Vertigo works!

Research has shown that 4 out of 5 people less dizzy were within a few months.

After 1 year, people were even less dizzy than after 3 months. This shows that exercises can ensure that dizziness stays away for a long time.

The Scientific Society of Dutch GP's (the NHG) advices vestibular rehabilitation therapy as first line therapy in patients suffering from dizziness for over one month.

Vertigo Training as effective as a GP consultation

Vestibular rehabilitation (targeted exercises) is a safe and effective way in the treatment of chronic vestibular symptomem (dizziness). However, treatment is not widely used in daily general practice. Therefore, an online self-training programme was developed. This training is as effective as a consultation.
