Tips to Help Your Vertigo😵‍💫

Hey there!

Dizziness, being lightheaded, or having vertigo can really become a nuisance! Vertigo, unlike the dizziness, actually causes your surroundings to appear as if they are spinning and is created from damaged pathways that coordinate visual and spatial input to the brain that are required to keep your equilibrium.

Thankfully, there are actually some exercises, and stretches that you can do to help improve not only dizziness, but also your vertigo! These techniques are easier to demonstrate then try to explain via text so I created a brief video (about 10 minutes) to show exactly what can be done! 

Vertigo Exercises

I hope that you find these useful if vertigo or even dizziness is something that you find that you experience!

Best,

P.S.

1. Connect with me on YouTube - Subscribe to my Dr. Gretchen YouTube page where you will be able to find MS specific exercises, research updates, guest speakers, and MORE!

2. Join The MSing Link Community - The MSing Link is my online MS wellness program where you'll find video demonstrations and explanations of MS-specific exercises for strengthening, walking, balance, and flexibility. There are also videos for activity-specific movements such as getting into/out of bed or a car, standing up from the ground, sitting down with more control, stair climbing, etc. Since this program focuses on the whole person and not just exercise, we have monthly live guest speakers (ie: neurologists, podiatrists, nutritionists, etc.) and research updates.

3. Work with me privately - I offer wellness consults via Zoom. This is an opportunity for you to share your story with MS and your goals. I'm able to educate you on MS-specific exercises for walking, general mobility, transfers, and day-to-day activities (ie: getting into/out of a car, stair climbing, etc.). You can schedule a one-time call or you can schedule recurring calls - your choice. Oftentimes, people will schedule one of these calls prior to joining The MSing Link and/or one call every couple of months. Schedule here
