It it facsinating to watch gymnists who gracefully run, soar into the air, flip their bodies around and then land on two feet. While most of us are not trained or equipped to accomplish such feats, many of us perform our own amazing balancing acts daily just by walking on both feet.
Thanks to our balance system, healthy people can do these things.
However, not everyone’s systemic balance allows for the ability to walk with ease. Vertigo or dizziness are terms used to describe the effects of the impaired balance system. Though these feelings have differences, I will use the terms interchangably since the root cause is the same.
Everyone has experienced some form of dizziness or vertigo. Perhaps an ear infection left you wobbly on your feet. Or, you’ve suddenly jumped up from a sitting position very quickly and felt the need to sit right back down.
Fortunately, the feeling doesn’t tend to last long for the majority.
However, thousands of people suffer from what is called chronic vertigo / dizziness. If you suffer from this condition, you either constantly feel dizzy or you get dizzy several times a year, month or even week – often without any obvious reason.
The balance system or rather the impaired balance system is the culprit for this chronic condition.
Our three balance systems are located in the
ears eyes body sense
Our balance system is so advantaged that even if one part goes out, we may feel it a little but we’ll still function pretty much normally. Most blind people can walk normally – so can a person who has problems with the balance system in his/her ears.
We need to exercise all three sytems though, because we are not so fortunate when more than one of our balance systems is experiencing problems.
How can we improve our balance system?
Stress or muscle tension surrounding the eyes, ears or upper body is responsible for vertigo or dizziness the majority of the time.
For example if you have tension in the eye muscles, then your eye’s balance system conceives the world in just a tiny bit different way than your ear’s balance system does.
These two balance systems send two different messages to the brain. This causes confusion when your brain tries to process the information. Needless to say, you feel dizzy.
Having your eyes dilated is a good example of this occurance.
Now if your balance system in your ear was 100% and your body’s balance system was 100% – you could still function pretty well even if there was a problem with the eye’s balance system. But it hardly ever is so you feel dizzy or even experience the world spinning around you.
The solution is to strengthen and loosen up all muscles around all your balance systems – as well as strengthening your body’s balance awareness.
My vertio and dizziness program are designed to accomplish exactly this. Each balance system does not have to be at 100%. If each one is well above average, complete relief can be attained.
