Dr. Jon I’ve been doing the vestibular exercises with you for going on three weeks. My dizziness is improving. My balance is improving. I can almost walk down the hallway with my thumb in my face and not get dizzy. And today I fix a low ceiling vent and climbed up on a chair & everything! that’s big deal. Thank you . I would like to say one more thing. You being there demonstrating the exercises with us is a huge deal and helps immensely your support your demonstration taking the time and energy. That’s why it works for me.
Hey Rajesh....hope u are doing well...were u able to cure this somehow...I have been suffering through it that it almost causing issues with my professional and personal life....can u suggest something?
I found your channel in November and started doing these exercises ten at a time for 10-14 days and then rotate in one or two new ones. Wet years here in the desert combined with wind create heavy pollen seasons. I was also having increased pain in my hip and my vision had changed so I had the "trinity" of issues that lead to severe stability and balance issues. I'd known about the Epley maneuver but these exercises are life-changing! They are presented in a such a simple to follow format and have given me my active life back.
Thank you for providing this video. I was going to a dizziness institute, but it was costing me $70 or more per visit for the same sort of exercises but it was using machines and other techniques. The at home techniques you are providing are similar, just without expensive equipment, so thanks!!
Doctor Saunders, thank you for that advice at the end of this video. About having good days and bad days. It’s so easy to get frustrated or scared about what if’s when you have had a really bad day. That gave me hope that this will pass with time and it’s not just going to go away overnight. It’s hard to accept that all of a sudden I can’t go for my long therapeutic walks like I used to before this vertigo set in on me. And with your channels help I can get through this issue. Thanks again for posting the videos.
I have vertigo for 10 months. To walk i started using Nordic walking. It has improved my stamina and reduced pain in my knees, hips and back. I’m Nordic walking on grass NOT cement yet
Don’t give up! I have dealt with bppv and a weakened vestibular system for nearly 3 years I am finally feeling so much better. Days where I could barely walk. I am an avid runner and bodybuilder. I just pushed through. Walking will actually my help you .. sending you love and best wishes
@@raichelnicoleinfitnessinhe5587 thanks Raichel~Nicole for your encouragement! I myself am an avid gym lover and have had an absolute awful time getting on my back at the bench doing chest presses! Incredible dizziness & not feeling too good getting up afterwards either... I too just push thru the classes but it's been 3 years of despair quite frankly. However, 3 days in after doing Dr Jon's exercises for Cervicogenic dizziness has been amazing! He is a life saver and I am a new subscriber for life! He's jus given me the link to download these and I can't wait to try them! God bless to all brave suffering souls x
Thank you for that wonderful video. I have vertigo for the last 6 weeks, when to a vertigo specialist in Calgary, $ 220 per 1 hour, just questions...very disappointing. I am very happy I found your video here to start doing something regarding my problem. I hope that is going to help me. Thanks again
Have been having a spike with my tinnitus in my left ear as of late , followed by dizziness . My therapist had me do some of these exercises last year and they did help . Back to square one for me . Thank you for posting these !
You are an absolute angel for sharing this! I was feeling so hopeless and have seen so many doctors with no answers. After just a few days of doing your exercises I feel so much better. Thank you so much!! I hope you have as many blessings in your life as you've given to others by sharing this information to heal them ❤️
I was diagnosed today with the cervical one today. Thank God this is treatable and nothing to seriously wrong with me. I seen my chiropractor today too. Thank you for the information.
yours videos for dizziness are excellent. Dizziness make me afraid and desesparated, for luck I get it not often (4 times in life), the problem: neck/shoder muscles are a lot to tense. Watching your video I will do it with you. Thank your for sharing
Thank you so much!! After a car accident I have been suffering for cervicogenic dizziness for the last six months with neck atrophy which has not allowed me to surf. After two weeks I have noticed huge improvements.
