Published: Nov 05, 2023
Discover how easy exercises can help you regain your balance and reduce vertigo symptoms.
The Power of Movement
Exercise is a surprising ally against vertigo. Specific movements can help reposition the tiny calcium particles in the inner ear that cause BPPV. These exercises are simple and can be done at home, making them a convenient option for managing symptoms.
Effective Exercises for BPPV
The Epley and Semont maneuvers are two popular exercises for BPPV. These involve a series of controlled head and body movements to shift calcium debris to a less sensitive area of the ear. Regular practice can significantly reduce vertigo episodes.
Self-Treatment Tips
When doing these exercises at home, it's important to follow instructions carefully. Watching demonstration videos can help ensure proper technique. Consistency is key, and most people find relief with regular practice over time.
