Since suffering from BPPV, otolithiasis, dizziness has been going back and forth. Sometimes there are nausea. However, it doesn’t put too much stress on daily life or work, but it’s still not clear and it feels dazed. In some cases, the sequela of vestibular problems are suffered in this way, as there may be symptoms of decreased vestibular hypo-dysfunction. In this case, implementing rehabilitation exercise methods that enhance these balancing functions helps to recover quickly. Today’s posting will introduce a rehabilitation exercise that can improve the vestibular function for those who feel the aftereffects of dizziness like me. First of all, these exercises should be do 20 to 30 times a day, 2-3 sets a day, for at least three weeks.
