Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness: Detailed Recovery Pages

Thirteen original entries expand one-to-one into thirteen detailed pages. This collection overview is an additional navigation document. The earlier audit’s count of twelve was incorrect; [see the verified original-entry mapping](../../../docs/project/recovery-technique-history-audit.md#persistent-postural-perceptual-dizziness).

Recovery Techniques › Symptom overview

Start with an assessed difficulty and one useful next step. PPPD is a persistent condition, not a label for every dizzy spell. Fainting, new ear symptoms and neurological changes need their own assessment. You do not need to try every option, and participation with aids or assistance counts.

Pages 1–7 cover selecting and adapting rehabilitation. Page 8 discusses optional psychological support within rehabilitation; page 9 keeps other conditions in the plan. Pages 10–12 are discussions of technology, experimental stimulation and medication, not instructions for self-treatment. Page 13 helps plan care during flares.

  1. Building a Vestibular Rehabilitation Plan That Fits You
  2. Practising Head and Body Movement in Manageable Steps
  3. Making Sitting, Standing and Walking More Manageable
  4. Making Busy Visual Settings More Manageable
  5. Using Gaze-Stability Exercises Only When They Fit
  6. Practising Balance and Walking With Appropriate Support
  7. Returning to Places and Activities That Matter
  8. Working With Worry and Attention During Vestibular Rehabilitation
  9. Keeping Other Causes of Dizziness in the Care Plan
  10. Considering Supervised Visual-Motion or Virtual-Reality Practice
  11. Discussing Experimental Stimulation With a Specialist
  12. Discussing an SSRI or SNRI With Your Prescriber
  13. Making a Plan for Flares and Changing Dizziness

Each page explains the concept before practical steps and has person, supporter, clinician and research sections. Treatment-package evidence does not validate every component separately. Gaze exercises need an assessed indication; visual practice should be controllable; equipment and human support can remain throughout recovery.
