The Brandt–Daroff exercises are performed in a similar fashion to the Semont maneuver; however, as the person rolls onto the unaffected side, the head is rotated toward the affected side.
Exercise plus joint manipulation has been found to be beneficial in both acute and chronic mechanical neck disorders. [14] In particular, specific strengthening exercise may improve function and pain. [15] Motor control using cranio-cervical flexion exercises has been shown to be effective for non-specific chronic neck pain. [16]
Dizziness is a common medical complaint, affecting 20–30% of persons.

[34] Active rotation exercises in supine, sitting or prone position by using toys, lights and sounds to attract infant's attention to turn ...
