Epley Maneuver: Performed on a Real Patient suffering from Vertigo

[@stacieklueber6340]

As a doctor of PT and lymphedema certified clinician, I use Bob & Brads videos frequently to refresh my memory when treating patients. Thanks Bob & Brad!

[@sparky6319]

I was suffering severe vertigo which was getting progressively worse, when I came across this video after searching for a cure online out of sheer desperation and countless unnecessary and useless GP appointments and medications. I followed the advice given here, doing the procedure myself, I'm delighted to say it worked and I've been symptom free now for 2 years! Cured! It's been life changing. Why on earth don't more medical practitioners know about / prescribe this treatment? Thank you so much guys!

This technique saved me about 15 years ago. I was completely debilitated with vertigo. I couldn't drive or even leave my house. Someone introduced me to the Epley Maneuver and after one treatment I was symptom free for over a year. I had one more slight episode about a year and a half later. I immediately did the maneuver and I've been symptom free ever since.

[@mictaylor9531]

THIS WORKED FOR ME! I’m a 48-year-old male from the UK. I developed what I soon realised was vertigo on a Friday evening whilst laying in bed. It was horrific, spinning followed by vomiting more spinning and vomiting. I’ve never felt so out of control in all my life, completely debilitating and exhausting. This went on all weekend until on the Sunday when I was able to sit down and have a look at some KZbin info on the condition , I found the Epley manoeuvre and gave it a go immediately twice on the right side with no obvious effects and then once on the left. As soon as I rolled my head over I could feel the spinning and my wife said that my eyes were twitching like mad, I just managed to control it so I wasn’t sick. I went through the manoeuvre holding for 60 seconds in the 3 positions, until I eventually set up. I still felt terrible and it didn’t immediately stop the nausea side of the condition so I went to bed sat up slightly. I woke up at 2 o’clock in the morning for the first time without the room swimming in four days I could’ve cried! I rolled over where I would normally have been back in a flat spin. I went straight back to sleep and woke up like nothing had ever happened. Thank Goodness, my relief was insane. I’d encourage anyone to give it a try.

[@seanb.4712]

Yup exactly how I felt. Vertigo is scary. Thank God for this Epley maneuver.

[@mycommentpwnz]

Yes, it is AWFUL. I've had it for the last 2 days, and the "ER" was ZERO HELP. My vertigo is SO BAD I can't do these techniques, because there is NO WAY I can control my head and body for 30 seconds while I'm spinning.

[@mycommentpwnz]

Are you a weight lifter by chance? Because mine started like ONE DAY after I was doing "neck exercises."

[@seanb.4712]

@mycommentpwnz I used to play all sports back in the day. I am now 55. I think mine is more age related. There are 3 or so techniques to help clear the crystals from the ear carnal that is causing the Vertigo or BPPV. It absolutely sucks. I used the Epley manuver and the Foster Manuever. Both worked for me. See them in action in KZbin. Commit to the mauver to completion as you will feel like you want to throw up from the spinning and your eyes bouncing but it will subside. Best of luck!

[@seanb.4712]

@mycommentpwnz yes it feels like your falling off the face of the earth. Do the technique with the help of a friend or family member present. Trust me it is uncomfortable as hell. Buy, when the crystals settle in the correct place in your ears trust me it is a relief like no other. Amen. Or, you will probably have to go to an ENT doctor for help. I didnt want to pay for something I could do on my own. Good luck!

[@michaeld.3779]

These guys explained it better than all the other KZbin videos I saw. My two-week bout with vertigo has ended. The difference was where I saw how the head should be tilted below the shoulders. I didn't have a physician's table, so I lay on my bed with a pillow under my shoulders so my head could tilt back further during the maneuver. I performed this maneuver before going to bed. When I awoke, the room didn't spin as I got up, but for hours I was dizzy--but not like before; it was constant but not as severe. However, by the middle of the day, I had no vertigo at all. When I went to bed the following night and first lay my head down, the room did not spin. When I awoke and got up, the room didn't spin. I'm hoping this situation stays clear. For now, I'm vertigo clear. Whoopee!

I have done this for my mom a few times and it has been the only thing to help her. It works! This has saved me from having to take her into physical therapy for vertigo, which she was diagnosed with. She likes to have this done before bed and she wears a neck brace so that she keeps her neck straight and chin up. She gets through breakfast the next morning before taking the brace off and there was only one time that it didn't work, in which I repeated it the next evening. The last time I did the maneuver for her was about 10 months ago and it hasn't returned since.