Thank you Dr. Been dealing with vertigo (bppv) for 6months. There are definitely some good days and bad days. I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for this video, it has been very helpful for me when having a bad episode 🙏🏼
Thank you; I will try these exercises. I've been to an ENT specialist and an Audiologist. My hearing was normal and the ENT Specialist couldn't find anything. A CT and MRI scan of my brain was normal and blood chemistry was normal. I've experienced Vertigo in the past. I also take the Beta Blocker Metoprolol after having a heart attack 4 years ago. I've been experiencing walking off balance and dizziness for some time. The ENT Specialist at Kaiser Permanente recommended Vestibular Physical Therapy. It's Saturday night and I am going to try the beginner Vestibular exercises in a chair. I printed the 20 exercises and I will try to do them everyday.
Thank you Dr. Saunders for this very helpful video. I am suffering from Vestibular Neuritis. I am doing the exercises everyday and I’m really enjoying them. They are giving me hope that I will get better soon. I am already getting steadier in my walking. I will let you know as I progress..
Thank you for this video. I have been having issues for 3 months. I believe I had IEDCS after SCUBA diving last October. About 45 minutes after my dive I had a severe case of vertigo that lasted for more than a week. Once I was able to function again I was still lightheaded and would get dizzy very easily. Recovery has been very slow and I was beginning to believe it would never improve any further. That was until I started doing these excelsis daily. It's been 10 days and the tinnitus is almost gone and the dizziness and head fog has definitely decreased. My balance is improving daily. Again thank you for this.
Thank you doctor this is perfect for my vertigo problem ,,I hope it’s okey for you that did all those excercise from your video and I shared it more power to you your an Angel to the people who needs help,God loves you and bless you always👌👏👍❤️🥰
Hi Dr Saunder oh my god l tried your exercises and was sneezing like crazy, unplugging my nose! Pain in the back of the head is so much better thank you 😊 l will continue until lm no longer dizzy! ❤😊
Thank you so much for these videos! Just getting over Covid and developed vestibular neuritis. Can’t get an appointment with anyone till the end of November. These videos have been a life saver. I’m seeing progression and dizziness not as intense. God bless you 🙏
I was diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease about 12 years ago,and aside from the ringing and hissing that I hear 24 / 7…I also have vertigo and my balance is out of whack (really BAD sometimes). I haven’t slept without a T.V. or radio on ever since the diagnosis. Sometimes I feel like I’m going to go INSANE because I can’t escape the noise in my head. But I’ll give these exercises a shot,and see if that can at least help my balance a little bit. Thanks for the video!
Dr. Saunders, how many times a week should we be doing these exercises? Do them daily or do 2-3 times a week? Thank you for your incredible video and keep up the amazing work!
THANK YOU!!!!!, Dr Saunders. I had a stroke and my vestibular is out of wack. I've been looking for a clearly laid out plan. This is going to be a tremendous help. Again, thanks!!! And a instruction sheet too...Sweet!
Been through a ton of medical tests to explain my constant dizziness/lightheadedness and they've all come back clear. Going to start these to see if there's any improvement after getting cleared by doctors that my brain/heart are fine. Thanks so much for these.
Great video. I've had the dizziness and nausea for 20 years on and off. My physio back then said it was vestibular neuronitis. would these exercises help for that?
Excellent video! Having had vertigo recently and now vestibular issues I find this video very helpful. PT twice a week just isn't enough, now I can work on balance at home! Thank you!!
I had the same experience, a vertigo episode closely followed by vestibular issues. You are the first blogger to acknowledge the reality of what happened to me. The professional medical community lacks when diagnosing causes of vestibular issues. I saw two PT's simultaneously. Both leading to similar sets of exercises. Strangely, your excercises should be pattened as standardized protocols. The two PT's I saw adapted techniques to their personalities, one with a spiritual counseling approach (acceptance and self love) the other with a yellow sticky pad (targets) approach. Your video makes infinite sense. I would report a 15% reduction in dizziness from the sticky pad eye movement approach, 10% reduction in dizziness from the counseling approach. But I'll bet making your exercises routine could finish the job. Also, found it's easy to go backwards, when not continuing the exercises (flu episode). Best of luck to your continued success and Kudos to this Doc!
