having suffered from bad dizziness and vertigo recently i have been
trying to take balance, dizziness exercises everday 3 times a day in
the hope of remedying my dizziness. I was wondering what exercise
would be best for a specific situation. Whenever i go into a shop and
look at the shelf, eitheir directly facing me or looking up, i feel
very disorinentated. Similarly, if im in a group of people (sitting or
standing ) and i have to look around i feel the same. what exercise
would be best practicised to try and compensate for this ??? any ideas ?

How about the advice from the NHS doctors at UK, which is supposed to
be the best in the world according to Ben?

Try any of the exercises at

Can you become aware of any tension in the neck/shoulder muscles?
Are you hunched up?
Do you spend your day in a hunched shoulder position?

There are some physical therapists that specialize in
vestibular rehabilitation. You might want to try to get
a referral from your ENT (if you have one). Your
primary care physician may not be aware of this
specialty within physical therapy.