@@jeetnehra743 If what you have is really BPPV and caused by the crystals in the inner ear being in the wrong place, 1 or 2 times should do it. Be sure to do it correctly. When you first tip your head back, you will get very dizzy, but it will go away soon- in less than a minute. then when you turn your head the other direction- you'll probably be a little less dizzy, and that will go away soon. And the last step should be even less dizziness. If you try this correctly and your symptoms don't get better after a few tries, go to a doctor to see what's wrong. Get better soon : )

@@CzechRiot: This happened 5 times in October/November 2016 and once in 2018 to someone I know. Each time it lasted about 4 hours in the morning from the moment they woke up. It was very scary and disabling. They did not know about the Epley Maneuver then. From what I understand this vertigo can happen at any time. I don't believe it is an age related issue. Another person I know had an extreme case. It lasted for months. They were in the hospital. They vomited often from the vertigo. They were definitely disabled. One more person I know just the other day had an occurrence of it where it lasted only a few minutes. All of these people are over 50 years old but, again, I don't believe it is age related but then I really do not know.

[@CzechRiot]

@@billwilson5341 From what I read, like most things, it´s age related to the extent that "everything" tends to become more likely once you age, all kinds of problms and diseases (generally speaking). I actually had about 5 or 6 episodes, maybe a little more, less then 10. One of my grandmothers had it, only started later in life, my sister also had it. It seems to be genetic (partially). The first time I had it, about 2 hours prior I was at the gym, lifting heavy, and felt a slight pop in my head. It was very mild, so I didn´t bother. But when I was home preparing lunch, when I leaned back to drink water it hit me hard, I didn´t know what was going on, I thought it could be some sort of stroke or whatever, I stater falling sideays with Nystagmus, and nausea. I sat on a chair for about 20 minutes or so, until my eyes stopped twitching. Then I was sort of ok, but felt a little weird the rest of the day, nothing major. The second time I believe I had it while sleeping, which was very weird. It comes out of nowhere. Since i read there´s no cure or real understanding for why it happens, I sort of ignored it, and learned to be prepared mentally for when it happened. Two years ago I was ironing a shirt cause I was about to go to a party, when it happened, I was like... god damn it... but also was like, fuck it, I´m gonna go anyway. I took certain pain medications (it helps) and simpply focused on balacing my body (you learn how to do it eventually). About an hour later I was basically ok. I had it twice last year, but it´s been like 8 months since i last had it. Still I feel like about to have it occasionaly, I just hyperventilate intentionally and the feeling goes away. It´s all some sort of game. BTW, I´m not old or have any other health issues that I know of. But when I had it, one thing that helped was going out running, I guess the increased blood flow and temperature makes things better.

It eventually calmed down. Went to 5 top ENT docs. NO ONE KNEW WHAT I HAD OR HOW TO HELP ME. I suffered with it for 8 months before I came upon a chiropractor who knew exactly what I had and I was treated w/ the Epley manuever 2 times and was cured. I do still get vertigo very mildly and do the maneuver to rebalance. It is a miracle treatment and so simple although can be discomforting to have to incur the dizziness to treat it and get the crystals back in their right place but so worth it. Nice to have a doctor do it with you. Dehydration can increase crystal displacement and of course a fall or head injury. Cheers to Dr. Epley!

Called fire/rescue and sat half way on the couch and floor puking until they arrived. Wasn't sure if it was a stroke or what. Got to the hosp. Had an mri, cat scan, heart xray and scan. It stopped about 6 hours later. Woman doc tells me that night it's some kind of rocks in my inner ear. I looked it up aftet i got home and read all about the crystals breaking loose in the ear canal. The only thing i can add to your video is when your doing the epley manuever you are trying to guide the crystals thru the canal and then out. I'm 65 and on medicare thank god. Wished i would have known all this before. 🤪

hi jeff, I truly recommend that you read this book - 64 pages natural vertigo relief : t.co/HoG6GU3MHM?amp=1

24 hours later, this worked! Suddenly developed BPPV after swimming. Getting out of bed, tilting my head to the left or looking down would trigger vertigo. Terrifying! Researched & found this video and decided to try it before bed time because not looking down all day sounded rough. I did the maneuver using my bed (held my own head 45 & 20 degrees down as demonstrated). I was very nauseous afterwards for 45 minutes or so but it subsided & I went to sleep with a neck pillow in an upright position all night. Not great for sleep but I woke up, tested my head and NO VERTIGO! Thrilled it worked and today is my first symptom free day in weeks! I do feel light headed which i attribute to the stiff sleeping position but am happy this really worked! Thanks for this post! So grateful!

