- Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT uses this short video to walk you through how to safely and accurately perform a Left Epley Maneuver at home to resolve positional dizziness related to Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) affecting the left ear.
You can find our in depth full course on How to Treat Positional Vertigo here: balancing-act-...
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.

Thank you Danielle! My wife has dealt with this issue for years and we have been to numerous specialists. Your video helped us bring a long episode to an expedited end. For those reading this in the midst of a difficult time - know that in our case, it took several days of repeatedly completing the exercise shown here. For my wife, she would complete a single session (exactly as shown in this video), then sit down with her head straight for two hours, then repeat another single session. Over a few days the symptoms consistently improved with every session and eventually went away 100%. Based on what we've read (and experienced), for some a single session will do it - for others it can take longer. Also, making sure you follow the instructions exactly as shown in the video helps - as you can unintentionally extend the episode by not completing the exercise as instructed. Lastly, I wish anyone reading this in the midst of an episode - quick relief! Tthank you once again Danielle for taking the time to share this outstanding video with all of us.
I deal with this periodically and had to revisit TH-cam for a refresher on how to do this maneuver. It does work! This is the second time it’s helped me.
Unbelievable! I did it first for the left side because that’s where I thought the problem was. Nothing changed. Then I did it for the right side, and it worked 100%. You have no idea how grateful I am 🙏
I woke up *spinning* in my bed had no idea what was happening. These exercises absolutely settled my equilibrium it's such a huge relief!
how to determine if it's left or right???
@@ecclesiarimporok1771do both sides .
I boarded a train to go home . I rolled left. The world became terrifying. I felt I wa doing barrel rolls. It was sudden . Never experienced anything like it. I was convinced it was a tumor. I understand it's my ear
You should try the Dix-Hallpike maneuver! @@ecclesiarimporok1771

