The brain retrains new movement-related signal patterns so that head and body motions no longer trigger dizziness. Exercises deliberately provoke dizziness early on, typically easing within weeks, and may require 1–2 months for noticeable improvement.

The symptoms can range from feeling dizzy for days, weeks or months to feeling dizzy for a split-second when turning quickly.  \nOver time, these symptoms typically become less severe, as the brain re-learns the new functioning level of the balance system.  \nFor normal balance we rely on the inner ears ’ balance organs (one in the right ear and one in the left ear) to send signals to the brain when we move. Fluid in 3 semicircular canals in each ear (arranged in the 3 dimensions of space) move as our head moves, triggering movement in hair cells to send signals to the brain about where our head is in space. The purpose of these semicircular canals is mainly to stabilize the eyes, so that we can keep our vision stable when we move our head. There are other organs in the inner ear that sense gravity and linear movement. These inner ear organs work in unison.  \nA problem (perhaps a viral infection or a blood clot reducing the function of one ear’s balance system) results in reduced signals from this affected ear, but normal signals coming from the ‘good ear’. When the brain receives these signals they are out of balance we experience “dizziness”.  \nVestibular rehabilitation allows the brain to learn the new pattern of signals when we move. Once these patterns are learnt, then movements should not cause dizziness.  \nSymptoms of dizziness become less during vestibular rehabilitation as a consequence of the brain relearning the patterns of signals coming from the inner ears. The original problem which caused the dizziness often does not itself get better but as the brain relearns the new signals we stop feeling dizzy when we move. In some people, vestibular rehabilitation happens naturally, but for most people, specific exercises can help this process to happen faster and further, than otherwise it would.  \nThe principle behind the exercises is to provide the brain with repetitive sets of signals from the inner ears produced by head and body movements, so that the brain can learn these new signals. Until these new signals are learnt by the brain, the exercises will cause dizziness.  \nIt is important that the exercises provoke dizziness otherwise no improvement happens. This means that when you start vestibular exercises you might feel more dizzy than you do now. This is expected, and does not mean that you are doing yourself harm. This period usually lasts 2-3 weeks, and it is important not to give up. Like running a marathon, if you run for 30 seconds, and feel fine, you are no fitter and no nearer to becoming able to run the marathon!  \nYou should start at the beginning of the exercise programme doing as many as you can in 20 minutes. Some of the exercises might not provoke dizziness. If an exercise does not cause dizziness you should move on to the next exercise.  \nDon’t worry if you seem to be stuck at an exercise for a week or more. Progress can be fast or slow, and it may be 1-2 months before you notice the improvement. Vestibular rehabilitation exercises are an aid to recovery and you should do them alongside an increase in your daily activities.  \nG Kelly, ENT surgeon [www.LeedsENT.com](www.LeedsENT.com)  \nOne of the best ways of helping your balance system is to do regular walks. For some people this might be a short distance at first with someone holding an arm, but you should always be looking to progress further. Remember to be patient during these next few months. Progress will be slower than you want. Don’t be disheartened by this and don’t allow yourself to get bored with the exercises—invent your own if you do. Remember that moving your head around is an important aspect of the exercises (so if you go for a walk, then you need to move your head around when you walk) and running on a treadmill or cycling is of limited value if you are no","cbCainQvXfc1VZzo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainQvXfc1VZzo","pdf",83142,"English","# Vestibular (Balance) Rehabilitation\n## How the vestibular system works\n## Why rehabilitation reduces dizziness\n## Exercise principles and progression\n## Daily routine guidance\n## Exercises: SACCADES\n## Exercises: TARGETS","[{\"question\":\"What causes dizziness in vestibular problems?\",\"answer\":\"Dizziness occurs when the brain receives unbalanced signals, often because one inner ear sends reduced balance information while the other ear’s signals remain normal.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do vestibular exercises initially make dizziness worse?\",\"answer\":\"The exercises are designed to provoke dizziness until the brain learns the new signal patterns.
