Home Epley Maneuver: Performance, Tips and Tricks (Right Side)

Ғылым және технология

Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT takes the time to show you how to perform an Epley Maneuver at home to treat Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (or displaced crystals in the inner ear that causes positional dizziness). Additionally, she shows you how to determine which side (left or right) is the side with the displaced crystals and provides you with tips to ensure your maneuver has the best chance for success.
You can find our in depth full course on How to Treat Positional Vertigo here: balancing-act-rehab-s-school....
This course covers a wider variety of topics including:
- A more in depth look into inner ear anatomy, and why BPPV occurs
- How to test for the most common types of BPPV in different canals
- How to determine the ear that is involved if you have active BPPV
- How to treat BPPV using various maneuvers appropriate for the ear and the canal involved
- Tips and tricks to improve your chances of success at home, as well as how to face challenges including nausea/vomiting.
NOTE: It is recommended that if you have vertigo, that you first see a healthcare professional or vestibular specialist to determine the right course of treatment for you. The Epley maneuver is primarily used to treat a specific form of positional vertigo. There are many other causes of vertigo, as well as many different types of treatment. Please see our disclaimer at the end of the video.
You can find a vestibular therapist close to you by visiting vestibular.org and using their Provider Directory. Be sure to check out the Vestibular Disorders Association (VEDA) for additional information and resources.

    This cured my BPPV, but it took me like 5 attempts over 3 days. Here’s what I was doing wrong. I wasn’t lying back fast enough on position one and my pillow was too soft so my head wasn’t at the right angle. I used to feel spinning in the first position but not the second or third and then would feel spinning again when I sat up. This is a sign that the crystals went back to the wrong place. When I finally did this right, I felt spinning in position 1 and 3 and the last one it felt normal-ish again.

    Yesterday I went to see an EENT specialist to check if something was wrong with my ear due to recurring vertigo. Paid $55 for a 15 minute visit. And, to top it all at position 4 when I sat up after the maneuver was completed, the room spun so badly. Was told to come back in 2-days time if I am still experiencing vertigo. This video is by far, by a long shot, the easiest, most simple explanation EVER. No cost and easy enough to follow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Please know that YOU are a lifesaver - you are making a HUGE difference to people like me. I am no longer scared, worried, or terrified of the symptoms. I now know how to manage it - all thanks to you, Dr. Tate. You rock!!!

    I woke up to dizziness one morning and after 2 days of dealing with it, I finally got on line to see if I could find a way to get rid of it and I came across your video. The first thing I did was the test, to see which ear was giving me problems. Boy, did I find out fast! I did the test on the left ear first and it seemed fine. Then I did the test on the right ear and the whole room started whirling around at an alarming rate. So I did the Epley Maneuver right away and I felt 90% better. I did it 2 more times that day and I couldn't believe how normal I felt again. I was almost afraid to go to bed that night, thinking it might come back, but the next morning I felt perfectly fine with no dizziness at all. This video is a lifesaver and I thank you for sharing the information.

    Thank you so much for the video. My husband had to have a surgery where he was put under for about an hour. He came home to recover (slowly) but on the fourth day of recovery, this vertigo set in. He never had it before in his life, but at 57, it appeared. It was definitely positional, and mostly when laying down or turning during sleep. We watched your video numerous times (days) before he got the gumption to do it. (He was very nervous because that feeling of vertigo was so horrible he didn't want to feel it again when he laid down.) But after ten days of being miserable with the vertigo, and hoping it would go away on it's own, we did it. He laid down with his head to the right, and he said, "Oh, here it comes." I saw his eyes flutter for about 20 seconds. Then we finished with the Epley Maneuver exactly like in your video, and when he sat up, he wasn't dizzy. We want to thank you so much for posting this....his vertigo has been gone ever since!

