Thanks Doc for your help.
THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION ABOUT DIZZINESS
Beautiful and its for all ages. Nothing to fear attempting from the comfort of your home.Thank you ❤😊
thank you doctor, after watching several complex exercise videos, nothing works, but one simple first exercise itself i felt that relief. great work doctor , thank you so much
Finally. An explanation for the dizziness I feel. Posture. My neck leans forward quite a bit, almost like I have a hump on my back. After trying your exercises I feeL like I can finally cure myself through repetition of them. I also tried a friends inversion table and felt immediate relief.
same my neck leans forward and it feels sleepy and had panic attacks for the last 2 weeks where I felt dizzy and now I realise it could be the posture too and im not really sitting , always lying down on a chair unless I have my dinner /lunch but ll lie down while having my breakfast and maybe that's bad.
Thank you for these reminders!
Glad to help. Hope you are well!
Thank you for sharing this video. It's concise and has really useful information. Could you share a link for the phsioband you used at the end? As someone who suffers from dizziness, I think the music make it more difficult to fully attend to. I would have preferred to see your presentation without having my brain take in the music as well.
Tried many things for many years to help with this awful feeling of tightening neck muscles, pain, panic, and the feeling that I'm about to faint. This short straight to the point vidio has helped me a lot. Thank you.
So glad to hear that!
Do you know if you clinch your teeth and or flex your neck in your sleep? Like. Lift your head or press into the pillow?
What specifically has helped you? Thank you in advance
Weight training has helped this feeling for me!
this is helpful information and I appreciate it so much!
Glad to help. Best of luck!
Crazy how low B12 can cause dizziness. I took Vitamin 12 via injection and it did wonders for me
Low iron too
no gallblader too
How many shots you took ? I have taken 3 shots and yet have Lil dizziness. Just want to know when did you feel good ?
@@ananth2527
I took 6. It took me about a little over a month to start feeling normal again. It’s a process, but you’ll get there.
@@gonzaloarroyo3579 thank you very much
Thank you, Thank you, Thank You, Marrow!!! I have been suffering w/dizziness for at least 2 hrs. It became much worse after a very bad manipulation from a chiro..I stopped seeing him & found another 6 mos. later. She began working on my neck, and now I have dizziness again! Today at the point of listing way to my right..no spinning just dizziness in my head & eyes. Seems like they are working together against me!😱. I immediately tried your exercises, and, voila’! I’m feeling much improvement! Thank you! I will follow your advice! ❤❤❤
Fantastic news...your story just made my day!
Thank you!
My pleasure!
Going to give this a try
Let me know how it works out!
This is excellent! I dont have dizziness but i have been lying in bed too much due to a knee injury. Im just beginning to work on walking more and exercising. I'll add your exercises to my routine.
Best of luck and thanks for commenting!
MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON ALL HIS CHILDREN TO GIVE US HEALTHY HEALTH WITH LONGLIVES AMEN SHALOM
Thanks from an Aussie 🇦🇺 in Tx
Glad to help from an American trained by Aussies!
Informative. I have started to feel better while putting my hand on my head as an external load
Great news. Best of luck!
Wouldn’t it be better if you can video the movement instead of showing a picture with arrows only ?
Please stop putting music while you talk
A quick question: I have mild dizziness I think related to my neck problems (bulges and herniatet disks). I do feel some knots coming and going around my neck which would feel tender when they are there.. Is that normal? Also, do you think doing these exercises and others will totally heal the dizziness in time? In other words, as long as I have disk problems (which may me for life), will I get totally out of dizziness? Thanks.
wow.. this is amazing.. My headache, dizziness, everything is gone.. thank you Dr!!
Fantastic news! Thanks for sharing. Best of luck!
Dr. THX for this iNfo. Your description of Cervicogenic conditions of dizziness is solid, but even a little short of what Cervical Instabilities can do to your entire body. I have CI (C3-C7 and T1-T2 disc issues and DDD with Facet Joint arthritis and a Military Neck (loss of the curve). CI can not only cause Dizziness, Imbalance, Vertigo, but Tinnitus, Chronic Sinusitis, ear & eye pains, even in some doctors' opinions: IBS , Chest Pains , and Bladder / Bowel Incontinence. The upper Cervical discs as you know, allow for the channel of he Vagus Nerve(s) - thear are 2 - 1 on each side. The Vagus Nerve is The Motherlode of all Cranial Nerves affecting the entire parasympathetic autinomic Nervous system. I'm no doctor , however after mnay years of research seeking Relief from my spinal maladies including Fibromyalgia. These exercises are very good and fortify waht I have learned as well. I will subscribe.
