When you feel dizzy, you can try specific head and body movements while walking to potentially alleviate the symptoms. These movements are often used in vestibular rehabilitation exercises.
Here's a breakdown of techniques:
-
Head Turns: Walk forward about 15 meters (approximately 50 feet), alternating head turns to the left and right with each step. Focus on a point in the distance to help maintain balance.
-
Head Nods: Walk forward about 15 meters (approximately 50 feet), moving your head up and down as if nodding "yes" with each step.
-
Head Tipping: Walk forward about 15 meters (approximately 50 feet), tipping your head from side to side, bringing your ear toward your shoulder with each step.
These exercises can help your brain adapt to the signals it's receiving and reduce the sensation of dizziness. If dizziness persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional. It could be a symptom of an underlying medical condition.
