Summary
The person had months of dizziness and off-balance feelings before a doctor recommended vestibular therapy through SportsMed therapy services, after other treatments did little. The exercises were gentle, nothing like a gym workout, and the person reported a big improvement in how they felt, though it did not fix everything overnight.
