When you are dizzy, you may feel like everything is spinning around you or you have a lightheaded feeling. It is an unpleasant experience, and as many as 1 in 4 people experience it at some point. Fortunately, dizziness is usually not serious. With targeted movement exercises, you can often effectively reduce the symptoms.
There are different types of dizziness, and treatment is usually non-medicated. It often consists of education and exercises or movements you can do yourself. Only if the dizziness is accompanied by severe nausea and vomiting can medication sometimes be prescribed.
Exercise is an effective remedy for dizziness. But actually going out to exercise under the supervision of a GP or physiotherapist is often difficult. That is why an online training course has been developed that you can simply follow at home: the Vertigo Training.
During this workout, you make the very movements with your head that make you dizzy. By consciously triggering this, your brain learns to readjust. This allows them to better cope with dizziness when it occurs unexpectedly.
The exercises build up step by step. As soon as an exercise no longer makes you dizzy, move on to the next one. This way, you gradually train your body further. Make sure you do the workout in a place where you can easily sit down. The treatment lasts six weeks in total.
For urgent matters that cannot wait until Monday 23 June, please contact one of the acting GPs in Aalsmeer. The arrangement depends on where you live:
