OMG, this is me! Walking feels weird. I compare it to the sensation of an elevator just settling in on your floor. I’ve noticed walking on softer surfaces, like the beach or grass, is less weird than harder surfaces, like hardwood floors or asphalt. Unlevel brick sidewalks are the worst! Shoe choice can also effect my level of wonkiness. Thanks to your channel, I no longer fear my symptoms. I am back to running, walking to work, & life in general. I so appreciate your channel!!! You are helping so many. 💕💕
❤ Thank you, June! Yes, it is interesting how all of these can really change our senses. I am so happy for you and for your continued healing! Brings so much joy to me and I feel so grateful to be able to share this information!
I STILL have a whole spectrum of emotions! I have to keep reminding myself how far I’ve come in 2 years. It’s a lot of mental gymnastics. Acceptance, gratitude, self compassion. It also helps to know I’m not alone. We’ve got this!!😵💫🙃
I know first hand how much chronic dizziness impacts your day. You are safe in your body. Your brain wants to find balance. You are not alone. You can heal. Embrace the healing process. 💕
Yep that’s me .. passed through a period with extreme anxiety .. and then this chronic dizziness came in .. did all the health exams all came normal ..
I can’t close my eyes, I have to pay attention to where my ankles are. I do like your exercises and will add them to my routine. Thank you so much for your videos.
I started walking @ dusk like you suggested. I also sometimes close my curtains, get it really dark in my apartment and dance to some of my favorite music. These have helped so much! 💕
@@Megan_JenniferI've stopped being scared of it but the walking is still so bad for me it's like I can walk for a few minutes and then dizziness kicks in so strong.
These videos are by far the best, most informative I've ever seen for PPPD!! I wish I had this info. back in 2015 when my vestibular Neuritis, unknowingly to me, morphed into PPPD.
Thank you for your kind words, Paul! Please check out my free course, if you have not already. I have many of my recommendations condensed into a course on healing chronic dizziness and it is completely free. members.thesteadycoach.com/
Hi again. I still get the floaty head feeling either slighty or more noticeably walking forward a year after vestibular neuritis confirmed by ENT doc as linked to reactivated virus following covid vaccination. Most of the time it doesn't bother me too much but when i think it has reduced to a remnant and then i feel it more I wonder if it will ever really go completely. i think one of your videos said that these fluctuations can be a sign of things getting better.? As i said before, i do tai-chi, yoga and some of your VR exercises and meditations. The information you give is really helpful and important in understanding the condition Yonit and reassuring. I don't really get anxious about it...but sometimes get days when my mood feels quite low, saying that i do suffer from background depression which is usually under control with low dose antidepressants... which i believe from reading articles is often offered to treat PPPD anyway. i suppose Im saying that i am coping well, but i do find it frustrating and baffling to still have it present ( at least 2 out of 10 if i had to say how it felt most of time) So any further reassurance you can give us Yonit is always very welcome. Ann
Exactly this have been happening to me, once I stand to walk it seems I lost hold of my body and just doesn't feel like I'm the one walking, did an MRi and everything came back good...this only started after the antibiotics I took for gut issues and it makes me so anxious and just makes me want to curl into my bed and don't go no where. Thank you so much
This is a very disturbing sensation, I know. It really helps to understand it’s a harmless brain error (as long as medical issues have been ruled out).
Yes, you can! The recovery process looks different for everyone and just because it came back again does not mean it is here to stay. If you haven't already checked out my free course, I would highly recommend it to help you on your journey members.thesteadycoach.com/
When I first got this in 2010, I described it as "it feels like the ground is moving under my feet" and I feel like no one ever had any idea what i was talking about. It also sometimes feels like I"m being blown by the wind. These days during this reoccurrence I am feeling it more in my legs, like, localized to my legs rather than my whole body which is also really weird.
Excellent video. After tapering off a ton of benzodiazepines walking has felt like being on a ship at sea. Neuropathy has def not helped. The more i know the more it helps. Thanks so much for the explanation.
I wondered as my right eye is a little bit weaker than my left if that is impacting my not being able to walk more normal and having these sensation you describe. It’s making me crazy and my life is so limited right now. Thanks for your videos! You give me hope and I am grateful
I also feel this, walking is weird for me too! I have chronic boat-feeling dizziness, causing me to feel as if i am walking on a trampoline. I feel so fatigued from it. I have so many issues, moved, and divorced so who knows if it's trauma or It may be neck related since it feels heavy, working with an atlas chiropractor. To add I had iron deficiency about 6 months ago and although my levels are optimal I can't rule out a little bit also adding to this ...help!
Hi Caroline, I am sorry you are going through this. My first recommendation is to take my free course if you haven't already. All of my techniques and recommendations are condensed into this course. Over 1600 people have taken it and we have received great feedback. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Hi Caroline, I feel just like you. I also think it's related to the neck. I think it may be cervical instability that's causing this. What did you do? And how are you now?
Awesome video dr. Yoooooo (do you get that a lot 😜) Speaking of diminishing reacting to your symptoms, I had this great week last week, of totally putting the symptoms on the back burner, felt so good. Hands were warm (they are often cold cause you know), neck tension was minimal, feeling of disiquilibrium was minimal, all that. And this week, the contrary! It's almost laughable. All part of the ups and downs of the condition. But, at least, it shows that it can get better. I just wish I could be a little more sustained. We'll keep at it. Thank you for all you do.
@@TheSteadyCoach forgot to ask, do you recommend, as an added level of difficulty, the next progression level if you will, to do the exercices on a foam pad?
I have cervicogenic spondylosis/arthritis that is causing my annoying walking imbalance. I definitely need to "consistently" do these exercises amongst others.
I have this almost every day. It's so miserable. I'm pretty sure I could manage with these symptoms if I didn't feel so nauseas.. But as a child I had issues with motion sickness...I'm a car and on rides..
