Balance Therapy

Balance therapy

It was an interesting to go balance therapy. Physical Therapist, M is very nice gal - very patience with me :o)

She measured and tested several things. She discovered that I'm having some off balance in some areas - especially at night and in the dark (either in a room or closed eyes). She said to do those exercise daily - 3x a day til next week. Those exercises - kind of weird...

*stand about 3 feet away from "x" (on the wall) and shake head yes for 1 min then no for 1 min. Head movement should be small but quick. - start for 3 days on plain wall, - if "x" remains the same for 3 days move "x" to busdy background.
*wak in hallway with head right for 3 steps then left for 3 steps - switch to head up for 3 steps then down for 3 steps
*stand feet together, arms across chest, eye closed for 30 sec.

that is for the start.

You need to explain it a little better.
What kind of exercise ?
I mean, does she want you to turn all of the lights off and then fondle yourself. what ?

WOW !
I'm gonna try it. Is this supposed to cure the vertigo ?

hotomiky said...

kj- no - it might not cure vertigo... as there is many reasons why people are having vertigo...

when i closed my eyes and stand with arms across chest - i lost balance - physical therapist said if i keep practice and my balance will improve. (a loss or imbalance within the vestibular system)

I dont know if i'm clear... I will ask her more specific next week...