Thanks for your feedback! Best of wishes.
I would suggest never going to Caring Medical for their prolo therapy. Only mentioning because your comment sounded like it came from that company.
I have never heard of either. Not sure. Thanks for watching!
@@physiotipswithmarrow5836 I was referring to the other comment about CI. Not yours. :) Also- GREAT video, I started these right after watching. 👏
@@user-zk8ck3my3lToo funny...that makes sense!
Thanks I will try it
All the best
Thanks for this. After training with moderate axial load, do you recommend incorporating moderate axial load with head turns? Seems like a way to further strengthen the neck, once enough strength and pain reduction as already been achieved.
Great idea and I have incorporated that with my patients. Go for it!
Sir showed nice tips for dizziness
Thanks for watching!
Many thanks for sharing the best knowledge. Hi I am Ajay a fitness expert, my family members are shocked after knowing that I am having a dizziness issue. I am so particular with my diet and exercise, still I have landed up with this, please suggest actually my job is to train people with group classes and all. What all precautions should I take.
Best Regards
Liliana wants everyone to know that she hopes this video really helps!
Also anxiety can cause dizziness
Thankyou for the video! I tried to find the device used at the end, but I could only find just the bands. Is it necessary to have some kind of attachment that sits on the head? Or is just a band with the end straps enough?
Thank you Marrow! What modality do you most recommend for manual therapy relieving the tension from an active neck strain coinciding with cervicogenic vertigo/dizziness? I.e. spinal manipulation, tissue mobilization? I'm doing exercises in addition, but I know from regular use of a lacrosse ball and activity, it's still difficult to get the cervical restrictions on my own. I'm hopeful manual could help when it comes to the bedtime pillow pressure on my occiput that seems to recreate symptoms bc everything is guarding right now. Let me know, trying to stay safe as I have a C7-T1 disk bulge to protect as well! Thank you
I am a big fan of Maitland style manual therapy or Mulligan manual therapy. Research is very strong from Gwen Jull style exercises for cervicogenic headache/dizziness reduction. Best of luck!
Going to give this a try I've been suffering with dizziness/Balance since October 2021 crippling feeling. Just tries it seems to take pressure off my neck but causes tightness in my upper back and also a goosebump sensation around my shoulders and head
Keep me posted if this helps. Best of luck!
Did you have an injury at that time? I started feeling the goose bump sensation during lockdown from all the computer work. I found some relief by stretching and strengthening the deep flexor muscles. Unfortunately, i was injured by a chiropractor 6 months ago and am struggling with vertigo and headaches.
Well it all started whilst playing badminton, I been playing for 10years.since October 6th 2021 I've never been the same.
@@bigmano4334 try checking out videos on cervical stability exercises. I have wondered if i over stretch some of my neck muscles and make them too loose. Also, make sure your work station (if you work an office job) is set up properly. That can make a big difference for me.
My wife was dx with cervicogenic dizziness 6 months ago. She has done PT and all these exercises. No help, we now know she has pppd there is no quick fix for this. It's quite common and often mis diagnosed. Symptoms are woozyness, made worse by walking thru the grocery store etc. It's not spinning vertigo more a constant feeling of spaced out and made worse by walking in busy visual areas as mentioned. If you have this research and find the right help. Many people suffer for years before they figure it out.
Sorry to hear about your wife. Will keep your family in my prayers. Best of luck!
What is pppd?
@@Salty4Reel Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: BPPV. Hope that helps!
I have pppd it’s a horrid thing but it can be fixed with vrt exercises and getting anxiety under control

Do you mean BPPV?
Hello,I am getting some kind of sound while moving the neck.few times
Are these excercises will help to stop that sound??
Hi doc my peoblem is my dizziness and my ears lost hearing pls let me know how to cure my ears
I have ear imbalance do to a fall in the edge of a tub.i have the esr imbalance for one year i have taken pt my dizziness stop, but the rocky feeling inbalance con't.
Very well explained. But I didn't understand what to do after putting hands on our head
You can apply a gentle compressive force through the top of the head via your hands. This could also be achieved via a small bag of rice or beans.
i have dizzeness and neck pain to shoulder and upper back pain
Hey sir actually whenever i use elevators in tall buildings whenever it rides it's ok for me....but when it stops or start it makes my lower head a lot of pain and heaviness and obviously dizziness I'm an hospitality student I'm in stress about thinking these things that's why i never even tried plane ride tho
اني هم نفس الشي ما السبب اخي الغالي
Is this different than chin tucks?