Finally I have an explanation for my symptoms. I had this very symptom back in 2016 which came about suddenly and was accompanied with cloudiness or fogginess in my head and dizziness. Every time I would walk I could feel the floor moving up and down much like how an elevator would stop at a floor you could feel it at your feet. I had a panic attack at the time as I thought it was a brain tumour. Went to the three different doctors and not one had ever heard of this symptom before and I was the first patient that ever said so. I had cleared all the medical tests to much of my relief. However my GP sent me off to the Phycologist where he thought I had a Conversion disorder. The symptom finally went away 3 years after however I still get dizziness/headaches.
My problem is a bit more tricky....I have had this dizziness for a while but have recently(2 months ago) had lens replacements in both eyes. I then managed to rupture my achilles tendon and am in a boot....I feel shaky and disorientated.most of the time.
I have cervical dystonia, for which I have had two neck surgeries, Botox injections every 3 months and neuro-based physical therapy. My head and neck are now pretty straight but I still FEEL twisted and so my walking feels very strange (feel like feet hitting floor too hard etc.) and my balance is bad. Why do I FEEL like I am twisted to the left even though I am actually looking straight ahead?
Hey Dr., do you have any recommendations on any vitamins or supplements to take that could help with this? I tried taking Riboflavin, Magnesium Glycinate, and COQ10 and they all gave me anxiety like not other and I still had constant brain fog. I'm just trying any holistic remedy to see what works, thanks in advance!
First of all thank you. As my dizzy symptoms have subsided my anxiety has become unbearable at times. Do you have a video touching on this? Thank you for all your videos.
@@Rose-gc8og my onset was on the 8th of Feb, felt much better March the 15th. There were setbacks. Then in late April I felt perfectly normal. But, sadly, a week later, symptoms were back with a vengeance, then just today I can say I feel much better again. I don't know what this means, but I hope the improvement will last and get better until I feel normal again.
@@Rose-gc8og also I don't know specifically what helped me bc as you may know it's hard to get a diagnosis for this damn thing. I tried a bunch of things, such as medications and last thing I did was taking the free course of dr yonit. I didn't finish it just midway I felt I was improving to a degree where normal state was just another the corner coming on its own and I didn't feel like I needed to complete it.
I have been feeling very weird when I walk since past 1 & half year post covid. I felt like I have lost my control over my body. I am doing your free course. I have been finding answers to all these issues over long period of time. My most of the test came normal. I didn't went for MRI or something but mostly blood tests. Now I feel like I can make a comeback from this weird feeling 24/7. Thanks a lot 🙂
These videos are such a fantastic resource. Ive been diagnosed with PPPD stemming from severe vestibular migraine which are always triggered by visual stimulus. I'm noticing that sitting on anything unsteady (I.e. an office chair that slightly spins), laying down without my feet flat on the bed or just closing my eyes triggers my dizziness. It's also worse in low light. Before the PPPD triggered, I had very heavy daily screen use and low physical activity due to my other health conditions. My Dr described it as my system being overestimulated and that it needs time to calm down but your advice on the systems being out of balance makes sense with my triggers. Is it possible that my visual input has been massively overworked and now in overdrive and my brain is struggling to balance the other two inputs in the equation? And then would I be right in thinking the best thing I can do is these types of exercise that help to build up that input again? Thank you again!
Hi there! I don't think of PPPD as a purely physical problem caused by overusing someone's senses (it is very common for physicians to think about it that way). Sure, overstimulation might be been part of the story, but life stressors play a huge role IMO. Exercises like you describe are a lovely way of helping your brain adapt, but I also take the view that addressing life stress is a very important component of ensuring that your brain has the resources to rewire. If you take a look at this video, it sums it up! th-cam.com/video/4QDFGvHGURc/w-d-xo.html
Do you know anything about MCS or how to calm it? I've been fighting for my life for 4 years now because of mold, heavy metals, trauma and chronic stress
Yes. MCS is typically a neural circuit condition that responds to exactly the same methods I talk about on my channel. What triggered/started the syndrome can be biological (mold, for example), but that's not usually what causes them to become chronic. The nervous system is often responsible for that chronicity.
I have chronic sciatica and when I get a feeling of trampoline walking I can usually be sure that my blood pressure is suddenly going up very high and my senses go on overdrive
Great information. I have had testing and turns out my right ear had no vestibular function and my left ear had a weak response to vestibular testing. Is this something that, with treatment, I could re-again balance?
Hi! I am soooo greatful for your course and all the video's. I never had a diagnose but when i heard of the symptoms i just cried because this is my story. So recognizable! I've been in a burnout for the past 10 months and i have much stress lately and i was walking on the street the other day and i felt so weird in my head. Like i was pulled to one side, i wanted to walk in a straight line but in my head i was pulled to one side. So i stopped (i got really scared, afraid that i couldn't make it to my car) and tried to walk again. It happened again but a little less. After that day i am scared to walk, i am hyper focussing on my head and body. I've had it a couple of times now. Is this something you hear often and is it also treatable? Thank you so much! Gr Ingrid
Hi Ingrid, welcome and I am SO happy to hear everything has helped. It sounds like your brain had every reason to be in "danger mode" right now and YES it is reversible. The pulling to one side feeling is definitely a symptom I see with neural circuit dizziness, and it goes away with the others.
@@puppyforever7101MINE started after having Covid, along with some family issues like taking care of an Autistic Grandson ! It's a yr now...started with the feeling of being On a boat to now it's Trampoline Walking ALL the TIME !! Waiting for the Chiropractor appt , MRI & Eply cleared me...I wonder if it's in my Neck ! I get sooo Desperate at times..soooo tired of this OVERTAKNG MY LIFE !!! But I will NEVER Give Up !!
For me it feels like walking on a cloud or as if the wind is carrying me. My legs feel constantly weak and heavy, and it's really annoying because I normally love walking 😔 I wonder if this is because the legs have to do more work now, trying to balance me when I feel unbalanced.
