Other names of exercise Sensory vestibular spinning
Description of exercise Sensory vestibular spinning exercise is a type of physical activity that involves spinning or rotating the body in various directions and at different speeds. This exercise is designed to improve balance, coordination, and spatial awareness by stimulating the vestibular system, which is responsible for maintaining equilibrium and body orientation. It can be done by spinning on a chair, using a spinning board, or performing specific movements such as cartwheels or somersaults. The spinning motion activates the sensory receptors in the inner ear, sending signals to the brain to help improve balance and coordination. This exercise can be beneficial for individuals with balance disorders, vertigo, or those looking to improve their overall balance and coordination.

    When to avoid this exercise

  • Sensory vestibular spinning exercises should be avoided in individuals who have a history of vertigo, dizziness, or motion sickness. These exercises involve rapid and repetitive spinning movements, which can trigger these symptoms and cause discomfort and disorientation. People with inner ear disorders, such as Meniere’s disease or labyrinthitis, should also avoid these exercises as they can worsen their condition. Additionally, individuals with neck or spine injuries or conditions, such as whiplash or herniated discs, should avoid spinning exercises as they can put strain on these areas and cause further injury. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before attempting any new exercise, especially if you have a history of any of these conditions.