    ​@@theresahayes4294 I understand that fear because I share it. I experience that fear EACH AND EVERY TIME I experience vertigo due to BPPV. I have a recurring problem, sporadic, not often,but it terrifies me every single time and it sometimes takes me hours to get the gumption to do the Epley Maneuver. I have a fantastic PT near me with a cert in vestibular therapy. I could not live without his help when at home therapy doesn't do it. FYI, the cause of my vertigo isn't always BPPV; sometimes it comes from my neck/spine (in a way I do not understand)and that is less agreeable to simple maneuvers. Hang in there, I hope yours is a one time disruption,but there is treatment,as you see here. And Dr Tate deserves a medal for this straightforward,simple- to-grasp video.

    I had intense terrifying vertigo a few years ago that sent me to the ER. After the tests to rule out stroke and other issues, I was told I have BPPV and shown the maneuver. It was successful, but now the doctors say since I've had it once, I'm likely more prone to it in the future. Today another bout of it set my anxieties careening out of control and I followed your video, after calming down and laying down, finding that laying on my right side made the world spin. I completed the maneuver, and the last step, sitting up... HOLY SHIT I thought I'd puke. It was so bad I crumbled into a pile on my bed, afraid to even move. I waited a bit, got my breathing under control, and sat up slowly. No vertigo. I'm HOPEFUL this is the end of this bout of it, but if not, I know what to do FIRST, rather than wait and allow the anxiety monsters to grab hold again.

    That’s correct. I have had it since I was 15 after a head Injury. I had these little bouts every year or so sometimes longer. 100 percent of the time it starts when I wake up from sleeping in one position. I will stand up and POW the spinning starts…..I just do the eply manuever 3 times and it helps me a lot. You will have residual dizziness for a couple days after so take it slow.

I tested out my positional dizziness again two days later, and it's no longer there - at ALL! What made this video so effective was your ability to explain how the crystals get dislodged, and how to put them back using the ear model. That is what made my positioning purposeful when I was performing the maneuver on myself. Thank you so much!

How many times have you needed to figure out how to do something? You go to KZread to find a video about how to do it, and that task that requires 15 seconds is buried in a 10 minute video. Dr Tolman just goes right to the point. She shows you how to do it, and then gives you the additional information afterwards.

    I hit my head a week ago while riding my mountain bike and developed vertigo. I went to the ER and they proscribed Meclizine which made my stomach upset. My wife googled vertigo and found “Home Epley Maneuver: Performance, Tips, and Tricks (Right Side)”. I performed Dr. Danielle Tolman procedure and the next day my vertigo was completely gone. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the information from Dr. Danielle Tolman video. Thank you so much Dr. Danielle Tolman.

    I was prescribed Meclizine also which didn't upset my tummy, but which side did you have the effect on? Mines on the left side. and how many times did you attempt to do this.

    I have watched several videos on this subject and yours by far is the very best. Not only do you do an excellent job of explaining the different aspects of BPP vertigo and the Epley Maneauver, but your use of a model of the ear canals adds so much to the video. It helps people understand the reasoning behind what the maneauver is doing, and why it may or may not work if the steps of the maneauver aren't followed correctly. Thank you so much for a video well done.

    Excellent. I've read dozens of articles and watched dozens of videos on the Epley maneuver, and this is the FIRST one to state that one should wait for the vertigo to _stop_ before beginning the 30-60 second wait prior to moving to the next position. All other sources just say to wait 30-60 seconds after reaching a position before moving to the next, which is very different. The importance of the final position is also something that's not mentioned in many other sources, which basically just say "now sit up".

    Update: It's been about 1-1/2 hours since I followed Dr. Tate's instruction exactly, and I feel 100% perfect! No issues with dizziness or nausea! It is like a gift of giving me my day back! This episode of BPPV was the second one this week. The first one I almost fell over while walking to the bathroom upon waking, and I sat all morning and didn't feel better until noon. Today, I could barely get out of bed, and I have a lot of farm work to do, so I couldn't wait for the dizziness to pass. I looked for a comprehensive video for home solo maneuvers and this was the best! I am grateful for the tips, explanation, and reminders at the end so I don't make mistakes. Thank you again for this excellent instructional video. Tip for others, I needed to have my husband bring a bucket to me while doing this since I felt like I was going to throw up. So maybe get one before you start your maneuver.