While driving of Bike. The speed of bike effects on my stomach and head. its like imbalance of body and i fell as i fell down and condition of spinning head occurs. its also effect me while I walking. i cannot walke straight. mostly when I drive the bike I cannot ride right side. my mind automaticaly moves it toward other direction. what is it
Hi!! I have had this trampoline walking, motion boat rocking (whatever you want to call it) for over a year and it’s super debilitating. Have had all the medical tests under the sun and all are clear. I just have a question on the exercises - how often would you recommend doing them? And, do them all in the same sequence or choose a few to focus on? Also (sorry), is the parasympathetic breathing still worthwhile with this symptom? Thanks so much!
Hi Emma, I don't usually prescribe exercises to people for this kind of thing and they are only part of what I suggest for recovery so the best advice I have is to consider taking the free course. It'll give you some ideas about how to build this into a recovery plan. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Yes definitely! The brain is working extra hard to interpret information from the senses and this can make it not as accurate in its conclusions about where things are in space.
Hii doctor yonit your explanations are fantastic doctor I want to know is pppd is life long and do u met with patient who is totally symptoms free with no relapse?
You're so welcome, and no, from my perspective, PPPD is curable. It is completely normal to have dizziness throughout your life even if you don't have PPPD. Think of it like a headache. You might still get a headache now and then, but that's normal, and the preoccupation with the discomfort goes away. It's not really about the symptoms themselves going away as much as it is your brain not overreacting anymore.
I more feel like I’m wearing a backpack and it feels like someone is pulling on the straps but also feel like I’m lifted up… not good. Also when driving and I stop I feel like the car is still moving like when the car next you moves and it feels like you are but nobody is moving.
I wonder if Meclizine would hurt the recovery process of PPPD. I was gonna take it for BPPV (vertigo) that I’m currently experiencing. But don’t want to take it if it interferes with PPPD recovery. What are your thoughts on this Dr. Yonit? Should I just stick with the Epley maneuver?
Hi doctor, I have been dealing with this trampoline floor thing for 2 months now. I had light and sound sensitivity, daily headaches, head pressure and daily nausea the first month. I still get headaches occasionally. I also still get nausea but not daily. What should I do? I'm so worried. Can I stay like this??
@The Steady Coach..I feel bouncy feeling starting from my feet to till waist it feels.....more in shopping mall and after elevator journey..and whole body suddenly feels uneasiness ? Any thought??. It's a weird feeling I get and feels me nervous.. And also I have problem of balance while walking.. Pls guide me . I had MRI brain and spine done which are normal. I had vitamin b12 and d3 deficiency last year and it started since then. Now vit levels are fine but still balance and bouncy feelings issue persist
Sounds like neural circuit symptoms to me. Have you seen any of my other videos yet? I think this one is a good summary of my advice: th-cam.com/video/JjkLWytDlos/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much again! I have mdds and I think that anxiety is a huge factor. Maybe you have an idea why mdds is worse after travelling with car/train/plain..etc? And what we can do while travelling? Thank you!!
Hi Claudi, it gets worse while traveling because the vestibular system has to do some adjusting any time you're moving at different speeds. Even people without symptoms often have odd sensations- in fact 80% of people have rocking after they get off a boat. The difference is that their nervous systems say, "False alarm!" and the symptoms go away. Your nervous system is thinking the symptoms mean something so it's turning the volume up on them. The most important thing you can do is recognize that this is a false alarm, but all of the other things I talk about here on my channel can help. I have had others ask about traveling so I plan to make a video about it, but it all boils down to making sure your nervous system feels safe.
Hi @TheSteadyCoach Do your patients ever state that they can't "intentionally" trigger the symptoms? In other words, if they try to trigger the symptoms Infront of you they can't? But they happen when they aren't thinking about it, or when they are distracted by something else?
i feel weird while walking but no headache but some times dizziness i go to the doctor he told nothing is serious so still i dont understand what the problem is can you help plz ????
Hi Dr I’ve been experiencing dizziness 24/7 it happened to me 3 months ago out of nowhere I’ve been doing vestibular therapy and it’s helping. It reduces my symptoms but not by a lot. I have good days and then bad days. My MRI results also came back normal. I feel constant dizziness no matter if I’m in bed sitting walking( which makes it worse when I walk for a long time) also my vision is shaky it reduces but sometimes it flares up a lot and I’m unsure what I have. Plz help out thank you
Hi Lucas, it's awesome to hear the VRT is helping a bit, but in my experience, that doesn't always help calm the nervous system- and that is a key component to healing. I have so many resources here on this channel- this video sums up the main things i think people need to do to heal: th-cam.com/video/JjkLWytDlos/w-d-xo.html and you can also check out my course (100% free) at members.thesteadycoach.com
@@eshghedelameshghedelam1727 it has gotten a bit better but I feel like my vision is very messy like eveything feels really really weird which sucks but I’m gonna do the mediation more frequently I’ll keep you updated
I’ve found that’s part of the cycle. Dizziness causes anxiety and the anxiety continues to fuel the dizziness. Watch all her videos. She explains everything so well and it can help you in the moments of distress/ anxiety and remind yourself of the truth that you are okay. You will get better. You are just stuck in the circuit cycle she speaks of. Of course go to the doctor and make sure nothing is wrong. I am just speaking of my experience with two and a half years of dizziness and endless doctor appointments that thankful have found nothing wrong.
Hi Barbar, I am so sorry that you are experiencing this and dizziness can fuel anxiety and vice versa. I do offer online one on one sessions and you can join my waitlist or schedule directly with my colleague, Dr. Lisa (who is amazing and practices the same techniques as I do) at my website thesteadycoach.com/. Also, if you have not already done so, I would recommend checking out my free course on healing chronic dizziness. It lays out all of my recommendations in a condensed format and is 100% free. You can find the course here: members.thesteadycoach.com/
I still can’t figure out if it’s my neck causing the dizziness and balance issues or if it’s neural circuit dizziness. I get vertigo when I keep my head turned for too long, or if I look down for too long, but so many of these others symptoms of pppd sound like me too. It’s been so long dealing with these things it just feels hopeless sometimes.