Your exercises and exceptional presentation should be patented as the gold standard. After contracting vestibular issues after a vertigo episode, I was seeing two PT's with vastly different personally stylized approaches leading to similar but scaled sets of exercises. One promoted "Tapping" techniques and Vagas nerve breating exercises, which were very helpful with the anxiety-unsettled piece. She presented lots of tricks, like wearing a baseball cap at Wallmart to prevent from becoming overwhelmed by an expansively illuminated space. We determined that my ankle tendenitis and eustacian tube issues were also contributing. Meaning, a number of tiny causes were contributing to my uneasy experiende. The other PT impatiently went immeadiately to yellow sticky pad eye movement targets, complaining he didn't spend much time on emotional considerations. They were both slowly leading up to similar walking exercises, but my progress was delayed with foot and knee injuries and the flu. Too much beating around the bush from other RUclips presenters. Love your direct approach and exemplary presentation!!! I'll report back in several weeks after grooving your Tool arsenal. I know from the little success I've had up until now - they will work!
i was going through vertigo problem.. didn't know the exact reason..but i was having headache, little high bp, past week i had increased screen time.. all led to dizziness..i also took medication but it hardly helped me..but later on i tried these exercises started 4 times in a day and after 3 days 3 times a day and after that 2 and then 1 time a day..it took around 7-8 days but i got completely recovered... so please give it a try and have patience it feels worse going through this problem.. but there is a solution for everything..wish u speedy recovery:) thanks
Un grand merci de Belgique. Ces différents exercices sont très efficaces. J'avais des difficultés de vertiges,( oreille interne, arthrose cervicale...) et ma situation s'est grandement améliorée. Je devrai continuer à les faire toute ma vie.
I am a vet and have dizziness, especially when I lay flat on my back or rotate my neck. It's flat on my back or froward like in Yoga's child's pose that really sets me spinning sometimes. I thought I had positional vertigo, so I went to VA and had inner ear tests done and they said nothing was wrong with my inner ear, and they recommended physical therapy. I am hoping this helps. I just completed the neck exercises which than said to do this on top of that. I must say, after one session of the neck exercises the painful tightness on the right side of my neck has subsided as well as the head fog. Hoping this video helps as well.
I was diagnosed with vestibular migraine 5 years back. I am on regular medication since then 😢These exercises are pure gold, however when i do them i get lot of scary dizziness episodes. To an extent that it brings back my panic attacks. Please let me know if its normal? Thanks Doc❤
@drjonsaunders Thanks a lot, Doc. just one clarification, these episodes don't come while I do these exercises, but afterward, during the day, all of a sudden.
Radiation and head/neck cancer surgery has left me with vertigo and dizziness. My vision is blurry and lost 50 pounds 178...128. Should not have done radiation, biggest mistake of my "golden years." Thx for your help.
I’m meniere patient, injected 5 Gentamicin intratympanic, suffering so much . Just started the rehab. I will stick to your videos. My question is Will I be back to normal one day ? What is the average time for my case, based on your experience, to be back to normal? 😢😢Thanks
Thank you for this- thank you being so inspiring and encouraging. I just found you and your channel and am suffering my a 2 week migraine and vertigo episode. Doing these daily is helping me 💪🏻🤍🙏🏻
Thank you so much for these exercises! I have been feeling quite "off" for a few weeks post vertigo. The exercises I thought was the most challenging were the gaze exercises. I always felt that something was wrong with my eye movements (have a lot of eye fatigue when using the computer or cell phone), but I never thought it was a vestibular problem.
Hi Dr Jon, I'd like to thank you for sharing these exercises. I adapted some of them into a mindful movement practice which solved vestibular problems, cervical and thoracic spine issues, cranial hypertension, head realignment, jaw pain and facial flacidity issues after a TBI. Thankyou so much, I am referencing this video in a thesis I am writing about my rehabilitation journey at university in the UK. Hope that's OK.
