Vertigo training

Introduction

Various disorders of the human balance organ cause dizziness symptoms. Dizziness training is intended to counteract this by training our organs of equilibrium. Dizziness training can alleviate and in some cases even shorten the symptoms.

In addition to balance and coordination, blood circulation, respiration and caution are promoted. Furthermore, the dizziness training can be supplemented with a relaxation program. The human brain is not a rigid structure of cells, but has the ability to react to external stimuli and rebuild brain structures accordingly.

This correlation can also be observed in the cerebellum and the sense of balance. Regular balance exercises promote a learning process that helps the cerebellum to differentiate between correct and incorrect information about balance. This process is called habituation and lasts from weeks to months.

Depending on age, the learning process is slower or faster. The training is independent of the trigger of dizziness and should be started as soon as the person concerned can sit up straight. Especially at the beginning of the training, a short-term increase of the symptoms is observed. The intake of medication takes a back seat when the exercises are performed and is only recommended in the event of nausea and vomiting.

Reasons to do a vertigo training

The reasons for doing vertigo training are extremely diverse, because generally speaking, everyone can benefit from vertigo training. One group, to which the vertigo training is specifically geared, are of course people who are currently suffering from vertigo. It does not matter whether the dizziness is only occasional or permanent.

The severity of the dizziness is also unimportant at first. The vertigo training can be done for both swaying and spinning vertigo. Persons who suffer only slightly from vertigo benefit from vertigo training just as much as those who are severely restricted in their everyday life due to vertigo.

The more severe the burden of vertigo is for an individual person, the more likely vertigo training is to be recommended. For example, anyone who has to take sick leave because of vertigo should undergo vertigo training. Also those who tire more quickly due to the dizziness will gain positive experiences from vertigo training.

But vertigo training is not only suitable for people with vertigo. Especially with increasing age, the ability to coordinate and balance also decreases. Since these aspects are treated in vertigo training, anyone who feels insecure on their legs can take part in such training.
