- Gaze stability exercises: which involves moving your head while maintaining fixed on a target to retrain a reflex between your eyes and ears.
- Habituation exercises: repeated exposure to movement which may make you dizzy in order to settle down your symptoms over time.
- Balance exercises: various exercises that challenge your balance in order to help you feel more steady on your feet and improve your balance over time.
