Physical Therapy & Testing For Vertigo

BPPV, or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, is one of the most common forms of vertigo. If you think you might be suffering from BPPV, here’s a simple at-home test you can take to check your symptoms. Below, learn more about BPPV and its symptoms, causes, and treatment options—including how physical therapy can help.

Plantar Fascia Stretch

Position your foot on an elevated surface, let your foot bear all your weight and drop your heel to the floor. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds, and you will feel the stretch from the bottom of the foot, to the middle of your calf. Repeat this three times, two to three times a day.

Calf Stretch

Place your hands on a wall, with your foot forward, and the affected foot back. Push towards the wall, keeping your calf straight and your heel to the ground. Hold it for 30 seconds, three times, two to three times a day.
