       Many individuals have symptoms of lightheadedness or dizziness when gazing at a computer screen, which can be alleviated with balance exercises . Please see  http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now With the increase of time spent on computer screens and with the ever decreasing size of computer screens, many more people are experiencing symptoms of lightheadedness and dizziness. Medical researchers like Gillilan and Todd described a person for whom visual training was used to ameliorate the symptoms of motion sickness-- like nausea, dizziness and lightheadedness, which was visually induced by gazing at a computer terminal. For example, they followed a patient who was a 33-year-old woman who complained of dizziness, headaches, and nausea when working at her computer and of mild car sickness, which became severe if she attempted to read. She did specific balance exercises and eye motility exercises, which included visually tracking a ball in all directions, 30 minutes daily for 17 days. Initially, she performed the exercises with her head stationary, but the exercises were later modified to include rotation and lateral flexion head movements as symptoms decreased. Furthermore, an exercise program can be more effective by beginning the routine in a stable position like sitting and progressed to a more challenging stability position like standing. Although the patient reported nausea and eye fatigue during the first week of exercises, these symptoms disappeared by the end of the 3-week treatment. She was able to return to work at the computer and no longer had car sickness. On follow-up 2 years after treatment, she had no nausea, dizziness or motion sickness symptoms.

Balance Exercises For Computer Workers

      People who work many hours looking at a computer screen often experience symptoms of lightheadedness, nausea and dizziness that can be diminished with balance exercises. Medical researchers have proven the connection between input from the eyes and from the sense of touch from the feet into the balance system of the brain that effects whether we experience symptoms of nausea, dizziness or motion sickness. Consequently, individuals who undergo dizziness and nausea when looking at a computer screen for a long time, can reduce their symptoms by strengthening their balance system through practicing a series of eye exercises and balance exercises. Now, you can perform appropriate balance exercises in the comfort of your own home by following the direction of an experienced Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
