Our brain structures have the ability to counteract vertigo (central-vestibular compensation). To do so, our brain has to learn to consider only correct information and ignore erroneous one – e.g. information coming from an affected balance organ. Even the malfunctioning of one or both balance organs can be compensated by way of consistent and strict balance training! This learning process can be specifically helped along through certain vertigo exercises, also called balance exercises. Even the movements of your daily life, e.g. taking a walk (with company to make you feel safe), can be a helpful balance exercise.
Truth is, with vertigo - regardless which type of vertigo - you should not take it easy but on the contrary strengthen your overall balance system through physical activities like balance training. This boosts your balance system and your body's own ability of compensating. This, in general, also supports the recovery process after a vertigo attack and helps alleviating the complaints.
In the following we present you specific vertigo exercises that – in addition to the advantages of taking Vertigoheel® – are the ideal additional support during a vertigo attack. Apart from balance exercises that can be performed lying down, there are also exercises you can do sitting or standing up. By doing balance exercises on a regular basis, the brain learns how to handle vertigo. This again can lead to a situation where vertigo subsides for good.
For your convenience, we offer you our balance exercises as well as our vertigo diary as a download. That way you can print them out and always have them at hand.
Pick three to four vertigo exercises and do them in a reclined position or sitting down. Do these balance exercises several times per day over a period of four to six weeks. Should you at first feel dizzy during the vertigo training, ask friends or relatives to assist you or ask your doctor for advice. Regular training will help to alleviate the symptoms.