How long does it usually take to heal? I’ve been suffering with dizziness and pain for a month now. Just saw your video, I’m going to try the exercises (starting today). Thanks for posting this.
Most people will see some signs of relief after training 3-6 wks. Wish you the best!
@@physiotipswithmarrow5836 thanks so much for the reply. Your exercises seem to make the most sense to me. I’ve tried several stretches that I feel like will sometimes make things worse. Stuff like turning my head to the side or bringing the side of my head towards the shoulder. I might’ve just pushed those too hard though. So I haven’t been doing those as frequently.
I read where someone said they didn’t sleep with a pillow and used a rolled up towel under their neck. Would you recommend this?
@@mangybones Side sleepers often need a medium firm pillow, back sleepers usually softer pillows. Always looking for a neutral neck posture when sleeping.
@@physiotipswithmarrow5836 Thank you so much! I have 1 more question: would you recommend ice, heat, switching between both, or none of the above?
I’ve been doing your stretching method today. Already feeling a bit of relief. Thanks again.
Have you tried Vitamin B12? That really helped me with
Y dizziness
When you talk about pressure on the head can putting your hair in a pony tail be an example of this? Putting my hair up helps with the pain
That is quite possible. Thanks for sharing! Best of luck!
What do I do, if those exercises, or whenever I "Correct" my posture, hurts my lower back?
I would back off and make sure your posture is less stiff. If it continues to hurt...discontinue would be in order. Hope that helps!
Ok, thank you.
Mr Burnette may I ask why my responses to a person regarding where they might seek medical help for their condition in their country of residence have been removed? I understand you have a business to run and the information you post here is important, however not everyone lives in Florida or the USA? So when a fellow countryman of mine reaches out to me and I direct them to a local university that has a dizzy program I find that my replies to him have been repeatedly deleted. Why?
To be honest I have no idea. I don't even know how to remove a post or if that is possible. I just put up information to help as many people as possible. Sorry about this issue! Best of wishes
@@physiotipswithmarrow5836 ok Marrow, then I find that very strange? I'm sure you realize that the replies I posted were regarding PPPD which is what the person was asking about. I was merely trying to direct them to local resources as it is a particularly difficult condition to have and many people suffer for years before getting a correct diagnosis including my wife who was incorrectly diagnosed with cervocogenic dizziness by a local renowned audiologist. The diagnosis of PPPD is actually quite simple based on clinical presentation and history. Maybe you could consider doing a video on that? Do you treat PPPD at your PT practise in Florida?
@@capodad2u I have not but i will look into this.
@@physiotipswithmarrow5836 that would be awesome ! I realize your specialty is orthopedic related physical therapy but I notice that you do treat BPPV and cervocogenic dizziness at your clinic which yes technically are orthopedic or positional in nature.
So while a part of your practice and some of your videos relate to dizziness caused by those 2 conditions there are other conditions that cause dizziness such as PPPD (which interestingly is sometimes the long term result of whiplash injuries). The problem for patients is often what Dr they see GP, ENT, Neurologist, Audiologist, Chiropractor? It's a frustrating process fortunately for my wife after she began treatment with a knowledgeable PT she realized after several sessions that it might be PPPD and not cervocogenic dizziness. She was correct.
What is a 1mm lift of the head? To me lifting is straight up, you mean a slight tilt forward? And why 1mm? How are we supposed to know if we tilted or "lifted" 1mm or 2mm or even 5mm? I'm confused 😕
Hi Gabzsy,
Your comment made me laugh out loud. I totally agree that sometimes in medical circles we can give confusing cues. The occiput lift exercise can also be described as a very slight lowering of your chin so that your head is now neutral. This takes stress of the back of the head and encourages your deep neck muscles to provide support to your spine. Hope that helps!
Maybe 1 cm or 1 inch or even “the width of your pinky” would work for clarity? Thanks for the tips!
I don't understand the first exercise. The picture is
Too stationary and would be easier if you showed side view if yourself doing the exercise
Is cervicogenic dizziness room spinning dizziness? Or woozy dizziness that happens with head or body movement?
