Slim Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hello Folks I also have balance and depth perception problems. Things are always a lot worse when I'm tired. By chance the physio I was involved with (Ankle Sprain) was a specialist in Balance issues. He have me some exercises which I now know are called, VRT, Vestibular Rehabilation Therapy. I am finding them very helpful and my balance has improved massively. I do feel emotional and Nauseaus (you know what I mean) when I do the exercises but this has gradually got better. In the Experts words. This excerpt is in relation to Labyrinthitis Vestibular rehabilitation therapy If your symptoms are persistent, vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) - a form of 'brain re-training' - may help. VRT is a special programme of exercises that encourage your brain to adapt to the abnormal messages sent from your ears. The therapy requires you to keep moving, despite feelings of dizziness and vertigo. (Nhs.uk) Hope this helps. Aine x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hi Further to my balance problems I saw my GP today who did various neurological tests and confirmed I was unsteady on my feet, also he said I had no reflexes in my legs (don't really know what that means). He also told me that I was neurologically quite well so hopefully my re coiling will be done soon and I can get on with my life, if I've got to use a walking stick so be it I can live with that.