[@mericgreat1884]

Thanks, this worked for me! Just like Julie my problem was on the right side. I did the maneuver, but I was so tired from missing sleep so I took a nap after a few hours and slept on my left side. All is still well. Thank you for the precise easy instructions on how to fix my vertigo problem.

[@swarnalatavig7448]

Looks great. Explained very well. Must do this. I have off n on this problem. Thanks a lot Bob n Brad. God bless you.

[@belindahill4568]

I have BPPV and had this manoeuvre done today,I was told not look in any direction at all for 2 days,I was also held in those first 2 positions for 4 minutes each side,maybe it's done differently in England.. *edit..It's almost 2 weeks later and my symptoms are gone,I'm so happy! 5 months of vertigo,gone with something so simple, happy me!

[@stevenjackson2799]

Are the symptoms still gone? I just woke up with this today I tried this at my house on my own but idk I still feel it, it feels like I'm sea sick

[@belindahill4568]

@@stevenjackson2799 yes,I haven't had the symptoms since having the manoeuvre done,vertigo is awful,dont suffer with it,see your doctor asap,I had to wait a while to see the specialist.

[@mm-ni3op]

Thank you

[@gjoy4183]

I also found that after doing the maneuver on my own, that it helps to sleep on the side that is not as much of a problem and helps the crystals move to where they need to be.

[@ATMBelgium]

Did this Epley maneuver yesterday...woow...quit an experience....!. Sitting up again, ending the maneuver, I fell over because of severe dizziness. Lucky for me I did this maneuver on a few pillows on the ground, so I did not fall from very high. A few minutes afterward I already could feel the BPPV was gone. Hope it stays away... Thanks for this movie...!

[@ATMBelgium]

+physicaltherapyvideo Meanwhile I discovered that my vertigo was triggered by a medicament (sleeping pills) called Zolpidem. These pills are also the cause of my nausea. I have to take these because of a severe tinnitus that's keeping me from sleeping.

[@DurdanePearl]

thanks for great video, my mom suffers the same problem (BPPV) , several times I made her doing these exercises but failed, I think after watching your video I could find my mistakes, and now going to do according your videos. Thanks so much, ....lets see results.

[@johnnybloggs2494]

Julia seems like such a sweet lady. I hope she's doing well now. And your videos are awesome guys. Thanks.Although I tried this maneuver on my father. And he had such severe vertigo on turning to his right when I turned him on his side that he sat up & almost threw up. He was sweating a lot & very uncomfortable. I'm taking him to the hospital now after I post this comment.

It works perfectly. My BPPV problem was cured within 5 days. Thanks for the valuable video.

[@baileeedward1081]

Thank you for diagnosing me with BPPD. I went through a lot of medical tests which took two years and no answers. When I saw your program I knew immediately that was the cause. I happened to be in Arizona State when the problem happened again. I am Canadian. I went to a local Physical therapist and told him my story. He did exactly what you demonstrated and it worked! He helped my Husband to to the maneuver and how to do it by myself. Thank you so much.

[@Amy-gp9fh]

I woke up one morning to extreme spinning and then suddenly felt extremely ill. Vertigo made me feel so sick for 2 weeks until my doctor sent me to a physical therapist. She had me do this maneuver twice and the next day I started to feel better. In a few days I was back to my normal self. Vertigo made me feel extremely ill, almost flu like. You may think a maneuver like this won't cure vertigo and is a bit silly but I can say that it cured me 100%.

[@sallyot229]

Amy W is the manoeuvre itself very uncomfortable. I am suffering and am so scared to do this. Please help

[@reneap9049]

This technique fixed me after 5 days of extreme vertigo following tooth implant surgery. What a relief it was, and worked very quickly!

Very Happy to Hear This! My Mother lives with me and is 74 and has "VERTIGO..." its "TERRIBLE!" Going to try this & see how it works...I told her before to keep her head up & don't lose sight of the "HORIZON." Going to try the "NECK BRACE." It's "SO HEARTBREAKING TO WATCH HER SUFFER LIKE THIS!" Thank you for sharing.

Super helpful. Just diagnosed w/BPPV today after my first ever episode yesterday. It was very frightening. My Dr. suggested Epley and this video will really help us at home. Thank you very much.

