I've recently been having the epely maneuver done but without the help of the chair.
The therapist did a full assessment before determining that I would benefit. Her opinion was that I had BPPV (the displaced crystals - mark's analogy of marble is good). But on top of that she feels that there is also some structural damage to the nerve & neurological damage.
So the good news is that I have had improvements in my dizziness! But it did not happen overnight and I had a few days where i was worse than ever. That's not uncommon. I am now doing exercises to "desensitize" my brain's reaction to the dizziness. Retraining my brain to ignore the incorrect balance info.
I have described more of my experience in another post titled, "NUCCA, vestibular and active release therapies".
All that to say, it's worth checking into.
