Vestibular (balance) Exercises - how to by Dr Ted Cho Dizziness and Balance Disorders expert

Here is a "How To" video by world-renowned Dizziness and Balance Disorders expert, Dr. Ted Cho
These vestibular exercises are a modified form of the “Cawthorne-Cooksey” exercises. They are targeted towards improving the three components of balance:
1. Visual through various eye tracking exercises
2. Inner ear through eye and head movement exercises (vestibulo-ocular reflex exercises)
3. Postural or proprioceptive through neck and general balancing exercises
These exercises are meant to be part of a progression, so don’t be discouraged if you are unable to perform all of them the first time. The aim of these exercises are to practice eye, head, and body movements that cause dizziness and thus gradually overcome the disability. Dizziness may feel worse initially but should gradually improve as you progress through the exercises. Also, remember that safety is first, and if you feel at risk for falls or injury, stop the exercises immediately.