This helped me a lot! I had Vertigo and I did this exercise last night and this morning I'm completely fine thank you

i did this myself and it worked no more Vertigo now i can help others if they have it thanks guys two thumps up

[@ziva1]

I had it done by an ENT doc twice over 25 years ago. It was a miraculous cure. The only time I would get a little dizzy was when some minor illness like a cold was coming on. Even that rare dizziness eventually went away.

[@juliehurst3846]

I've just had it done

[@terryhughes7349]

This really works. I had the maneuver done and have been symptom free for 2 years. I did 2 sessions just to be safe but was dramatically improved after the first one.

I was recently diagnosed with suspected BPPV. Had very loud continous rushing sound in left ear and became unable to walk with weakness and dizziness. The rushing sound in ear is still there but not as loud as when this episode happened. Didn't know what it was and was taken to hospital to see what it could be and what it was not. Blood pressure spiked too.

[@TroopsofDoom666]

Your blood pressure spiked because of anxiety...you are worry because of the spinning....blood pressure has nothing to do with vertigo...

[@juliehurst3846]

Thanks a million 2 doctors So far this is the best video on virtigo,, I saw and I am going to try it...and this is my E.N.T doctor demonstrated to me....this information is worth millions to me I am from SRI LANKA (tiny Island )

[@94kskater]

This saved me thanks!!

[@susanb1394]

I had terrible vertigo several years ago and the physical therapist did this technique to me. The first time he tipped me back I was dizzy as shit. But after that it got so much better and it cured the vertigo. This technique really works!!

[@liyang3238]

If patients can easily forget to keep their heads up, maybe the doctor's office should think about providing that type of pillow they talked about right at the clinic. It will save patients lots of trouble or so-called non-compliance (which might result from inconsiderate service).

[@dianalopez-el4ks]

When I had BPPV and was finaly sent to physical therapy (PT) I thought what is PT going to solve ? OMG !!! I had to have several PT treatments, but to my suprise it DID dissapear ! I thought I would have to live with being dizzy for the rest of my life. AMAZED that this maneuver worked. Thank you to who ever came up with this !!!

[@learnforevermore]

Dr. Epley came up with this. He was. mocked for his discovery. I praise the Lord that, through persistence and his family's persistence, his maneuver is now being shared throughout the world and saving millions from the misery of vertigo! Read about him. Fascinating!

[@aster48]

It feels awful while the doctor is doing this, and I had to do it two different times, but even after the first one, I felt 85% better afterward. The second one took care of the other 15%. Definitely a case of "it feels so good when it stops". :)

[@kosmovision1]

I suffered from this horrible problem 6 years ago. I did not find no one who helps and I went to see lots of doctors. They ignored my sickness, I could overcome my problem by myself doing exercises. It is sad too sad. Unbelievable.

[@OriginalPai]

4:33 "Don't look down" *hands her glasses and she looks down*

[@evianway]

Great vid. One thing I heard also is when you sit up in the end, to not tilt your head down till the next day. (you can look down w/ your eyes, just do not tilt your head downwards.

[@vincenteo20]

Good vid, newest evidence says that patients can sleep in normal position at night, and they only have to maintain level head position for 20 minutes.

[@nallorlives]

I was wondering. I've been dealing with BPPV recently and my PT didn't tell me anything about not looking down or sleeping upright. Thank you!

[@machine5492]

Ruth Campbell hey do you really have to keep your eyes open the entire time? I think it would be a lot less well horrible if I could just close my eyes as I do this to myself if I have to.

[@nallorlives]

I am no expert, but I don't see why you shouldn't be able to close your eyes. Positioning the head to get those ear crystals sorted has nothing to do with whether your eyes are closed or not. It is easier to tell if you're feeling dizzy with your eyes open, maybe, but it shouldn't make a big difference.

[@machine5492]

Ruth Campbell Okay thanks a ton. The next time I wake up feeling dizzy I will definitely give this a try. I just feel it's easier for when you do get those episodes to close your eyes since the head spinning really messes with what you're trying to look at. Have you had to do this maneuver multiple times?

[@carlosgarcia9561]

Thank you so much for share really value information like this. After performed this maneuver with the help of my brother I am completely recovery and no more vertigo. After a horrible experience for first time with BPPV I am very happy to be healthy again thanks this video. I apply this maneuver only one time, but I took a hole minute in each face.