Thank you so much for these videos! They are so helpful! How do you know when to move on to the next level of vestibular exercises? Should we have no reaction to the easier exercises before moving on? Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I found some texts describing Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises, but this will be so much easier to follow. Really appreciate it.
How often do we have to do this exercise per day!. i have vertigo in both sides. having betserc 16mg thrice a day. aged 33. Thanks for ur lovely explanation. GOD BLESS YOU
Do you have any recommendations for people mid recovery who are having vision issues? The dizziness has improved but vision issues have become much worse. I’ve been to an eye dr and my eyes besides being dry are good. I read vestibular issues can cause eye issues. I’m hoping I can get back to normal soon.💖
Hi Jon Saunders I have been diagnosed with inner infection vestibular how often I can do these exercises weekly?I started today I felt a bit relief for the first time.Thanks
Thanks for the great video. Question for you: Another online source recommends similar exercises 2-3X a day and if you do them all, it takes about 45 minutes. You mention doing them once a day for no more than 15 minutes. Do you have any input or experience with different amounts of these exercises per day? Appreciate it.
If you push past 15 minutes, it sometimes will exacerbate your dizziness/balance. As you improve, you can extend the time and increase in difficulty for exercises. Best wishes.
I’m going through vesitublar migraine. I get dizzy all the time and light headed but get more dizzy and light headed in certain places outside like supermarkets and crowded places.
Dr Saunders,thank you for posting this video. My doctor recommended that i do these exercises for my vertigo. My question is how often should I do them and once the dizziness improves or is completely gone should i keep doing them? I am 58 year old male. thank you again
Thank you ver much. These exercises are good for every canal ? And how one know which side (rt or left) is affected? Hoping to hearing from you. Sincerely, Roberto
I have MS and two large certival lesions on my spinal chord C5 &C6. I have balance issues and the vertigo just makes it worse so it was recommended by my PT to do some exercises for this issue.
Oh my gosh can I have been suffering from what was diagnosed by the doctors as idiosyncratic vestibular dysfunction. Medication they could offer however this appears to be something that may help regain some functionality that was lost due to a neck injury by a masseuse. Also it was diagnosed as hereditary.I'm going to try this and I really appreciate that your video popped up today. Because it seems to come and go more frequently when the pressure of the air a storm coming or going makes it worse.
I am so grateful for this video, thank you Dr Saunders. My question is, when I can handle all the exercises comfortably, could I do the first 10 exercises in the morning and the second 10 exercises in the afternoon/evening? (15 minutes for each). Or is it best to mix it up i.e. do some of the easier, earlier exercises with the more advanced ones in each 15 minute session?

I found your channel in November and started doing these exercises ten at a time for 10-14 days and then rotate in one or two new ones. Wet years here in the desert combined with wind create heavy pollen seasons. I was also having increased pain in my hip and my vision had changed so I had the "trinity" of issues that lead to severe stability and balance issues. I'd known about the Epley maneuver but these exercises are life-changing! They are presented in a such a simple to follow format and have given me my active life back.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for providing this video. I was going to a dizziness institute, but it was costing me $70 or more per visit for the same sort of exercises but it was using machines and other techniques. The at home techniques you are providing are similar, just without expensive equipment, so thanks!!
I hope you feel better soon!
You are lucky to pay only 70… there are some in LA that are charging me $500/ hr

I am a vet and have dizziness, especially when I lay flat on my back or rotate my neck. It's flat on my back or froward like in Yoga's child's pose that really sets me spinning sometimes. I thought I had positional vertigo, so I went to VA and had inner ear tests done and they said nothing was wrong with my inner ear, and they recommended physical therapy. I am hoping this helps. I just completed the neck exercises which than said to do this on top of that. I must say, after one session of the neck exercises the painful tightness on the right side of my neck has subsided as well as the head fog. Hoping this video helps as well.
I hope you continue to feel better.
