You see them all the time: videos that promise „press here, massage there, or do exactly this one move and your dizziness will be gone immediately!“
Why this one miracle exercise can never exist:
👉 Dizziness is a symptom, not an illness: Dizziness has countless different causes – from inner ear disorders (vestibular) to neurological disorders, to medication side effects or orthostatic problems. How can a single exercise cure all of this?
👉 The phenomenon behind the pressure: When a self-proclaimed „expert“ tells you „press here and it will help you“, an enormous positive expectation arises. This placebo effect ensures that you feel better in the short term – no matter where you press.
👉 What this really shows: This is actually fantastic news! It proves how much control you have over your symptoms and that your brain is capable of reducing dizziness through the right mindset and distraction.
👉 Real therapy instead of magic tricks: In evidence-based vertigo therapy, we work with Chronic dizziness (PPPD) therefore with targeted, distracting tasks and stimulus confrontation – not with magical pressure points!
