"Balance & Fall Prevention" Workshop (full replay)
***Feel free to skip to 11:15 in the video if you'd like to skip the beginning, where I ask the participants to introduce themselves and tell us about their concerns with falls, as well as any previous falls they've already had.
During this workshop, which I recorded on 6-13-24, we detailed information to help people improve their balance and reduce the likelihood of having a fall.
Here are the main topics we covered:
- The "downward spiral" of having a fall: how one fall can change the course of your life
- The 3 steps to maintaining balance and preventing a fall
- The "3 Balance Systems" you use to sense your balance
- 4 other key factors that affect your balance
- A brief discussion of BPPV, the most common cause of vertigo
- Our 2-step approach to help people figure out the root cause(s) of their poor balance and how to select the best balance exercises and interventions
If you'd like to take a deep dive to learn more about your balance (and how to improve this), this should be an excellent resource!
I hope you enjoy it :-)

If you've had BPPV before, you'll want to do everything you can to keep it from coming back!

    I have supra and infra spinatus tendonosis, I accepted the shot and was able to sleep without pain "most of the night" not all of the night... Why do you say stay away from the injection? does it cause cancer or something? I hate letting anyone inject anything into me, but with the pain at night, im like GIVE IT TO ME.... anyways, I dont know how I got this condition, was doing side posture adjusting and felt a little pain, nothing significant, then weeks later ROM is reduced and any kind of fast movements with my right arm would cause a sharp pain (like I hit my finger with a hamer, but the pain was in my shoulder) where i had to run around holding my shoulder, where my body locked my arm against my body, cursing and yelling for 5-10 min then the pain would go away.... had to figure out how to not use my right arm for anything, 1 arm driving, cant pull the covers at night with my right, cant sleep on right side, cant shower with both arms, go to the bathroom with my left and so on... was difficult to try to rehab this....

    What kind of injections are you referring to? ESI's or PRP? Have bursitis in hip and swelling in L5. PT has helped. Had achy sore pain in groin, down front and back of leg, hip and back and butt. Few months ago, every step hurt but PT helped. Pain going down leg premuch controlled but pain still in groin, hip back and butt. Continuing with PT to manage it and hope don't need injections. Thought it was sciatica but PT had me do couple stretches and she said I would've jump off table if sciatica which I didn't. She's thinking it's muscle pain, i.e. tightness versus nerve pain.

    My eyes always move horizontally to the left. If I lay with my right ear down, the vertigo is more intense but my eyes move horizontally to the left. Once I lay with my left ear down, my eyes still twitch to the left but the vertigo is not as intense. Slightly confused here. I believe my left ear is the affected ear.

    Is it possible to have only horizontal canal bppv? I have been suffering for going on 6 months now. I've had 5 episodes of vertigo, 4 episodes within a couple months, and another this morning, all presenting with horizontal nystagmus that comes on when turning to my side in bed. Supine and dix-halpike tests always show horizontal nystagmus on the rights side. The strange thing is, I have alot of neck issues that started at the same time. Pain and pressure that started in the right occipital area, and now have pain, stiffness; burning and itching sensations in my neck, and numbness focussed around my right ear into my right occipital, head and down my neck. I'm at a loss and have been to multiple ER's throughout the state of Michigan, and even made a trip to Mayo clinic in Minnesota a couple weeks ago to rile out Neurological possibilities. Any help or info you could give would be greatly appreciated, as I'm reaching the end of my rope.

    Was doing great, but 4 days post surgery tripped 4 days on my walker and strained/tore MCL. Knee and entire leg swelled 6 centimeters and extensive bruising resulted. Now in brace for 2 weeks to be worn whenever I am out of bed. Balancing PT without hurting that part of my knee an obstacle. I am 13 days out from surgery now. It is resolving, but all this has has prevented me from consistent attempts at bending. So wish I would have seen this before hand and done a lot more research. Thanks for video. If you have any advice would love to hear.

    After a year an a half I finally got better after getting long covid the first time. I contracted covid again in March, now I have long covid again but the vertigo is now daily, I feel like I'm on a boat when I'm sitting still, I'm constantly trying not to be sick. I wake up with a headache, neck ache every morning, brain fog, post exertional malaise and fatigue, sometimes chronic migraines. I'm sick of this disease! I've had to give up being a mountain leader for now. I'm also in university in September and I'm dreading trying to study with this.

    Thank you for the video. PLEASE HELP ME! I've been dealing with sciatic pain for over four years now. It started basically around the time of the pandemic. Because I couldn't get proper treatment at the time, it kind of stayed with me and got worse. Now the recovery is very slow. I've tried everything except injection and surgery. The doctors say that it's a very mild case of disc slippage on my L5 and L4, and there is no way they're going to do surgery on me. I've tried acupuncture, physical therapy, medications, chiropractic lots of other things for YEARS, and everything works except only temporarily. The best thing that has worked for me has been progressive exercises. But the problem is the recovery phase is very slow. For example, I've been doing them non-stop for the past six months, and while I have seen improvements, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have these limitations for at least another six months or so. Limitations such as not being able to sit pain-free and not being able to sit for more than, let's say, 20 minutes at all. If I sit longer, then I'm gonna have to pay for it, and this is affecting my relationship. At this point I don't remember how being normal feels like any more. when the doctors see my MRI they treat me as if I'm normal and nothing is wrong with me and they don't take me seriously. one of the most even put me on antidepressant drugs saying that it might be mental but that didn't help either. Do you think if I take an injection now it would help?

    Hi. Thanks for ur video. I had horizontal BPPV. Basically it was in left posterior canel and i thought it was in right and did epely manuer for right and it made the spinning worse and threw up 2 times and didn't eat anything for the whole day. After 5 days I went to ENT whlo then reffered to a vertigo center where they put up some VR kind of device and did multiple testss ans finally convoluted its left horizontal canel. They did manuer and it was gone. Noe its been 15 days after the treatment but I still feel dizzy but no spinning. My question is does BPPV occur because of continuous driving? Im still very nervous Bout turning while sleeping and bending forward. Also I suggest ppl to just visit an expert to identify the correct canel and get the manuer done there itself instead of self doing as I m still struggling with dizziness even after 15 days
