Half Somersault Maneuver to Treat BPPV Vertigo

Video demonstrates how the Half-Somersault maneuver is performed to treat POSTERIOR canal BPPV affecting the RIGHT ear (0:35). Animation showing what is going on within the inner ear is also shown in the 2nd half of the video (1:45). This maneuver is considered an alternative to the Epley maneuver and is easier to perform when laying down is not feasible (ie, at work or in public place). Of note, this maneuver was first described by Dr. Carol Foster.

I got vertigo for more 3 weeks. I went to the doctor, she suggested me to do some exercises, she gave me an website so I can do it self. It didn’t help at all. A few days ago, accidentally I found this channel. And I tried right away. MAGIC! I feel good a day later. It’s totally gone. So many thanks to whoever made this video. God bless u!

This truly works!!! I had vertigo and no one could help except doing this excercise. Its been 11 years without vertigo!!!

This video is so helpful in showing how this simple technique is done. The side by side visual graphics also helps to explain what each head and posture movement does, in order to move the calcium crystal out of the inner ear canal. Thank you so much for sharing this. ❤️👍🏼👍🏼

Wow!!
I did the maneuver on my back like most videos show. It amplified my vertigo.
I did this, and it's gone.
Thank you! 😊 🙌

THANK YOU SOO MUCHH! With the help of this I was able to help my dad completely get rid of vertigo. God bless you!

[miriangelvargas]

Two weeks of suffering this terrible symptom, and after this exercise, the vertigo.is gone! Thanks!

[rebeccalvaughan-spencer]

I have used this manoeuvre off and on for many years I seem to get spikes of this particularly if I have salt or alcohol which I have removed from my diet unless I have the occasional crisps which I've just had a massive vertigo spike to the point of filming my eyes twitching side to side this manoeuvre is amazing thank you so much for posting this up I hope it never gets taken down

[tonysandovalrd]

First try this one worked!
I’ve been spinning for 4 days!!!
I can’t believe it.

Cela fonctionne !!! 3 semaines de vertiges et ils sont partis après une manœuvre. Thank toi so much 🥰

[thomasmulroney]

I can't believe how effective and helpful this is. Thank you for your generosity with your time and talent!

This was the only technique that worked for me, it took a lot of trial and error to figure out which tube in my inner ear was having issues but I did this a few times and I swear its now 90% better than it was before.

THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH..
This exercise helps me cope up my vertigo. It's my first time experiencing vertigo and I really wasn't able to fix my vertigo right away so I run to see some exercise on YouTube, found this video, and tried, it works..THANK YOU SO MUCH

[aaronlinsky]

This worked right away and lasted until the morning. I had to do this every morning for a few days but eventually it fixed it permanently. It returned a few years later but this fixed it again.

This video has helped me. I’ve been struggling for two weeks terribly. You can do this several times a day until you can go 2 days without dizziness.

[monbebeami]

This method is the best from me. I've ever tried another method and it made my dizziness getting worse. Thank you so much.

[sophiehanani]

I have had this pain since last week. I'm looking for the medicine. and found this video. thank you doctor. I also just realized that this movement is part of my prayer as a Muslim. I can do this five times a day as my obligation.

[eyesofra]

No other maneuver seems to work for my condition except this one....Did it 2 times yesterday & felt extremely nauseous 🤢 slept for 2 hours & still felt a bit dizzy but a lot better

Now I'm typing this in the morning after a full nights rest, the vertigo is fully gone 🥰

I have had to deal with cystal miss-placement vertigo symptoms for 8+years now, the only thing that will keep me almost free from the symptoms is by performing a version of the 3 steps to move the errant crystals out of the canals. I first learned of the reason for my vertigo attack from the videos from Dr. Foster on YouTube. I perfom the same maneuvers by rolling over the edge of the bed first thing in the morning before standing vertical. Head straight down turned 45 degrees for 60 seconds left for my trouble left ear, then up not quite horizontal still head cocked 45 degrees left for 60 seconds, then sit straight up in bed tuck chin in to chest lean a little forward for 60 seconds. My symptoms stay miniscule then. Hope no one has suffered from this as much as I have. Blessings.

Woke up this morning and everything was falling to the right😮 just completed this exercise and bam! No vertigo. Thank you very much.

[newfreenayshaun]

Ive done a home version of the epley maneuver after many months of not having a solution, i went from 80% disorientation to about 5% within minutes! Im still having issues as i only worked one side, ill be trying this as soon as i get on the floor today. Thank you!
