The Natural Vertigo and Dizziness Relief Exercise Program – By Christian Goodman
I’m not going to waste your time with lots of reading. You’re probably anxious to get rid of your pain, so let me get straight to the point.
This program is split into 4 parts:
- Neck release exercises
- Head exercises
- Neck and shoulders exercises
- Tension removal exercises
You don’t have to push yourself to do all the exercises in the program. The most important parts are parts 1 (neck release exercises) and part 2 (head exercises).
These exercises focus on releasing tension from the muscles around the neck and ears. This increases the blood flow up to the head, releases any squeezed nerves, and frees the balance system in the ears.
These exercises will put absolutely no strain on the neck, so there’s no discomfort and there is no danger of harming anything, even if your vertigo is caused by a neck accident.
The neck and shoulders exercises (part 3) are very refreshing and pump fresh oxygen into the neck and shoulders and up to the head. If you’ve had a neck accident, however, you should not practice this part.
The exercises in part 4 are very good in getting rid of both emotional and physical tension, which are very common causes of vertigo and dizziness. Practicing these exercises makes you feel better and makes the other exercises work better too.
The program helped everyone who gave it a good try. Only those who gave up too early failed to treat their vertigo and dizziness. So I’m convinced it will work for you, too.
