Are you experiencing dizziness getting and out from the bed or throughout the day?
If you do, you need to do the exercises that I will be showing you in this video.
When you get dizzy getting in and out the bed or anytime throughout the day you might be experiencing vertigo. Vertigo Is the sensation of spinning triggered by your
head moving very quickly or sudden postural changes.
It’s most common causes are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, infection, Meniere’s disease and migraine.
That feeling of dizziness or where everything seems to be spinning around can be the debilitating and stops you from doing your normal daily activities. It is important to manage your dizziness so that you can do your self-care without losing balance or fear of falling.
Occupational therapy can guide you using exercises that will help your body to get used to the postural changes or signals that is causing your vertigo.
In this video we will be sitting down while doing this exercises to make sure we don’t fall while doing them. First we will be doing ankle and hand pumping. This will help you with the blood circulation.
Next will be doing eye movements. First we will be looking up and down, side to side and diagonal. You are not going to move your head but only your eyes. Do this 10 times and each twice a day.
Next exercise is head movements. You are going to maintain or fix your eyes on an object In front of you while you’re move your head up and down , side to side and diagonally. Do this 10 times each and twice a day.
Third exercise is reaching up and down. Where is your simply going to reach up towards the ceiling and reach down towards our toes. This will train our vestibular system during postural changes.
Next exercise we are going to do Brandt Daroff exercises. First position is we’re going to sit upright then we will turn our head 45° towards the left and then you lay down to your couch or your bed towards the right and hold it for 30 seconds then slowly get up and do the opposite side.
So, these are the exercises that could help you cure your vertigo. I hope this helps and decrease your dizziness.
