Do You Suffer From Dizziness (Vertigo)?

Vertigo is the feeling of being off balance. It can manifest as dizziness, either as your head spinning or the room spinning around you. Dizziness has numerous causes but did you know that disturbances in the vestibular system (present inside the inner ear) can also cause dizziness? Lets explore more about dizziness in this blog.

The 4 symptoms that indicate your dizziness is caused by a disturbance in the vestibular apparatus (inner ear) are given below:

Your dizziness is increased by moving your head in different directions.
The dizziness with head movement is accompanied by involuntary rapid flickering of the eyeballs in a certain direction. This is called nystagmus and its direction may change or stop with certain movements of the head.
You may experience disturbance in balance either at the time of the dizziness or later on as well.
Dizziness maybe accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

There are four types of inner ear problems that can cause vertigo:

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
Labyrinthitis
Vestibular neuronitis
Meniere’s disease

Watch this video for details of these conditions:

Therse are some specialised exercises that can be done to assess these conditions and treatment can be done accordingly:

Habituation exercises - getting used to the aggravating positions/ movements
Gaze stability exercises - practice movements of the your head while keeping your eyes focused on a specific point
Balance and gait training - training static and dynamic balance
Shoulder/ cervical exercises

These exercises will help to:

Reduce the symptoms of vertigo and dizziness
Reduce the symptoms of nausea and vomiting
Improve mobility and balance
Reduce the risk of falls
Enable patients to return to pre-dizziness levels of activity
Improve quality of life.

MEET SWATI

Hi there!

I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach & Certified Posture Expert

I help mums of young kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage back, neck, and nerve pain, even with low energy, brain fog, and little time to spare. My proven system delivers real relief without stealing hours from your already packed day. The result? More productive professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can be fully present with their kids, instead of being sidelined by pain.

My passion comes from personal experience. I’ve been where you are: in pain, overwhelmed, and exhausted. After two pregnancies in three years, juggling my kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was stuck in a constant cycle of back and nerve pain. The physical load of motherhood added strain to my spine and joints. Meanwhile, adrenal fatigue left me drained, even after 10–12 hours of sleep.

Everyday tasks became a struggle. I was forgetful, foggy, and low on energy. Even as a trained physiotherapist and posture expert, I couldn’t escape my own pain. I stood all day at work, spent evenings on the laptop, rocked my kids to sleep, sat through endless meetings, traveled frequently ... I’ve been through it all.

I kept my pain hidden at work, afraid to speak up. I felt like a fraud, someone who coached others on relief strategies but couldn’t find relief herself. I loved my job and my children, but I couldn’t give 100% to either. Pain was holding me back.

One New Year, I made a resolution: to get healthy, not just fix pain, fatigue, or weight. I focused on reducing inflammation, healing my adrenal fatigue, and reclaiming my energy. Slowly but surely, the pain faded. I lost weight, my brain fog cleared, and my energy skyrocketed. Today, my pain is nearly gone. I feel stronger, clearer, and more in control than I have in years.

And now, I want that for you.

I combine professional expertise with lived experience to support other mums like me, those with young kids, high-stress jobs, and no time for complicated health programs. I’ve helped hundreds of women reduce spinal and joint pain, lift their energy, and clear the mental fog that holds them back.

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. I got you, mommy!

Let’s get you feeling strong, confident, and fully present at work and at home.

Are you ready to start? Curious about how this works? Just ask.

Let's DO THIS!

xx Swati