It's an awful exercise to have to do because you feel so much worse during it but it absolutely works!!! Thank you for a clear explanation!
I did not feel anything so that my dizziness cause is different?
@@GAMERGUY2309I’ve read you may have to do it several times and both sides . Also there are other inner ear causes for pretty much the same symptoms.
I am crying. I'm so dizzy. I never imagined anything so awful. It is freaking me out.
Oh it was horrible. Beyond horrible.
Discombobulating at first but so worth it when it is successfully done
Adding this video to my saved library- it took me ages to find it again. I first used it a year ago and it was awesome. My vertigo is back this week, and I’m doing this to put a stop to it. Years of problems that the epley maneuver fixes quickly- have to do it every year or so… just long enough to forget the steps and your clear instructions are so helpful! Thank you!
Had problems with my head spinning when I lay down and nearly fell out of the bed turning on my side, because I was so dizzy. Did this once and it worked straight away - gobsmacked! Thank you so much!
Thank you Danielle! I have experienced occasional dizziness for a few years. I was treated with the Epley once at a physicians office. Since then, I've used your methods with great results.
Absolutely the finest (clearest and most concise) explanation of how to treat vertigo. Doesn't get lost in tech-speak. Thank you Danielle!
❤ I am amazed at how easy this was to follow. I decided to try this after being unable to find an ENT or any medical professional until 3 weeks out.
It only took me 3 x of doing the maneuver to fix my left ear vertigo.
It was clear the first time I did it, which ear was the problem. Thank you for being so helpful!!!
This was how my physical therapist did it! I needed a refresher in order to realign the crystals yet again and your video was the best representation I saw. Thank you so very much ❤❤❤
Finally someone who chooses to show how it should be done and look when your left ear is the problem! It should be easy to do if shown how to do the right, but it's much better to actually see how to do it with a visual and verbal explanation for the left. Thank You!
I am so grateful for this video. I had to watch it several times before I had the courage to do it. I am so glad I did. My vertigo disappeared. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the long and short versions of this maneuver! This helped my husband after an ER visit that left his dizziness, spinning sensation unresolved. They never attempted this simple test after negative CT and stroke screening among other things. He performed this maneuver three times and feels so much relief!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge in the most concise and practical way. This procedure worked on my left ear after first try and my vertigo disappeared. Hopefully it stays that way. Many thanks.
Thank you thank you! I can’t believe how well this works! Really easy to follow directions.
I've had the Vertigo for a couple years and just figured out thus was needed to correct it. Here goes 🌺
Thank you very much for this video. I have used your video twice now when my vertigo has recurred. It makes be feel more confident that using the video I can treat myself. It is much appreciated.
Thank you very much for the short version. I wrote it down and had my husband read it to me as I did the exercise. It worked immediatly and then got a great shoulder, neck rub afterwards.
Good idea! I need to write it down too!
Thank you soooo much for this and related videos!!! I did the left ear Epley one time as you demonstrated and 3 weeks of horrible vertigo spells ended instantly! (Already had done a week of the Lempert/ BBQ maneuver but without results). I had a doctor's diagnosis but no instructions what to do - thank you much for this resource!
Thank you so much for this video, it has been very helpful for helping with my dizziness, God bless you!
Hi!! I looked at many videos and yours was the easiest for me to do. Did it yesterday and it worked!! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the detailed instructions, after care and science behind the technique. You are awesome!!
My doctor gave me this link to use at home in case the manoeuvre done in the office didn’t take.
I did it twice over two days.
I think it worked this time as I had violent vertigo on step 1, moderate on step 3 and none on the final sit up but I do feel slightly odd.
Here’s hoping as this has been miserable.
THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO ON the EPLEY MANOUVRE ! I NEVER WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT WOULD WORK, UNTIL I TRIED. ONE SIDE EACH DAY, DID the JOB. I BELIEVE this HAPPENED WHILE WORKING ON MY BACK UNDER MY TRUCK. ROLLING BACK and FORTH SIDE to SIDE.
After one attempt, and one finished, I threw up! Keep a bag near by!
I feel LOTS better today, so I am now going to attempt to do another..😬
This is excellent. Thanks for sharing this resource to patients as well as therapists like myself.
Thank you this has helped a lot - unless it was the potato chips I ate (it wasn't a controlled experiment!)
Research found that this is caused by prolonged posture problem. There is a mudgle along the side of the throat that needs to be fully stretched. Its at an angle between the jaw and throat region of thr vlavicle. You need yo look over each shoulder and sort of tilt your head in a certain way to really feel it and it is important to do. If you work in bed or at a computer youll need reminders.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you - This worked after one round!
Is there a possibility of blacking out from the spinning?
just adding to the positive reviews that this eliminated my vertigo that first appeared four years ago (and went away unknowingly) but now I know of a surefire procedure to fix it whenever it happens again
Thank you so much. It worked the first time
Thanks so much! It worked after one exercise.
It's scary! I sit back up as soon as the dizziness starts. I did a modified version where I'm lying flat on my pillow and doing the head turns with mild dizziness. I need to do it correctly though. - One more thing, on the first move I can hear noises in my right ear (problem ear), is that indication of the crystals moving?
I get dizzy when I roll my head to the right but not when I get up on my shoulder and then I get dizzy again when I sit up
These work great for me. Keeps bpp at bay fir s couple years before I have to do it again.
Great video only comment would be to pull you hair back in pony tail so we can see your head position when you move to face down on your side. Thank you again great job
How long can this dizziness typically last? My wife seems to have had it for the past 6 months or so... any ideas? Thanks foe the video!
I did this exercise and it made the vertigo worse and I feel really nauseous. I wonder if I do it backwards,will it reverse things?
Thanks so much, question: how often should you do this and if it does improve, should you continue doing it and if so, for how long and how often please?
I wonder the same 🙏
How can you tell which ear is the problem? All I know is I get dizzy when rolling over in bed. Should I treat both my right and left ear with this maneuver?
Thank you
Thank you so much for this. I had the epley a couple of years ago at the PT, but they stopped seeing people due to covid. My sister gave me another one at home. She is a PT assistant. Within the past couple of months the lagging vision came back hard. I was scared to drive or even walk my dog. I no longer live near my sister so I looked up if I could do it myself. I followed your instructions and have done it 3 times. It is like a black cloud has lifted. I have a question though. So I never want the bppv to return, is the epley safe to do monthly or weekly to keep it at bay?
How many times I need to do daily?
How many times do we do this each day? (Or up to how many times could we do)
hi danielle, how do you approach the exercises if both ears are affected? do i have to do one ear a day?
Hello how many times this should be done. Thanks
Can I do home epley on both sides every day…having dizziness and BPPV
I seem to have both sides while testing so i did both. How long before i can expect some type of relief. Thank you. 😊
How do you know to do left ear or right?
how frequent should this be done?
how to determine if its left or right?
Thank you for the video. Question: how do you know which ear is the affected one?
She has another video that answers your question
Yes look for her that says right ear. It’s a longer version and explains other stuff like what you want to know
How many times you should do it in a day??
My sister is 32 years old and she has suffered from meniere disease for years and she always complains to me that I had to bought her Dr Madida herbs I saw on TH-cam and she is telling me last month that she is cured completely and don’t long have the symptoms like vertigo or dizziness😵💫, feeling of fullness in the ear or ringing, hearing loss, imbalance, motion sickness, nausea, or nystagmus.
What herbs ?! Where to look for it ?
Going to try it now after my vigorous yoga session gave me a vertigo episode. Hard to see your face and Chin so if you could tie your hair back on the next video.
I learned so much from the *Long Version* for right BPPV: th-cam.com/video/XZwMOVdwIq8/w-d-xo.html
The tips and progress indicators are invaluable, as is the use of a big model of the ear so that we can clearly understand what we are doing in the various positions and why.It really helps me to understand how to do the exercises correctly when I can visualize the movement of those crystals in my ear.
Also, other online demos do NOT include the critical "post-Epley" info to prevent you from un-doing your progress and "dumping" the crystals back into the wrong canal! But since my BPPV is on the left, this "short version" for the left is helpful--I'm not so good at retaining "mirror" info. Thanks!
Is it normal to still feel like hot garbage two hours after doing this?
Still dizzy do I do it again
Great video but asking to put pillow in center of bed what happens if you have a queen or king size??
You need to place the pillow under your shoulder blades and still be able to lie down
Move it closer to an edge I would guess it’s what I would do

What precautions should be taken so that one doesn't develop vertigrow at all
That’s the problem- in my case it looks like it runs in the family as my mother, grandmother and me have on and off vertigo episodes for most of our adult life - who knows
I think its caused by a dislodged crystal, so maybe its luck? Maybe more families are prone to it due to common lifestyle choices shared within the family
Unfortunately it’s random and might happen again. Watch out for high allergy seasons and when you have sinus infections. I just had Covid and it triggered it 😕.

Why in the world put up a demo video and then cover the head positions with text so it cannot be see? Written instructions can be obtained anywhere without the video demo. There are better videos on this.
The written instructions doesn’t cover her at all
Her approach and exercise examples were Excellent.
Not ONCE did the textual instructions cover her movements or examples.
Not sure what your true issue is with this clip..but could it be more Psychological, than physiological?
We wish you well..
