Graded motor imagery is a powerful technique used by many people, including world class athletes, to improve how their brains and bodies communicate with one another. In athletes, this has been shown to significantly improve performance. In people with chronic conditions, graded motor imagery helps rewire the brain's responses to physical tasks. Using just the power of the mind, graded motor imagery can significantly reduce symptoms in response to triggering positions, movements or activities.

I did this exercise last night and was able to go out for a symptom free walk today! Thank you so much !

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

That's excellent, Val! Thank you for trusting me!

@alyeskakochanek Год назад

Wow, this was my first time doing graded motor imagery and I was so surprised to experience sensations of dizziness just imagining the activity! The mind is so powerful. Definitely going to start doing this practice regularly.

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

Alyeska, so glad you gave this a try! It's one of the ways I help people "diagnose" neural circuit dizziness- if it is a prediction error as I discuss, then imagining a triggering activity will often bring on symptoms.

@sdwl07 10 месяцев назад

Good lord Moses that was powerful. When I saw myself doing the task I instantly got anxious and felt my chest heat up. Then did a few deep breaths and it slowly went away. I opened my eyes at the end and had such a peaceful feeling. ❤

This was really great! I just discovered your channel and signed up for the lesson. I think this visualization is a great addition to the VRT I’m already doing. Thanks for providing it!

You are so welcome! Part 2 is on my to do list, but my to do list is very long!

Using this a lot atm as sensations sky high about almost everything! Thank x

@TheSteadyCoach 2 года назад

Hang in there, Sam. I know you know this, but it's temporary. It will come back down.

@kaysteele1091 2 года назад

I am loving all of your video sessions….you are so spot on in describing PPPD symptoms and while I am new to following you, I can already feel the benefits of all you teach.

@TheSteadyCoach 2 года назад

Oh, how wonderful to hear, Kay! Thank you for those kind words!

How are you ?

@susangearhart9971 2 года назад

Kitchen is my trigger. Hate to get up from my relaxation but time to feed the dogs and cook dinner

@TheSteadyCoach 2 года назад

Kitchens can be a big trigger because of all the patterns and all the turning and bending over! Sometimes it also has stressful associations.

@sammiller2617 2 года назад

Thank you. Just done this before I go into the fridge.....

So I am having a hard time going outside for more than 5 mins at a time. I had suspected vestibular neuritis 11 months ago but now pppd I think. I did this and as soon as I imagined myself doing the task (I picked walking outside) my body did the same response as it does outside head pressure feel faint and then panic. When I did this exercise laying on my bed I also felt as though my hands and head were giant 😂not sure about that sensation but I noticed it and watched it. It was so hard but I’m going to keep doing this. I do the same with somatic tracking but new to this. I’m in shock that my body responded the same way! Wow! Any tips on getting better outside dr yo? I feel light headed and faint outside many thanks 🙏 *update I just did this a second time and wow the sensations were dialled down a lot! Thanks dr yo going to keep doing this daily❤

@ktfo4620 Год назад

This was amazing! Will there be a second one?

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

It's on my list- I've been getting requests to make one for people who'd like accompaniment when doing exposure activities.

@ktfo4620 Год назад

@@TheSteadyCoach This has helped me immensely after no relief for 2 years and have been throw vrt and vision therapy. I can't thank you enough!

@meganobrien1019 Год назад

This was wonderful thank you 😊 is there a level 2? Also just wondering dr Yo, how many of these different exercises should we do In a day?- for instance ive come accross your somatic tracking video, the emotions tracking video, the walking video and now this one...would u recommend doing all of these in a day or is that "doing too many fixing activities " ?

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

Not yet, it's on my to do list. It's highly individual- when someone is housebound and unable to live life in any kind of normal capacity, I like giving that person some structure with doing more of these exercises. But yes, overdoing it at the expense of not living normally or doing any kind of non-dizziness/fatigue related activities is not beneficial. Rule of thumb for people- 1-2x a day if able to engage in some kind of normal activities, maybe 3x if not able to. But this is totally individual.

