Glad you hear you are doing better. We routinely recommend having a therapist do the Epley maneuver. It can be very helpful if the condition is the crystals. Epley does not involve neck manipulation.

I've never heard of the other procedures. I looked them up. Semont is similar to Brandt Daroff. Epley is the roll on the floor maneuver.

The goal is like you are trying to get a grain of sand out of a snail shell. You need to tip the shell in the correct way to move the grain.

One site suggest a progression. The Epley should be tried first. If it does not work, the Semont should be tried. The Brandt Daroff should be the last option.

Here is another web site that includes the Foster half-somersault and a 5th he calls the full-circle.

Home treatment of BPPV

It is important to be careful doing these. If you notice any numbness or tingling, STOP. There is a head/neck position that can precipitate a stroke in some people by pinching the vertebral artery.