I was diagnosed with vestibular migraine 5 years back. I am on regular medication since then 😢These exercises are pure gold, however when i do them i get lot of scary dizziness episodes. To an extent that it brings back my panic attacks. Please let me know if its normal? Thanks Doc❤
Yes they can exacerbate your symptoms when you first begin so you need to start slowly. Best wishes.
@drjonsaunders Thanks a lot, Doc. just one clarification, these episodes don't come while I do these exercises, but afterward, during the day, all of a sudden.
Radiation and head/neck cancer surgery has left me with vertigo and dizziness. My vision is blurry and lost 50 pounds 178...128. Should not have done radiation, biggest mistake of my "golden years." Thx for your help.
Sorry to hear about that...stay positive and best wishes for your future.
Excellent. THANKS!!
You're welcome!
You made my day!First time doing the exercises!
Thank you!🙏👏❤️
You're so welcome!
I’m meniere patient, injected 5 Gentamicin intratympanic, suffering so much . Just started the rehab. I will stick to your videos. My question is
Will I be back to normal one day ?
What is the average time for my case, based on your experience, to be back to normal?
😢😢Thanks
Really hard to predict...good luck and keep working at it.
Thank you for this- thank you being so inspiring and encouraging. I just found you and your channel and am suffering my a 2 week migraine and vertigo episode. Doing these daily is helping me 💪🏻🤍🙏🏻
Wonderful! Welcome! :)
You are the best doctor!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow, thanks! :)
Hello Dr. Jon.I watched you video today and started the exercises . Hope I will be relieved soon from cervical vertigo.
That is a hard thing to know...as long as you are seeing even minimal improvements it means you are on the right track...best wishes.
Thank you so much for these exercises! I have been feeling quite "off" for a few weeks post vertigo. The exercises I thought was the most challenging were the gaze exercises. I always felt that something was wrong with my eye movements (have a lot of eye fatigue when using the computer or cell phone), but I never thought it was a vestibular problem.
I hope you find this helpful! :)
Can not be better v. good showing…and explanation…Thanks…..
Glad you liked it!
Hello Dr. Jon Saunders, I just see your video, I will try your exercises soon. Thank you.
Best of luck!
Hi Dr Jon, I'd like to thank you for sharing these exercises. I adapted some of them into a mindful movement practice which solved vestibular problems, cervical and thoracic spine issues, cranial hypertension, head realignment, jaw pain and facial flacidity issues after a TBI. Thankyou so much, I am referencing this video in a thesis I am writing about my rehabilitation journey at university in the UK. Hope that's OK.
Glad you found it helpful...best wishes.
Thank you Doctor, it was very helpful.. God bless you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for these videos! They are so helpful!
How do you know when to move on to the next level of vestibular exercises? Should we have no reaction to the easier exercises before moving on?
Thank you!!!
Follow the instructions on the .PDF in the description below - best wishes. :)
thanks Dr Jon Saunders
My pleasure!
Awesome exercises all in one place! Perfect for my issues! Was perfect timing! How to print pdf? Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful! Check the description for the .pdf
You presented some of the Best exercises. Thank You!
You're so welcome!
Merci beaucoup pour les sous titres en Français, je vais essayer tous ces exercices
Pas de problème, tout le meilleur!
Thank you so much for this video. I found some texts describing Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises, but this will be so much easier to follow. Really appreciate it.
My pleasure, best wishes.
So much in agreement
How often do we have to do this exercise per day!. i have vertigo in both sides. having betserc 16mg thrice a day. aged 33. Thanks for ur lovely explanation. GOD BLESS YOU
Once to start and move up to twice daily.
Do you have any recommendations for people mid recovery who are having vision issues? The dizziness has improved but vision issues have become much worse. I’ve been to an eye dr and my eyes besides being dry are good. I read vestibular issues can cause eye issues. I’m hoping I can get back to normal soon.💖
Yes, keep working through the exercises by buying instructions on the .Pdf in description below video.
gonna try this for my diagnosis of PPPD
thank you
Should be helpful for PPPD...all the best!
