Sister-in-law is a physical therapist who was trained in the Epley maneuver several years ago before most doctors or PTs had heard about it. Patients who had suffered for years were so grateful when their symptoms abated. It seemed truly miraculous to them.

So about two years ago, her older dog was stumbling occasionally and seemed to be dizzy. She put the darn thing on an examining table, did the maneuver and lo and behold it worked.

By the way, she would say that although you can do the exercises yourself, it helps to have someone else perform them. I suppose you may be a little conservative in the maneuver as you start to feel the room spinning.

DD has had about three episodes. She performed the moves on herself, but since she had someone else perform it on her, there has not been a reoccurrence.