It can be so tough to figure it out. My best advice is to make sure you get it fully investigated to make sure there is not something physical going on, but I've seen a lot of people have neck related dizziness that ended up just being a neural circuit issue.
@@TheSteadyCoach is there still hope if it is structural? I was diagnosed with craniocervical instability and have had these issues for a decade now. But I feel the symptoms are so much worse in times of stress and anxiety.
super video Dr Arthur,I always admire you for doing this wonderful job in helping many of them.❤👏👏 Iam recommending people whom I know and having these issues to watch your videos. The best part of your videos is that you motivate,inspire and create a positive vibes on the mindset with your sincerity and honest approach. this is the approach which makes me more pleasant while watching the videos and listen to your tips. thank you loads arthur❤
Hi Lisa, I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis but this is good news because it means your body is healthy and whole, and with the techniques we talk about here, you will recover. Here is my video on medications: th-cam.com/video/NLnSNCpewh4/w-d-xo.html
Hi, i dont know what is happening to me.. My reports are all normal but mu b12 was low. And i am having symptoms of floor moving under my legs and like while lying down on bed its like bed is moving.. And also i feel like i am walking on a trampoline. I dont know a simple b12 will do all these. But i my all other reports are normal
Hi Dr. Yo. My head often feels totally disconnected and floaty-like. Can that be the pppd or from the brain surgeries? Even though my body knows how to walk, I still use the walker because of this heightened sensation. Thanks in advance.
Hi Jeanne, I would definitely defer to your doctors in your specific case, but I can tell you that the floaty, derealized symptom is a VERY common symptom among people with neural circuit dizziness. Try not to let it scare you. Remind yourself that your brain is just trying to figure out what the information from your senses means.
hello from france I have a question for you , why pppd cause a light sensitivity ? I have pain in my eyes when the weather is cloudy it's too bright for me. thank you
Hi Yoan, I have a video on visual symptoms- I don't specifically talk about light sensitivity but the same principles apply! If the nervous system is in "threat mode" then it puts too much emphasis on the eyes. th-cam.com/video/MsWYyDWuu_s/w-d-xo.html
Not sure if I’m walking differently now but over the past few months I’ve had knee & foot pain , my dizziness has been an issue for about 3 years now …. 🤔
Hi DJ, this is quite common, MANY of my folks with chronic dizziness have or have had pain as well. While often medical professionals will blame this on your walking, I have rarely found this to be the case. Pain and dizziness, when they are chronic, have the same source= a nervous system that is extra sensitive to threat. The techniques I talk about on my channel help chronic pain as well.
Hello Dr. Yo, Is it normal for neural circuit dizziness symptoms such as marshmallow walking to vary in intensity? And is it possible that the symptoms are sometimes overshadowed by other physical complaints and are then no longer felt? What are your experiences in relation to this?
Hi Dani, OH yes, this is extremely common and one of the hallmarks of neural circuit dizziness! It's one of the ways I can tell that someone has it- symptoms come and go, and other physical ailments that have no medical explanation pop up.
Hi Janice! It is a form of acceptance! But the difference between regular acceptance and this type is that it takes it a step further and assumes that when we do meet the symptoms where they are and lose our fear, that will actually lead to our brain re-wiring and removing the symptoms.
Hi doctor.. I feel as if springs are there in my legs.. Why do i feel like that? That feeling comes while standing and walking and it feels so irritating.. I used to use earpods a lot and do you think this might be the reason? And is this spring kinda feeling.. Is walking on trampoline?
@@TheSteadyCoach Thanks for responding. I am like the rest been through the MRI’s and CT scans and balance test all came back fine. CT showed some sinus blockage. Doctor diagnosed PPPD. Tried vestibular therapy and SSRI. Nothing works unless I do saline nasal flush daily and I feel 80 percent better but not 100. Doctors are saying it’s not the sinuses. It’s weird because I get all the symptoms. Everyone else does with a PPPD. Very frustrating. Also I can go 3 or 4 days totally symptom free and then wake up the next morning and it’s back again.
Thank you for this! I had marshmallow walking at one point and it feels so bizarre. One of my main symptoms is currently light sensitivity. Do you think somatic tracking could be applied to that? I have done somatic tracking for chronic pain before. The light sensitivity gets worse at night and then I also sometimes get sound sensitivity. I know there may be a migraine component but I just suspect it could also be related to pppd. Is that ever a factor with pppd?
Hi Julie, that's a good question. Light and sound sensitivity are pretty common with people who have PPPD from my experience. They're indications that the brain is extra sensitive to threat. I think the best approach is probably overall stress reduction/dealing with emotions and consistently reminding yourself that you're safe. Somatic tracking can be tricky to apply in this case so a shortcut would be, "This symptom is my brain sending me a false alarm."
So it’s a normal phenomenon as well as neurological? I was told by my ENT that I failed eyes closed rhomberg and Fukada step test as I have a dehiscence in my ear.
This is the only symptom I have left. My dizziness went away a while ago but the bouncy floor has not went away. 😭 Some days it’s better then others. If I get really great sleep for a while sometimes I don’t even really feel it.
I have balance issues/dizzyness/palpitations at the bottom right back of my head/lightheadedness/sensitive to low-yellow tunnel lights/lack of oxygen in the brain feeling. All this will trigger everyday,few hours after waking up.Im stressed up!
Hello, I live in a building and after an earthquake, I started to feel all these simptons, I feel the trampoline walking, and I feel like the floor is moving, sometimes I feel like I'm on a boat, the only place I feel well is in my car, can you help me?
Hi Kevin, I am so sorry that you are experiencing this, but I am glad you found me! I would recommend getting checked out to rule out any medical issues first.

@@TheSteadyCoach thank you for your response, I went to the ENT doctor and everything is fine, went to the neurologist, Mri is normal, the doctor said everything is fine and that I just need to relax. I started your course and now I feel 70% better, I even started to run again without afraid of falling, thank you!
@@ThePurpleElephantt hello!, I still feel the trampoline walking and bouncing but it is not as intense as it was before. What it has helped me to get rid of the majority of the simptons is not focusing on them, do your normal activities and believe that you are fine, it is just your brain sending you false alarms.

