Who Put the World on Spin Cycle?

Vertigo & Dizziness

The short answer? Let's see how I can help.

The longer answer? When the room spins, finding the reason matters.

What You Might Notice

Spinning, unsteadiness, or dizziness with certain movements.

Why Does It Happen?

Inner-ear disorders and other medical conditions can cause vertigo.

How I Look at It

I can address associated neck tension when appropriate, but dizziness needs proper assessment.

Page in development: This is an initial educational overview. The full terrain-based explanation for vertigo & dizziness is still being written and reviewed.

Start with the right question

Dizziness has many possible causes; understanding which matters.

A symptom or diagnosis is a starting point, not a complete explanation of what is happening in one person's body. History, patterns of movement, tissue tolerance, medical factors, and daily demands can all influence what someone experiences.

Why context matters

Some symptoms have causes that require medical diagnosis or treatment. Others involve overlapping mechanical and functional factors. Medical Massage Therapy can be considered only where appropriate, and it is not a substitute for diagnosis or necessary medical care.

What we'll explore

As this page is developed, we'll look at the anatomy and physiology involved, common compensations, what to watch for, and where hands-on care may or may not fit.

Don't just ask where it hurts.

Ask why the body is working that way.