I think it can be both, first in worse condition
Good afternoon, I DONT Abe pain in my neck I do bet headaches I have a lesion on one side of my brain which is causing my !ight headedness every single day for the last past year.this is the first time I see these excerices I am going to start doing the.. I have been to therapy for Vestibular disorder as mistaken as Crystals in my ear, I DONT have crystals in my ears but I was treated for that. 5 years later which brings me to today I find out I was getting the wrong therapy. Now I have to start from scratch.😱😱😱
I am also having same problem can you pls tell me what exercises you are going to do
Thanks
My pleasure. Hope this video does some good.
Sudarshan kriya taught in the basic course of the Art of Living foundation of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar will work wonders
My dizziness is due to URTI making my muscles soft. Have tough muscles due to hard word during growing age.
The first time I tried the occipital lift - dizzzy dizzzy . . . . is this normal?
If the muscles at the base of the head are very tight, performing this posture could be provocative. You may need a professional to help stretch out your sub occipital muscles first. Hope that helps! Best of luck.
When I do occipital lift, I feel more tension in my neck. Is it okay ?
This can happen if the muscles in the back of the neck near the top (C1-3) are top. These muscles are referred to as the sub occipital muscles. I would not recommend pushing into discomfort as this could be counter productive. Visiting a physiotherapist to relieve this neck tension first could be helpful. Best wishes!
@@physiotipswithmarrow5836 Thanks for the information. Physiotherapists here don't explain the way you do.
FYI I am suffering from this problem for past 3 years. Have not recovered yet
Glad to help and best of wishes.
the upside down position
where your whole body weight be on the head and neck .
Is that Axial load??
Great question. Axial load is where you would be carrying something on your head. Upside down would unload the spine, like bed rest. This lead to spinal weakness and problems. Hope that helped and thanks for watching.
I took also and l am going to take them until my Dr . says so ..
I have 2 bulging disks on my neck do from an accident so I suffer with Vertigo
OK - I have had a serious C5 denegeration issue since my teens due to a very serious accident. I just did the first exercise, and the pain came instantly into that area of my neck. I had to stop immediately. I suffer from severe vestibular migraines - hence my visit here. Your opinion on whats going on for me with the sudden pain? I avoid pain in that area like the plague as I have been immobile (zero movement of neck) for up to a month when I get a serious twinge. Tx.
I would get with a good orthopedic manual therapist in your neck of the woods. The right exercises (you may need lots of modifications) and manual therapy could help tremendously. Best of luck!
@@physiotipswithmarrow5836 good advice - thank you very much. All the best...
Can I do these exercises with my fused neck?
Yes, just go light and make sure they are pain free. Very light load is all that is needed most times. Good luck!
How can I know for sure that this is what’s causing my dizziness? I was tested years ago & told I have an inner ear dysfunction but wasn’t told how to deal with it. Lately the dizziness has been worse & I am afraid to drive like this. Any thoughts to point me in a direction for help? Thank you.
Find a good physio in your town with orthopedic manual therapy experience. You have given me a good idea for an upcoming video. Hang in there. Best Wishes.
@@physiotipswithmarrow5836 thank you so much!
@@lynnmiller5034 Glad to help!
I’m sorry Marrow but that music just drives me crazy!! It goes over and over the same notes endlessly and I find myself not being able to concentrate on what you’re saying. Isn’t there some other music you could find that is a little less distracting? I’m afraid that if this music is constantly played I won’t be able to keep watching, and that would be such a shame as you have some great things to say. Shelley from Australia 🙏👏
I was a rookie video maker at that time. Sorry, newer videos have no music. I majored in PT and clearly did not minor in videography. LOL
Hey Marrow, if you kill the background music you'd be much better to understand.
Thanks for your feedback and for watching.
i have dizziness doc but i undergo to a ct scan, ent but i cannot found on those test may i have imbalance i wear a glass but the same i feel imbalance or lightheadedness plss help me🙏🙏
Check out this video and give the exercises a try. Make sure the exercises do not cause dizziness or pain. ua-cam.com/video/D2MbNALqutw/v-deo.html Hope that helps and good luck!
You might have pppd? Google it.
I have been in hell for the last 5 years,i think this video is among the best hopefully i can find a way to do the last exercise as i think its very beneficial as i did similar with a weight and towel on my head,but it was hard to do and tiring
Start light and make sure it is pain free. A small bag of rice works great. Best of luck!

What is pppd?
BPPV is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. This a disorder where you have brief, severe, vertigo that usually lasts for approx. 30 sec. Hope that helps!
Persistent postural perceptual dizziness. Completely different from BPPV. Google pppd.