Hi again. I still get the floaty head feeling either slighty or more noticeably walking forward a year after vestibular neuritis confirmed by ENT doc as linked to reactivated virus following covid vaccination. Most of the time it doesn't bother me too much but when i think it has reduced to a remnant and then i feel it more I wonder if it will ever really go completely. i think one of your videos said that these fluctuations can be a sign of things getting better.? As i said before, i do tai-chi, yoga and some of your VR exercises and meditations.
The information you give is really helpful and important in understanding the condition Yonit and reassuring. I don't really get anxious about it...but sometimes get days when my mood feels quite low, saying that i do suffer from background depression which is usually under control with low dose antidepressants...
which i believe from reading articles is often offered to treat PPPD anyway.
i suppose Im saying that i am coping well, but i do find it frustrating and baffling to still have it present ( at least 2 out of 10 if i had to say how it felt most of time) So any further reassurance you can give us Yonit is always very welcome. Ann
Exactly this have been happening to me, once I stand to walk it seems I lost hold of my body and just doesn't feel like I'm the one walking, did an MRi and everything came back good...this only started after the antibiotics I took for gut issues and it makes me so anxious and just makes me want to curl into my bed and don't go no where. Thank you so much
This is a very disturbing sensation, I know. It really helps to understand it’s a harmless brain error (as long as medical issues have been ruled out).
Just what I needed, dizziness came back after almost healing completely. But I'll beat it again. Thanks doc
Yes, you can! The recovery process looks different for everyone and just because it came back again does not mean it is here to stay. If you haven't already checked out my free course, I would highly recommend it to help you on your journey members.thesteadycoach.com/
Hi, May I ask what did you to go away first time ? I hate this walking on the boat feeling
When I first got this in 2010, I described it as "it feels like the ground is moving under my feet" and I feel like no one ever had any idea what i was talking about. It also sometimes feels like I"m being blown by the wind. These days during this reoccurrence I am feeling it more in my legs, like, localized to my legs rather than my whole body which is also really weird.
omg that’s exactly how i feel! i feel it my entire body now rather than my legs.
is it better now?
Excellent video. After tapering off a ton of benzodiazepines walking has felt like being on a ship at sea. Neuropathy has def not helped. The more i know the more it helps.
Thanks so much for the explanation.
You're so welcome, Jessica! I am so glad that you found this helpful! Thank you for trusting me with your healing!
This is truly a wonderful description of the problem
I wondered as my right eye is a little bit weaker than my left if that is impacting my not being able to walk more normal and having these sensation you describe. It’s making me crazy and my life is so limited right now. Thanks for your videos! You give me hope and I am grateful
It’s unlikely that an imbalance in your near vision (if that is what you mean) is causing dizzinsss- brains can compensate for one eye being weaker.
I also feel this, walking is weird for me too! I have chronic boat-feeling dizziness, causing me to feel as if i am walking on a trampoline. I feel so fatigued from it. I have so many issues, moved, and divorced so who knows if it's trauma or It may be neck related since it feels heavy, working with an atlas chiropractor. To add I had iron deficiency about 6 months ago and although my levels are optimal I can't rule out a little bit also adding to this ...help!
Hi Caroline, I am sorry you are going through this. My first recommendation is to take my free course if you haven't already. All of my techniques and recommendations are condensed into this course. Over 1600 people have taken it and we have received great feedback. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Hi Caroline, I feel just like you. I also think it's related to the neck. I think it may be cervical instability that's causing this.
What did you do? And how are you now?
@@UncleBobby0 how are you? And @carolinevillamar9230 ? I also struggle with my neck
Marshmallow is a good description of what it feels like. More great content as usual!
Thank you, Paula!
May I ask do you feel better?
Awesome video dr. Yoooooo (do you get that a lot 😜)
Speaking of diminishing reacting to your symptoms, I had this great week last week, of totally putting the symptoms on the back burner, felt so good. Hands were warm (they are often cold cause you know), neck tension was minimal, feeling of disiquilibrium was minimal, all that. And this week, the contrary! It's almost laughable. All part of the ups and downs of the condition. But, at least, it shows that it can get better. I just wish I could be a little more sustained.
We'll keep at it. Thank you for all you do.
Exactly, Philippe! It is all parts of the ups and downs and completely normal part of recovery. You are on the right track!
@@TheSteadyCoach forgot to ask, do you recommend, as an added level of difficulty, the next progression level if you will, to do the exercices on a foam pad?
I have cervicogenic spondylosis/arthritis that is causing my annoying walking imbalance. I definitely need to "consistently" do these exercises amongst others.
Thank you for all the recommendations your channel has helped me tremendously
I am so glad, Frances! You're very welcome!
can you do a video on motion sickness/motion sensitivity?
Hi Chelsey, sure, I think that would be a good topic.
I have this almost every day. It's so miserable. I'm pretty sure I could manage with these symptoms if I didn't feel so nauseas.. But as a child I had issues with motion sickness...I'm a car and on rides..
Finally I have an explanation for my symptoms. I had this very symptom back in 2016 which came about suddenly and was accompanied with cloudiness or fogginess in my head and dizziness. Every time I would walk I could feel the floor moving up and down much like how an elevator would stop at a floor you could feel it at your feet. I had a panic attack at the time as I thought it was a brain tumour. Went to the three different doctors and not one had ever heard of this symptom before and I was the first patient that ever said so. I had cleared all the medical tests to much of my relief. However my GP sent me off to the Phycologist where he thought I had a Conversion disorder. The symptom finally went away 3 years after however I still get dizziness/headaches.
I'm sorry you went through this, but I am glad that you are finding some answers now.
Hi how did your symptoms go away?
@@yvonnebrewer5604 with time. I didn’t do anything differently.
My problem is a bit more tricky....I have had this dizziness for a while but have recently(2 months ago) had lens replacements in both eyes. I then managed to rupture my achilles tendon and am in a boot....I feel shaky and disorientated.most of the time.
