I received this information from my PT at Advanced Rehabilitation Services in Kalispell MT (1), because I have vertigo; the problem involves both ears and also my eyes. The Epley maneuver restores the crystals in your inner ear canals to the proper place, so you don’t get dizzy. The eye exercises (not included here) are needed if you also have balance problems when standing/walking.
The Epley maneuver is done on your bed, and is very effective, but the problem can recur after a few days, weeks or months. If that happens, resume the exercises again, until the problem goes away (for now).
I first did the exercises in 2017; the problem did not reoccur until earlier this year (2019). In September, I saw my acupuncturist for a problem in my hip – it is tilted up on the right side; he taught me how to do Self Sotai exercises on the floor or a bed with a firm mattress. Then a few days ago I realized that I can do the Sotai exercises first, and follow them with the Epley Maneuver while lying on my bed. This works great. See my post: Self Sotai Exercises if you want to give this a try; they are easy and the results are amazing for posture issues and more.
Note: I will be moving this to my Health and Metabolism blog, once I get all my old articles moved from my iweb site.