@@physiotipswithmarrow5836 please stop missinforming people that PPPD is BPPV.🤦
@@capodad2u My apologies, I thought you misunderstood my words in the video. In the video, I never address PPPD. I only speak about BPPV. Sorry for the confusion.
@@physiotipswithmarrow5836 no worries, confused a lot of people tho. Wish it was bppv that's an easy fix. PPPD is a nightmare and difficult to treat, can take years. The gold standard of treatment (VRT, SSRI,CBT) doesn't help too much for most. Virtual reality visual stimulation (optokinetics) seems to help many.
I starting taking Magnesium & my vertigo disappeared immediately
What brand and mg?
i am suffering aftet gallblader surgery
Same as me

V nice
Move 1 mm ? That seems like a very small movement
I wished the exercises would be a bit clearer to understand, specially on the lady, have cervical problem but couldn’t get a lot out of theses exercises

Do u know what I can do with a metal neck? PT says don't do youtubes. This can't hurt correct? I love exercise, I workout, but can't like this! Ugh! Great info. ❤ oops, C3-7 metal. My brain is burning...
If your fusion surgery is older than 3 months you maybe fine with these exercises. Go easy and discontinue if they bother you.
So this is a disability I got from watching my phone or this tablet too much!? While practicing bad posture!? 🤕
Not enough information to make that assumption. However, pain in the upper neck can make a person dizzy and give headaches. Check out this link from a respected doctor that is an expert on this subject dizziness-and-balance.com/disorders/central/cervical/cervical_dx.html
No music please!
This seems a gentle way to get neck traction as compared to external mechanical means. Hmm.. I am visiting the chiro tomrw and will have to look into this. Cheers, nice video.
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching, Cheers!
I think your advocating a chin tuck back while in good posture. This would actually lift your neck up a bit.
English researcher Deb Fallah found this posture to active the cervical spine core muscles which stabilize our necks. Thanks for watching!
Putting a surfboard on your head if you have neck instability? I don't see how that is a good idea.
Great question. The principle of axial load to the spine when in pain could seem paradoxical for sure. Weightbearing for a broken leg also seems like a bad idea at first but to eventually rehab a leg we have to add in weight bearing AT THE RIGHT TIME. For neck pain, gently adding weightbearing will activate the protective muscles and deactivate tight muscles. The weightbearing must be gentle and pain free to be a good idea. Thanks for watching and for asking such an insightful question. Best of luck!
"My sister is 32 years old and she has suffered from meniere disease for years and she always complains to me that I had to bought her Dr Madida herbs I saw on UA-cam and she is telling me last month that she is cured completely and don’t long have the symptoms like vertigo or dizziness, feeling of fullness in the ear or ringing, hearing loss, imbalance, motion sickness, nausea, or nystagmus..."
Please tell me the exact herb name
Dr.Mandell ,you can watch his videos here in UA-cam. The herb is Ginkgo Biloba. I took 3 times a day for few months and my tinnitus didn’t disappear or my dizziness. Only vestibular therapy helped me. I have to do full body stretchs every day to feel better and no having vertigo attacks or feeling dizzy . Hope this help you.
It takes almost 12 minutes to explain 2 minutes exercises!
cant hear over the music
The OF exercise made me dizzy.
If it makes you feel dizzy discontinue. I would recommend finding a certified manual therapist in your neighborhood to help.

Browse the channel for easier to understand exercises. If this still doesn't help, I would recommend finding a physiotherapist in your neighborhood that specializes in cervicogenic dizziness.
This music is so terrible. What is
the use?
Noted. Sorry.
Please...why the droning "music" ? It is beyond annoying, because I can't hear what you're saying. What is the point of it?
Simple answer, i was a rookie video maker. My apologies.
In the hope this comment will help push your channel but I couldn’t watch the video. Over production, annoying background sound and volume. This was a medical topic which didn’t warrant that. Probably we found the video because we were needing relief. The last thing I was wanting was cute kid and irritating percussions.
Your not showing it clearly
Does sleeping without pillows help my neck ?
The pillow can be a great friend when sleeping. If you are a side sleeper you will probably want a medium firm, if back sleeping something softer. I definitely prefer a pillow for neutral spine positioning.
Thanks for your video but I really struggled to listen to it....Please ditch the piano in the background, people usually come to videos like this because they don't feel well, and and straining to hear you talk is not helping things....Regards
Ignore all safety protocols I would sue
Forgive me but personally I would drop Liliana
Didnt understand anything at all. Very complicate video.
Sorry about that. Wish you well
You are a catastrophy.!