I have cervical dystonia, for which I have had two neck surgeries, Botox injections every 3 months and neuro-based physical therapy. My head and neck are now pretty straight but I still FEEL twisted and so my walking feels very strange (feel like feet hitting floor too hard etc.) and my balance is bad. Why do I FEEL like I am twisted to the left even though I am actually looking straight ahead?
Hey Dr., do you have any recommendations on any vitamins or supplements to take that could help with this? I tried taking Riboflavin, Magnesium Glycinate, and COQ10 and they all gave me anxiety like not other and I still had constant brain fog. I'm just trying any holistic remedy to see what works, thanks in advance!
First of all thank you. As my dizzy symptoms have subsided my anxiety has become unbearable at times. Do you have a video touching on this? Thank you for all your videos.
Ask Dr. Yo: why is my anxiety getting WORSE during my recovery and what should I do about it? th-cam.com/video/AxoX4uM4I3Q/w-d-xo.html
Hi guys, I'm back here bc I wanna tell you there is hope. Yes you can recover.
Yes, Ahmed!!
May I ask how long did it take and what helped you?
@@Rose-gc8og my onset was on the 8th of Feb, felt much better March the 15th. There were setbacks. Then in late April I felt perfectly normal. But, sadly, a week later, symptoms were back with a vengeance, then just today I can say I feel much better again. I don't know what this means, but I hope the improvement will last and get better until I feel normal again.
@@Rose-gc8og also I don't know specifically what helped me bc as you may know it's hard to get a diagnosis for this damn thing. I tried a bunch of things, such as medications and last thing I did was taking the free course of dr yonit. I didn't finish it just midway I felt I was improving to a degree where normal state was just another the corner coming on its own and I didn't feel like I needed to complete it.
@@UncleBobby0 Hello Ahmed, I'm from Tunisia.. Can I have your contact? it's very helpful when you meet someone talking the same language..
Can someone please help me with vertigo. I have tried everything but it comes back! I was wondering if Acupuncture actually helps
I have been feeling very weird when I walk since past 1 & half year post covid. I felt like I have lost my control over my body. I am doing your free course. I have been finding answers to all these issues over long period of time. My most of the test came normal. I didn't went for MRI or something but mostly blood tests. Now I feel like I can make a comeback from this weird feeling 24/7. Thanks a lot 🙂
You can!!!
May I know Has it gotten any better after 1 and half year ?
@@Rose-gc8og it has definitely got better. But still not 100%. Still face issues sometimes
These videos are such a fantastic resource. Ive been diagnosed with PPPD stemming from severe vestibular migraine which are always triggered by visual stimulus. I'm noticing that sitting on anything unsteady (I.e. an office chair that slightly spins), laying down without my feet flat on the bed or just closing my eyes triggers my dizziness. It's also worse in low light. Before the PPPD triggered, I had very heavy daily screen use and low physical activity due to my other health conditions. My Dr described it as my system being overestimulated and that it needs time to calm down but your advice on the systems being out of balance makes sense with my triggers. Is it possible that my visual input has been massively overworked and now in overdrive and my brain is struggling to balance the other two inputs in the equation? And then would I be right in thinking the best thing I can do is these types of exercise that help to build up that input again? Thank you again!
Hi there! I don't think of PPPD as a purely physical problem caused by overusing someone's senses (it is very common for physicians to think about it that way). Sure, overstimulation might be been part of the story, but life stressors play a huge role IMO. Exercises like you describe are a lovely way of helping your brain adapt, but I also take the view that addressing life stress is a very important component of ensuring that your brain has the resources to rewire. If you take a look at this video, it sums it up! th-cam.com/video/4QDFGvHGURc/w-d-xo.html
@@TheSteadyCoach I'll definitely be doing my best to address all the stress plus the physical inputs! Thank you so much :)
Do you know anything about MCS or how to calm it? I've been fighting for my life for 4 years now because of mold, heavy metals, trauma and chronic stress
Yes. MCS is typically a neural circuit condition that responds to exactly the same methods I talk about on my channel. What triggered/started the syndrome can be biological (mold, for example), but that's not usually what causes them to become chronic. The nervous system is often responsible for that chronicity.
@TheSteadyCoach I feel like I'm dying a slow miserable death... I'm in constant pain and I don't know how to fix it.
I have chronic sciatica and when I get a feeling of trampoline walking I can usually be sure that my blood pressure is suddenly going up very high and my senses go on overdrive
Are you doing one on anxiety muscle tension
Yes, Tom, that's a big topic and one I'm going to make a video on. The first one will probably be an Ask Dr. Yo video (my series of Q&A videos).
Great information. I have had testing and turns out my right ear had no vestibular function and my left ear had a weak response to vestibular testing. Is this something that, with treatment, I could re-again balance?
Hi! I am soooo greatful for your course and all the video's. I never had a diagnose but when i heard of the symptoms i just cried because this is my story. So recognizable! I've been in a burnout for the past 10 months and i have much stress lately and i was walking on the street the other day and i felt so weird in my head. Like i was pulled to one side, i wanted to walk in a straight line but in my head i was pulled to one side. So i stopped (i got really scared, afraid that i couldn't make it to my car) and tried to walk again. It happened again but a little less. After that day i am scared to walk, i am hyper focussing on my head and body. I've had it a couple of times now. Is this something you hear often and is it also treatable? Thank you so much! Gr Ingrid
Hi Ingrid, welcome and I am SO happy to hear everything has helped. It sounds like your brain had every reason to be in "danger mode" right now and YES it is reversible. The pulling to one side feeling is definitely a symptom I see with neural circuit dizziness, and it goes away with the others.
I have that imbalance feeling and I got scared too! Feeling like walking on a boat after the vaccine.
@@puppyforever7101MINE started after having Covid, along with some family issues like taking care of an Autistic Grandson ! It's a yr now...started with the feeling of being On a boat to now it's Trampoline Walking ALL the TIME !! Waiting for the Chiropractor appt , MRI & Eply cleared me...I wonder if it's in my Neck ! I get sooo Desperate at times..soooo tired of this OVERTAKNG MY LIFE !!! But I will NEVER Give Up !!
