Ever heard of 'unwinding' an inner ear problem?

I've had a very slight ear imbalance problem since giving birth to DS nearly a year ago. (When I lay down it gets a little swimmy iyswim). I was told there are pills available to correct it but as I'm BF and it's not that serious I chose not to take them.

I've since heard that there's a way to 'cure' it by unwinding the imbalance - literally rolling forward, backward, sideward, whatever in sequence to replicate the inner ear... and thus levelling out the liquid in the ear which causes the imbalance.

I've tried googling it but haven';t found anything. Was I just fed a load of bollocks, or does anyone know anything about this...?

I think that the phrase you are looking for is: epley's manoeuver

www.ehow.com/video_7710460_inner-ear-yoga-balance.html any good?

have heard of it but never known of anybody having it done. i think it works if you have calcium deposits that need moving out of the area

My Dad had epley manouvres performed on him
Very successful

Brilliant stuff, thanks everyone! Smile

RailwayChild, was your Dad's problem this balance thing or the calcium deposits as mentioned above?

It was canoliths which are deposits. I think the unwinding is bollocks explanation personally :) but the unwinding does same as epley ?

I had this done at the docs - solved my inner ear problems for about a year which was great! She thought my problems were down to calcium deposits.