@Overlandwanderers 2 года назад

Hi newbie here. Self diagnosing as having PPPD already feels like a huge healing step forward 🙏 How often should we do this exercise?

@TheSteadyCoach 2 года назад

Hi there, welcome to my channel! It feels so good to know you're not alone. I recommend this exercise to people with fears of specific movements or activities, and I'd suggest doing it 1-2 times a day if it resonates. I incorporate it into the course- the course is 100% free, and if you have PPPD, it condenses everything in my channel into actionable steps. members.thesteadycoach.com if you want to sign up!

@joebarker4045 2 года назад

Is there a level 2?

@TheSteadyCoach 2 года назад

Not yet! You're the second person in 24 hours to ask about this, though, so it seems like it's time to record it!

Does this help BPPV?? I suffer daily with dizziness swaying feel like I’m on a ship. I make it like fast spins I wear glasses I have IBS I have Tmj I have sinus issues which is a deviated septum with bones bars on both sides. I have migraines, so don’t know if any of those are causing issues or what is going on. I know my ear is ringing a lot and everything looks fine. it all fine-fine.Idk why I have vertigo. I know that sucks. I also have arthritis in my neck. My neck does get flat out like today. It’s definitely cleared up to the weather issue, it does hurt they see it as well seeing any improvement and I’ve seen him for about 2 years now

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

Hi Ashley, from what you describe, your chronic symptoms are not BPPV. The more seemingly unrelated symptoms someone has, the more likely the cause is the nervous system being in danger mode. If it’s a nervous system sensitivity issue, this video will help.

@milkjelly829 Год назад

Hey Doc! My severe spinning symptom was dormant for about a year until today, since I can’t get out of bed, would you recommend this for now?

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

I am SO sorry, vertigo stinks. Yes- or somatic tracking!

@Waves353 8 месяцев назад

The sensations went sky high(they were high anyways, but neared full panic) is this ok and should I keep doing it? First time trying. I can even think of an activity and panic, is the aim of this exercise to eventually being down the response with the breathing etc Thank you Appreciate your videos ❤️

@TheSteadyCoach 8 месяцев назад

Tricky! I might give it another try and see if you can get a little more distance from it. Imagine someone else doing it rather than you, and stay with that. You can even imagine that person being on a TV screen and really far away at first.

@Waves353 8 месяцев назад

@@TheSteadyCoachthank you. Actually I’ve been trying to watch on screen, specifically someone driving or walking in an open space, even seeing an outdoor open space online gives me symptoms! Great video thank you

@fennax17 Год назад

Is it like normal that you feel yout nervous system move when you lay down?

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

Yes! Not fun, but yes.

@ryszka1 Год назад

Do you think using a VR headset at all would be bad during recovery because it could mess with your brains interpretation of movement and position?

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

Not from my perspective. The brain can adapt. But I think a lot of screen time is probably not healthy for us in general, so I would advise ANYONE, whether recovering from dizziness or not, to avoid extended use.

@ryszka1 Год назад

@@TheSteadyCoach Thanks for the response. Do you plan on doing a level 2 soon? and if not what would that look like?

@christbuilds7409 8 месяцев назад

I have menieres disease, movement only bothers me during dizziness or vertigo.

@TheSteadyCoach 8 месяцев назад

I get that. This kind of exercise will be less useful to you than some of the stress reduction techniques and emotional stuff I cover in the free course.

For those of us without good hearing, the music was so loud it was hard to relax and follow the words. Decreasing sound of music, then there's a strain to hear words. Thanks.

@TheSteadyCoach 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for your feedback! I don’t have this exercise without music unfortunately but I do have several somatic tracking ones and the graded exposure without music for exactly this reason.

@jenniferpullen559 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for this. I have trouble imaging. Do you have any suggestions? I tried imagining my nephew walking and then I tried to imagine myself walking as that is where I am currently struggling. I just felt like I was not able to imagine it very well. But I did the whole thing and I do feel some relief. I just wondered if I am doing it right.

@TheSteadyCoach 10 месяцев назад

I get that! Some people can't visualize easily. You can look at pictures instead, or watch videos of people doing the activity.