For me it feels like walking on a cloud or as if the wind is carrying me. My legs feel constantly weak and heavy, and it's really annoying because I normally love walking 😔 I wonder if this is because the legs have to do more work now, trying to balance me when I feel unbalanced.
how are you now??
While driving of Bike. The speed of bike effects on my stomach and head. its like imbalance of body and i fell as i fell down and condition of spinning head occurs. its also effect me while I walking. i cannot walke straight. mostly when I drive the bike I cannot ride right side. my mind automaticaly moves it toward other direction. what is it
Hi!! I have had this trampoline walking, motion boat rocking (whatever you want to call it) for over a year and it’s super debilitating. Have had all the medical tests under the sun and all are clear. I just have a question on the exercises - how often would you recommend doing them? And, do them all in the same sequence or choose a few to focus on? Also (sorry), is the parasympathetic breathing still worthwhile with this symptom? Thanks so much!
Hi Emma, I don't usually prescribe exercises to people for this kind of thing and they are only part of what I suggest for recovery so the best advice I have is to consider taking the free course. It'll give you some ideas about how to build this into a recovery plan. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Do your patients experience bad coordination and proprioception? Like needing to attempt to turn a light off or pick their phone up 2 or 3 times?
Yes definitely! The brain is working extra hard to interpret information from the senses and this can make it not as accurate in its conclusions about where things are in space.
I have a mitochondrial disease causing peripheral neuropathy and opthamalplasia. I feel drunk most days. Can these exercises help me?
Hii doctor yonit your explanations are fantastic doctor I want to know is pppd is life long and do u met with patient who is totally symptoms free with no relapse?
You're so welcome, and no, from my perspective, PPPD is curable. It is completely normal to have dizziness throughout your life even if you don't have PPPD. Think of it like a headache. You might still get a headache now and then, but that's normal, and the preoccupation with the discomfort goes away. It's not really about the symptoms themselves going away as much as it is your brain not overreacting anymore.
I more feel like I’m wearing a backpack and it feels like someone is pulling on the straps but also feel like I’m lifted up… not good. Also when driving and I stop I feel like the car is still moving like when the car next you moves and it feels like you are but nobody is moving.

I wonder if Meclizine would hurt the recovery process of PPPD. I was gonna take it for BPPV (vertigo) that I’m currently experiencing. But don’t want to take it if it interferes with PPPD recovery. What are your thoughts on this Dr. Yonit? Should I just stick with the Epley maneuver?
Taken temporarily, it will be fine!
Hi doctor, I have been dealing with this trampoline floor thing for 2 months now. I had light and sound sensitivity, daily headaches, head pressure and daily nausea the first month. I still get headaches occasionally. I also still get nausea but not daily. What should I do? I'm so worried. Can I stay like this??
Hi Ahmed, this will help. th-cam.com/video/4QDFGvHGURc/w-d-xo.html
how are you now dealing with same thing?
@The Steady Coach..I feel bouncy feeling starting from my feet to till waist it feels.....more in shopping mall and after elevator journey..and whole body suddenly feels uneasiness ? Any thought??. It's a weird feeling I get and feels me nervous.. And also I have problem of balance while walking.. Pls guide me . I had MRI brain and spine done which are normal. I had vitamin b12 and d3 deficiency last year and it started since then. Now vit levels are fine but still balance and bouncy feelings issue persist
Sounds like neural circuit symptoms to me. Have you seen any of my other videos yet? I think this one is a good summary of my advice: th-cam.com/video/JjkLWytDlos/w-d-xo.html
If you have trampoline walking, should you do the tandem walking with your eyes closed, is that good or bad for you?
It's good for you.
Thank you so much again! I have mdds and I think that anxiety is a huge factor. Maybe you have an idea why mdds is worse after travelling with car/train/plain..etc? And what we can do while travelling? Thank you!!
Hi Claudi, it gets worse while traveling because the vestibular system has to do some adjusting any time you're moving at different speeds. Even people without symptoms often have odd sensations- in fact 80% of people have rocking after they get off a boat. The difference is that their nervous systems say, "False alarm!" and the symptoms go away. Your nervous system is thinking the symptoms mean something so it's turning the volume up on them. The most important thing you can do is recognize that this is a false alarm, but all of the other things I talk about here on my channel can help. I have had others ask about traveling so I plan to make a video about it, but it all boils down to making sure your nervous system feels safe.
Hi @TheSteadyCoach
Do your patients ever state that they can't "intentionally" trigger the symptoms? In other words, if they try to trigger the symptoms Infront of you they can't? But they happen when they aren't thinking about it, or when they are distracted by something else?
Sure, this is very typical. Some people can trigger them with stress or thinking about them, but many others can't.
i feel weird while walking but no headache but some times dizziness i go to the doctor he told nothing is serious so still i dont understand what the problem is can you help plz ????
Hi Dr I’ve been experiencing dizziness 24/7 it happened to me 3 months ago out of nowhere I’ve been doing vestibular therapy and it’s helping. It reduces my symptoms but not by a lot. I have good days and then bad days. My MRI results also came back normal. I feel constant dizziness no matter if I’m in bed sitting walking( which makes it worse when I walk for a long time) also my vision is shaky it reduces but sometimes it flares up a lot and I’m unsure what I have. Plz help out thank you
Hi Lucas, it's awesome to hear the VRT is helping a bit, but in my experience, that doesn't always help calm the nervous system- and that is a key component to healing.

I have this chronic dizziness...it's making anxiety so high for me...do you help people one on one?
I’ve found that’s part of the cycle. Dizziness causes anxiety and the anxiety continues to fuel the dizziness. Watch all her videos. She explains everything so well and it can help you in the moments of distress/ anxiety and remind yourself of the truth that you are okay. You will get better. You are just stuck in the circuit cycle she speaks of. Of course go to the doctor and make sure nothing is wrong. I am just speaking of my experience with two and a half years of dizziness and endless doctor appointments that thankful have found nothing wrong.
