You’ll learn: ✔️ how BPPV feels differently from neck dizziness ✔️ signs your dizziness may be coming from the neck ✔️ why posture and neck tension matter ✔️ common symptoms of inner ear vertigo ✔️ one common exercise/maneuver associated with each condition Many people experience: spinning sensations, imbalance, floating feelings, fogginess, motion sensitivity, or dizziness with neck movement…but the underlying cause can be VERY different.
