It is actually amazing that we can in fact stand on two feet without falling. And not only that, many of us can run, jump, spin around in circle or even ride a bike down a steep stony mountain hill without falling.
Healthy people can do most of that thanks to our amazing balance system.
But unfortunately, the balance system does not always function right and when it stops functioning we experience a feeling called vertigo or dizziness (I’ll talk about it as the same thing here because the cause is the same although these two feelings are experienced in a different way).
We’ve all felt dizziness and had vertigo at some time in our life. Be it from sailing in bad waves, driving on a dusty road, traveling to a high altitude or even having a few too many at the bar (I could tell you some stories).
Luckily for most people it is only a temporary situation that quickly blows over and no solution needs to be sought.
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.
This kind of chronic vertigo/dizziness is caused by problems with the balance system.
We all have three kinds of balance systems.
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.
However, if two or even three of those balance systems become ineffective, we have a big problem. That is why it is so important to strengthen all three balance systems even if one or two are too weak to completely heal them.
So how do we strengthen our balance system?
You see, 90% of the time, dizziness and vertigo are caused by tension in the muscles around our balance system – the eyes, the ears or the body line from the top of our skull to the pelvic bone.
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.
If you’ve ever tried eyeglasses that are too strong for you, you know exactly what I mean.
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.
You do not even have to do this perfectly. If you only bring each of these systems to 70% function, that is enough for you to never feel dizziness or vertigo again. That is exactly what my natural vertigo and dizziness program does.
