Gaze stabilization

Hold your thumb in front of you at arm's length. Stare at the thumb. Slowly turn your head left to right while keeping your eyes fixed on the thumb. 30 seconds. Then up-down for 30 seconds. Vestibular rehab classic — retrains the vestibulo-ocular reflex after BPPV, vestibular neuritis, or chronic dizziness.

Form cues

1Eyes STAY on the thumb — never lose the target
2Move the head slow at first, gradually faster as you tolerate
3Stop if dizziness gets sharper rather than fading after 1-2 min

Common mistakes

Letting the eyes follow the head (defeats the whole protocol)
Pushing through worsening symptoms instead of stopping
