Hello I’m not sure if this is the correct forum for this post, but I an a personal trainer and my client was diagnosed with Vestibular neuritis. I wanted to know if and how this will effect training. Also what would you recommend for training going forward. Doctor recommended PT. Thank you
My client was mistaken and this is his diagnosis
Diagnosis/ Symptoms: “BPPV of Left Ear”
Procedure: Vestibular Rehab
Special Instructions: evaluate and treat w/ Vestibular rehab regarding BPPV
BPPV = Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. I’d recommend finding a local clinician you can refer her to in order to help. In regards to training with you - I wouldn’t necessarily alter what I do but would monitor for increase in vertigo based on movements and make adjustments accordingly.

Thank you for your advice. I have another delema now the physical therapist that his doctor referred him to told him only to do light exercise (using the example of only cardio) , and absolutely no deadlift. I asked what the reasoning was for this and the therapist didn’t give him any. I’m just a little unclear how to proceed. Before this his doctor told him no exercise for 3 weeks. I just don’t know enough information to know if they are giving him good advice or is this something they are pulling out of thin air. It seem like they could be harming him from what they have told him he is afraid to do any exercise. I feel like they could have noceboed him.