Hi Barbar, I am so sorry that you are experiencing this and dizziness can fuel anxiety and vice versa. I do offer online one on one sessions and you can join my waitlist or schedule directly with my colleague, Dr. Lisa (who is amazing and practices the same techniques as I do) at my website thesteadycoach.com/. Also, if you have not already done so, I would recommend checking out my free course on healing chronic dizziness. It lays out all of my recommendations in a condensed format and is 100% free. You can find the course here: members.thesteadycoach.com/
I still can’t figure out if it’s my neck causing the dizziness and balance issues or if it’s neural circuit dizziness. I get vertigo when I keep my head turned for too long, or if I look down for too long, but so many of these others symptoms of pppd sound like me too. It’s been so long dealing with these things it just feels hopeless sometimes.
It can be so tough to figure it out. My best advice is to make sure you get it fully investigated to make sure there is not something physical going on, but I've seen a lot of people have neck related dizziness that ended up just being a neural circuit issue.
@@TheSteadyCoach is there still hope if it is structural? I was diagnosed with craniocervical instability and have had these issues for a decade now. But I feel the symptoms are so much worse in times of stress and anxiety.

How r u now
Hi Dr. Yo. My head often feels totally disconnected and floaty-like. Can that be the pppd or from the brain surgeries? Even though my body knows how to walk, I still use the walker because of this heightened sensation. Thanks in advance.
Hi Jeanne, I would definitely defer to your doctors in your specific case, but I can tell you that the floaty, derealized symptom is a VERY common symptom among people with neural circuit dizziness. Try not to let it scare you. Remind yourself that your brain is just trying to figure out what the information from your senses means.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you so much.
hello from france I have a question for you , why pppd cause a light sensitivity ?
I have pain in my eyes when the weather is cloudy it's too bright for me.
thank you
Hi Yoan, I have a video on visual symptoms- I don't specifically talk about light sensitivity but the same principles apply! If the nervous system is in "threat mode" then it puts too much emphasis on the eyes. th-cam.com/video/MsWYyDWuu_s/w-d-xo.html
You any better. I get that same thing. What do you have just pppd? I had nueritis and transformed to this.
What happens if a blind person suffers from vestibular disorders?
Not sure if I’m walking differently now but over the past few months I’ve had knee & foot pain , my dizziness has been an issue for about 3 years now …. 🤔
Hi DJ, this is quite common, MANY of my folks with chronic dizziness have or have had pain as well. While often medical professionals will blame this on your walking, I have rarely found this to be the case. Pain and dizziness, when they are chronic, have the same source= a nervous system that is extra sensitive to threat. The techniques I talk about on my channel help chronic pain as well.
Hello Dr. Yo,
Is it normal for neural circuit dizziness symptoms such as marshmallow walking to vary in intensity? And is it possible that the symptoms are sometimes overshadowed by other physical complaints and are then no longer felt? What are your experiences in relation to this?
Hi Dani, OH yes, this is extremely common and one of the hallmarks of neural circuit dizziness! It's one of the ways I can tell that someone has it- symptoms come and go, and other physical ailments that have no medical explanation pop up.
@@TheSteadyCoach because of the nervous system in "false alarm" mode?
Hi, May I ask are you recovered?

Is somatic tracking kind of like acceptance? Or passive acceptance?
Hi Janice! It is a form of acceptance! But the difference between regular acceptance and this type is that it takes it a step further and assumes that when we do meet the symptoms where they are and lose our fear, that will actually lead to our brain re-wiring and removing the symptoms.
Walk can woresen the symptoms mam
Surfing, even though not on water🤷🏻♀️
Not a fun thing, I know!
Hi doctor.. I feel as if springs are there in my legs.. Why do i feel like that? That feeling comes while standing and walking and it feels so irritating..
I used to use earpods a lot and do you think this might be the reason?
And is this spring kinda feeling.. Is walking on trampoline?
That spring feeling is exactly the one people describe here. It’s not from headphones- it is from the issue described in this video.

Is there any way sinus issues can cause this ?
Sinus issues can cause dizziness, yes!
@@TheSteadyCoach Thanks for responding. I am like the rest been through the MRI’s and CT scans and balance test all came back fine. CT showed some sinus blockage. Doctor diagnosed PPPD. Tried vestibular therapy and SSRI. Nothing works unless I do saline nasal flush daily and I feel 80 percent better but not 100. Doctors are saying it’s not the sinuses. It’s weird because I get all the symptoms. Everyone else does with a PPPD. Very frustrating.
Also I can go 3 or 4 days totally symptom free and then wake up the next morning and it’s back again.
mines comes from stress, anxiety,
Thank you for this! I had marshmallow walking at one point and it feels so bizarre. One of my main symptoms is currently light sensitivity. Do you think somatic tracking could be applied to that? I have done somatic tracking for chronic pain before. The light sensitivity gets worse at night and then I also sometimes get sound sensitivity. I know there may be a migraine component but I just suspect it could also be related to pppd. Is that ever a factor with pppd?
Do you have OCD
Hi Julie, that's a good question. Light and sound sensitivity are pretty common with people who have PPPD from my experience. They're indications that the brain is extra sensitive to threat. I think the best approach is probably overall stress reduction/dealing with emotions and consistently reminding yourself that you're safe. Somatic tracking can be tricky to apply in this case so a shortcut would be, "This symptom is my brain sending me a false alarm."
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you for the insight!
Hi Julie. May I ask how long have you had that marshmallow floor feeling? And what did you do to go away? Really appreciate 🙏🏻

They are actually a bit different, but both definitely arising from the same mechanism I described here in this video.
I get this walking in the dark.
Very common!
So it’s a normal phenomenon as well as neurological? I was told by my ENT that I failed eyes closed rhomberg and Fukada step test as I have a dehiscence in my ear.
Walking on the water……
