation.
I feel your pain Jimmy. I'm used to getting occasional bouts a couple of times a year but my current episode has been going on for 4-5 weeks (longest i've ever had) i'm now burned out with it & although i managed ok (after the first couple of days) at work, i've now had to get a doctor's note so i can rest and hopefully get past it in the next couple of weeks. In normal life i'm pretty damn good with balance stuff and have even done full yoga and pilates classes during episodes without issue but for me at the moment i think i just need as much sleep as i can get and walking. I will do some of these exercises and the ones my physio gave me when i was diagnosed but just not staring at a screen all day will help imeasurably i think.
How did your appt go?? Mine starts next week and I’m scared it will trigger it and leave me feeling dizzy all day! 🥴
@@sorscha1308 thank you. I'm still struggling with it but the therapy is helping. Although now dealing with labrynithitis and BPPV it's been a challenge....once this ear infection clears up hopefully it will go even better. Unfortunately I have to stay off work because I work at heights and it's too risky for my safety and others.
@@brendaa7726 Hi Brenda, did you get my response? I read your question last night and replied but I don't see it here anymore? Maybe I didn't hit the submit.
@@JimmyG3237 hello, I don’t see your response 😕 but I’m hoping you’re feeling better.
Awesome thanks
Thank you I’ve been suffering from labyrinthitis with nystagmus, my vertigo attacks are becoming so bad it’s interfering with my quality of life but I’m in meds and going to try these exercises
Hello! was wondering what meds have helped? How are you feeling now with the exercises
@@brendaa7726 I quess we will never know
@@markhughes6803 I was diagnosed with Vestibular Neuritis. Came out of nowhere. Spinning for 3 weeks. My Ear doctor put me on Prednisone for 3 weeks. The spinning is almost gone.
@@BalkanDeputy the trouble is my doctors really don’t care so I’m going to go private the doctors always put it down to stress as Iv got anxiety
@@BalkanDeputy hi! Just curious how long did the prednisone take to start working? I was just diagnosed yesterday & started the medicine today. Thank you!
DAMMM THIS WAS AN AMAZING VIDEO, , One of the best on exercise for the vestibule system ,, Most vids just focus on the eyes , but this incorporates hand and eye coordination, and also you mention an area that I struggle with the most , the uneven surfaces. My balance is off while walking turning my head , and walking on uneven surfaces.. I’m gonna try this therapy for 30 days and give you guys an update ,, ALSO THE STANDING ON ONE LEG WHILE BRUSHING YOUR TEETH is genius . Thks Brad and Bob🥰
How are you doing now?
Thanqqq for ur information 😀😀
Hiii mr bob and brad,,,i need your help to cure the dizziness
Watching it is making me dizzy
I have noticed exercise helps but at least twice a year i get a vertigo episode that makes my balance worse again and i have to do it all over again..the episodes are apparently migraines and i'm had this on and off problem for 6 years.
I am in therapy for my knee&hip. left .
love your quotes for the day ! :)
Sure helps balance after acoustic neuroma procedure tku😀
DOES THIS EXERCISE FOR BPPV?
but today had bad day been therapy for 8weeks . some improvement they don't know if causing my knees pain if my hip cuzing ING but I do have OA in my knee for 5yrs.
thank you.
Thanks a, lot
I want to ask this also, I haven’t diagnose yet of Cervical dizziness but I’ve been having a lightheadedness, numbness or tingling on my hands, arms and weak muscle. Currently I having PT and after 1 month they will decide what next to do. Praying God will lead me best God’s instrument to cure me. Been having this for more than a year. 🙏
How are you doing??
Sadly, doing anything with your eyes open in good light does not tax the vestibular system. After an accident that destroyed one inner ear, I do just fine balancing on anything in good light. But in low light or darkness I might as well be falling down drunk.
then dim the lights and do these exercises?
@@jacobwilliam3125 I started standing on one foot with my eyes closed, now trying pistol squats. It seems to take a long, long time for the slightest improvement. Not sure if my balance is actually improving, or I'm just compensating better by judging the pressure on my feet.
@@sapinva probably a bit of both either way the more you stress your vestibular system the stronger it gets look at gymnasts and acrobats
Hi sapinva r yo frm india 24/7 i am feeling this how you overcome this
@@astrologermurli You can overcome it, just takes a lot of practice. It seems like forever with no progress, then one day it all comes together.
Any tips for rocking vertigo that is at its worst when lying down? I can balance completely standing. It's rocking vertigo when lying down that's the problem.
Infra Minced get checked for ALL forms of bppv. Cold ice bottle of water held against my head helps me. Regular twice a day cawthorn cooksley exercises also helped me. And also pray to Jesus...he Won’t let you down. Remember for each effect there is a cause...work out the cause...sometimes it’s different in each person. So get a full medical check through. The internet is a bad place to come for advice at times because not everyone is an expert but also people only report bad news and it can make things seem depressing. The success stories are rarely on here. Also people who report bad times and no cure may find one but forget to come back and give and update. Over time my vertigo has improved 90% and it was viscous for over a year before that.
