Vestibular therapy, any clues?

Hi, happy new year. I have made really good progress over the last year. Visual pattern glare corrected, built up automatic processes, reduced fatigue dramatically, cognitive improvements, 3D vision much better and spacial awareness greatly improved. Mental health went down hill but now seems to be balancing out.

I'm looking for further improvements and would like to find out about vestibular therapy etc. My right side ear area and jaw can get really painful and a high pitched sound hums in my ear. Also the right eye area and side of head gets tension patches, a sharp pain goes through my right eye on occasion, it's like a sharp long hot needle that's been pushed through the eye into the back of the head. I get neck pain right down into the throat and it makes me feel sick.

Any ideas and advice much appreciated.

Happy new year to tou and everyone.

I had vestibukar physiotherapy

Mainly for balamce issues and tk get me walking again

Cawthorne exercises good.

I've been told ivs still a vestibular disturbance.

I'm currently seeing another pysio who is working on my neck to hopefully relieve headaches and numbness over my face. I get shooting pains in back oc my head.

Nuchal group of muscles may be affected from concussion . Mine are continuing to contract but to a lesser degree.

I get the high pitched sound usually from outside noise or from trying to speak on a phone

I'm currently looking into a cranial

Osteopathy and neuro ophalmologist

Starting afresh as you suggested.

Cognitive functional therapy. Professor Peter o'Sullivan.

The pysio I see is experienced and is using the above way now it seems. I've only been 3 times so far.

Thanks Nackapan, just trying to see what I can improve next, neck, ear, eye area and head seem a good place to begin, an incremental change in one place could have a major effect on another. That's my thinking here, seems to have worked in other BI therapies.
