Epley Maneuver

Use this maneuver to treat your Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV).

Notice the pillow behind the shoulders. Your head must not lie on the pillow.

this shouldnt be done on a regular basis. this should be done only once.

Do this before sleeping. then after doing this, you have to sleep on an inclined position to keep the gravity down. what i did was i slept on 2 thick pillows to keep my head as vertical as possible. then in the morning, try to keep your head steady. avoid bowing down or leaning back. Keep your head vertically positioned for the next 24hours right after you do this Epley maneuver. If you fail to keep your head vertically, it is most likely your BPPV wont be treated. and you have to do this maneuver again.

This maneauver should be done once. worse case scenario is you do it more than once until you get really well.

for me, i did this twice. so it wasnt easy. but after that i still felt drowzy for after a week. then all became normal.

just had my second bout of vertigo; my doctor (or rather his PA) performed this maneuver along with using a hand-held massager on my head just over my right ear;

hi! sorry i know my response is super late, but when spinning in dance, be sure you're spotting something! if you let your vision spin with the rest of you you'll get dizzier than most. cheers!

go to the doctor and stop the pole dancing (at least the spinning parts). It sounds like you have Benign Positional Vertigo. The little crystals in your inner ear are being disrupted when you spin and makes you feel dizzy and naseous. Do the moves in this video and try not to spin yourself around too much. i just got vertigo and signed up for P90X at my gym. I don't think i will be able to do it because of the vertigo

I had vertigo and did not know it at the time and I was doing this maneuvre on my couch for 3 days not knowing what I was doing (just doing it because it seemed to relieve my symptoms). When I finally saw my doctor and she asked me numerous questions about my actions, she told me that I had cured myself.

This worked great when I had my first bout of BPPV. Not so much with my current bout, but I have high hopes that a few more days will do the trick.
