Head movements while standing

  1. Stand with a chair in front of you and a wall behind you. If you begin to fall, you can use them for support. Now stand with your feet together and your arms at your side.
  2. Move your head up and down 10 times.
  3. Move your head side to side 10 times.
  4. Move your head diagonally up and down 10 times.
  5. Move your head diagonally up and down 10 times on the other side.

Do this exercise 2 times a day. Try to progress to doing this 15 to 20 times for each head movement. Then try to do this with your eyes closed.