Hi Jon Saunders I have been diagnosed with inner infection vestibular how often I can do these exercises weekly?I started today I felt a bit relief for the first time.Thanks
Start with a few times per week and work up to daily if you can tolerate it.
Thanks doctor for sharing nice home rehabilitation
Always welcome!
Thanks for the great video. Question for you: Another online source recommends similar exercises 2-3X a day and if you do them all, it takes about 45 minutes. You mention doing them once a day for no more than 15 minutes. Do you have any input or experience with different amounts of these exercises per day? Appreciate it.
If you push past 15 minutes, it sometimes will exacerbate your dizziness/balance. As you improve, you can extend the time and increase in difficulty for exercises. Best wishes.
One of a Kind very Beneficial Doc & Exc!Lord Bkess yu 🙏🏻
🙏
Dr Jon, you're such a kind and helpful doctor.. .. appreciate your reply very much.. Thanks again..
Thank you for your nice comments...best wishes!
Thank you! I will now be doing these exercises.
All the best!
Currently in the middle of a bout of vestibular neuritis for a week now. Definitely going to give these a try.
Best of luck!
Did the treatment work? I had VN 5 weeks or so ago and it still is haunting me
I’m going through vesitublar migraine. I get dizzy all the time and light headed but get more dizzy and light headed in certain places outside like supermarkets and crowded places.
I hope you found my video helpful.
Hi Doctor ，may I know how many times we should do in a day,thank you very much .
Start with once daily and move up to twice daily over a period of a few weeks. Best wishes.
Dr Saunders,thank you for posting this video. My doctor recommended that i do these exercises for my vertigo. My question is how often should I do them and once the dizziness improves or is completely gone should i keep doing them? I am 58 year old male. thank you again
Good question...the answer may be different for each case...try and reduce it as you get better and see if you stay well. Best wishes.
Thank you ver much. These exercises are good for every canal ? And how one know which side (rt or left) is affected? Hoping to hearing from you. Sincerely, Roberto
These are for those who need to retrain their vestibular system, not necessarily a treatment for BPPV specifically. Best wishes.
I have MS and two large certival lesions on my spinal chord C5 &C6. I have balance issues and the vertigo just makes it worse so it was recommended by my PT to do some exercises for this issue.
Best wishes.
Dr Jon....wonderful.
Thank you kindly. :)
Thank you for sharing.😊
My pleasure 😊
Thank you for sharing and the PDF. I need this bad 😣
Any time! Best wishes.
Wow thank you soo very much doc..will try this exercises. ...
All the best!
I love the way this video was presented. ❤ Going to give it a go.
Hope you enjoy!
Thx doc, you helped me alot !!
Glad to hear it!
Oh my gosh can I have been suffering from what was diagnosed by the doctors as idiosyncratic vestibular dysfunction. Medication they could offer however this appears to be something that may help regain some functionality that was lost due to a neck injury by a masseuse. Also it was diagnosed as hereditary.I'm going to try this and I really appreciate that your video popped up today. Because it seems to come and go more frequently when the pressure of the air a storm coming or going makes it worse.
I hope you feel better soon!
Thank you very much doctor.
Most welcome!
Hi Doctor Saunders thanks for this helpful video I have questions how many time day we have to practice this 20 exercise Thanks
Any time that is convenient for you. :)
I am so grateful for this video, thank you Dr Saunders. My question is, when I can handle all the exercises comfortably, could I do the first 10 exercises in the morning and the second 10 exercises in the afternoon/evening? (15 minutes for each). Or is it best to mix it up i.e. do some of the easier, earlier exercises with the more advanced ones in each 15 minute session?
You can do it either way, or whichever way you are finding it more helpful. Best wishes.
@@drjonsaunders Thank you, appreciate your response Dr Saunders.
I’m really going to put these to use. Almost a week off a 50 ft catamaran my balance has been off and I even had 2 migraines which is rare.
Best wishes!
