Fix Your Vertigo at Home: Learn the Brandt-Daroff Exercise (Better Than Epley?)

Are you struggling with vertigo or dizziness? The Brandt-Daroff exercise may help you by trying it at home. This simple yet effective exercise can help relieve the symptoms of vertigo by promoting the adaptation of the inner ear to changes in position. Is it better than the Epley Maneuver?

Whether you're dealing with BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) or other forms of vertigo, the Brandt-Daroff exercise may be a useful tool in your treatment toolbox. With regular practice, it can help improve your balance, reduce dizziness and nausea, and increase your overall quality of life.

I woke up dizzy a few years ago. I already knew about the Brandt Daroff exercise, so i did it straight away and it worked. I did the exercise slowly about five times. Everyone should know about this exercise in the event of having vertigo.

[@Steve_K2]

I've been doing these exercises as needed the past five years or so, and they work.

[@TiffanyWhelan-f4l]

Extremely helpful thank you. However - the way the screen 'slides off in one direction' quickly is not helpful, I suggest you have a different type of change between sections.

[@Zero_Zero_Zero_Zero]

Thanks man. Appreciate it. This is a public service.

[@MovementProjectPT]

Thanks Triple Zero!

Happy to help!

After reading the scary results, I'm gonna have to try Epley method.

[@joanseiler9236]

This is all good but what if there's no bed or sofa to use when this happens..I'm lucky to get to a chair.

[@mbj22-e8g]

I started the exercise , the dizziness was insane. I began to get nauseous and threw up. I did around 4 laps couldn’t manage the 5. Now I cannot stop feeling nauseous. I didn't have nausea at all before the exercises. I feel awful help!

[@MovementProjectPT]

Oh no! Be sure to get checked by a professional. Did you try other maneuvers like epley first?

[@harishprasath]

Same for me.. Worsened my vertigo..I think it's not for everyone..

[@thetopgtube]

Ask your dr if it’s BPPV. And you can see an ent. I had it. It’s pretty intense. Also don’t panic cuz it can give you panic attacks as well which happened to me.

[@JoyneFreedom]

Is this video demonstrating relief for pathological left ear vertigo, or relief for pathological right ear vertigo?

[@MovementProjectPT]

BD is "shotgun technique" when you don't know the ear or have tried other things and they didn't work. Watch my Epley video for a more specific technique

[@dollimelaine]

Thank you

[@MovementProjectPT]

I hope it helped!

[@khirtah]

I did simon exercice yesterday, can i do this exercice also ?

[@RichsRantMMAofficialchannel]

How often should I do this? Just while going through symptoms?

[@TINYQUBIT]

I think he said, up to 5.

[@joskilan]

I have cervical fusion C2,3,4 and also a Laminectomy C2,3,4,5,6… is there another method I can try? My mobility is decent considering, but I can’t turn my head fully to the degree needed.

[@MovementProjectPT]

I see this often and it certainly makes it more difficult. I would recommend consulting with a vestibular therapist trained in workign with individuals with neck restrictions.

[@Barbara-jq2se]

I really desire to fix this naturally & not get this dizziness anymore. The chiropractor caused my problem cause I haven’t had this issue for along time, just since my last chiropractor visit where he turned my neck too far to the left & cracked it the 1st time & it wouldn’t budge then he did it again a bit harder & hrs later “dizziness” galore hit me!!! Now I don’t know what to do if I need a spinal alignment again? I don’t want my neck touched physically anymore!

[@cheeryfronteras3195]

This same thing happened to me after I did a thai masaage where she crack my neck. The next day I woke up with vertigo which last 10 days. I went to ent and did the other maneuver but didnt work with me. I went to a neurologist and he introduce me this maneuver and it did magic. Thank you so much!

[@anninujenkins9103]

Thanks it worked!

[@MovementProjectPT]

Great!

What is the best position to sleep during vertigo?

[@MovementProjectPT]

Generally with your head elevated at least 30 degrees

What’s the name of the test to diagnose??

[@MovementProjectPT]

I believe you are referring to the Dix Hallpike Test!

[@johnkmoughan]

@@MovementProjectPT Say it again, louder!!

[@roadrunnercrazy]

What do you mean by "strengthen the inner ear?" It's not a muscle, so how is it getting stronger? I'm trying to understand what this is actually doing.

[@MovementProjectPT]

Think of it like stimulus and response. You are trying to change the threshold at which the inner ear gets overwhelmed. Your central nervous system is what gets "strengthened". Also realize that most muscle strengthening is not the muscle, it's the nervous system

[@michellegrande777]

Is this good for post concussion syndrome?

[@MovementProjectPT]

It could be. Depends on many factors. Be sure to get checked by a professional!

[@KpopAng]

Is it better with pillow or not?

[@novelnova]

With small pillow. :)

[@νάθιν]

when i am doing the brandt-daroff from the left side i feel dizzy when i came up to 90 degrees. what you suggest?

[@MovementProjectPT]

Try slowing it down enough that you don't get dizzy. Wait longer in each position until the dizziness goes away before you try the next position.