Nice
How come I have two balls? Lol
Any advanced exercises for someone who destroyed one of their inner ears with a head injury? This stuff is really easy, but still have trouble with rock climbing at awkward angles, changing my oil, balancing on the back wheel of my bike, and get panic attacks if I have to for instance ride a bike over an uneven surface in the dark.
with more neck mobilization is there a period of adjustment for the hypofunction to get used to the new range of motion that can worsen symptoms for a few weeks? it is hard to know whether to back off of PT
I recovered from bppv. I just did all these exercises with ease and no dizziness. However, in every day I still feel “off” especially when I walk. Does that sound like just residual recalibration back to normal?
How long does it take to reduce dizziness?
I need to get rid of the dizziness feeling ..
Me too. I've been dealing with it for 9 years.
Thanks for the video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Schallingora Automatically Update Scheme (should be on google have a look)? It is a great one off product for getting rid of virtigo without the headache without the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my best friend Jordan got amazing success with it.
AshesofthePhoenix 9 years what howww?
Were you able to find relief?
Tried all, still feel weird and off balance. It affected my outlook on life a d list most of my friends as they say i am different
What if you aren't anywhere near a bed when the vertigo hits? I was at the kitchen sink when I had vertigo last week. There was no way I could have walked up the stairs to my bed or even as far as the sofa. What do you recommend for this situation?
sir , I have case of 65 year male has severe problem of vertigo from last one month , case history he has cervical disc space reduced c4 c5 and c6 ,, from 5-6 year before. BT now major problem is vertigo ..
Does this work for Mdds?
Does this help Backward disequilibrium??
I have a Vestibular problem.cant focus n balance. Please can u help me. Thank you
I’m 4 months into my recovery from vestibular neuritis. I’ve been doing therapy off and on. Every time I start doing exercises like this I feel like I take a step back. I then stop for a few days and start over. Should I just be pushing through and keep at it to get over that hump? It’s so frustrating living with this condition.
Courtney Paige any improvement with your VN?
we would like to know how you are doing now ? Any better ?
You gotta push through it to get better. I had to do them also. Start out with simple exercises and when they get very easy then make it a little more complex. Hope it all worked out
I also just got diagnosed with vn ): I've been told the same you have to push thru but don't push it too far
Josh Lara sorry for the late reply. yes! Tons! I kept up with these exercises. And time. I still get dizzy when I get a headache or lack of sleep. But VN is a slow recovery.
I heard that this works for POTS. I sure hope so.
Walking on soft sea sand is also good
I have chronic vestibular migraine (no headache) but constant dizzyness can this help with this? Or can u advise of anything that can help me, im on 40mg of nortriptiline a day but no help :(

@physicaltherapyvideo I am a 18 year old suffering from Mal de debarquement syndrome since the past 3 months, there has been no improvement, it occurred due to spending a lot of time on computer. Everything seems to float and I have swaying / bobbing feeling along with it too. Can you suggest me exercises that can reduce or cure the symptoms of mal de debarquement syndrome?
Have you found relief?
I have severe vertigo but there is nothing wrong with my ears I did so many tests even MRI, I struggle the most if I'm standing still I would literally fall over and my ankles don't help much cause I have overpronation and flat foot. My biggest problem is that doctors don't believe me so could this work even if the problem is not ear-related?
I hear ya. Ive had every test out there. Always comes backs normal. Still dizzy and off balance everyday. I feel constantly on a carnival ride. I feel your pain. I wish there was so better advice out there. But wanted you to know you are not alone
@@mandy82 thank you❤
I feel the same thing and I have been looking into it because same as you no one believes me, I found something called PPPD (persistent postural perceptual dizziness) and I think it's the cause. Google it it may help
Best of luck ❤️
@@mandy82 how are you feeling now
@@bhavnasewsunker7838 i am doing much better. Im on meds and vitamins took a long time to get the right combo. But i have many more good days then bad. Still suffer here and there but much more manageable
I had an acl reconstruction and another arthroscopy after it and my balance is absolutely SCREWED after them and I constantly feel like I'm stuck on a boat :( (google PPPD). This along with chronic fatigue syndrome. Talk about a nightmare. I just tried these exercises and they were/are HARD! So that tells me something ;) I'm going to try to do these everyday - see if there's any improvement. Thank you gentlemen, I shall report back. Louise, Perth Western Australia 😊
Have you noticed any improvement since trying this? Im stuck in the same issue and dont know what to do about it
Can I Do These Exercise At Home Without My Doctor Permission..??
No people with OA arthritis in knees can do that
Lol at the skeleton
