An exercise-based therapy that treats vertigo, dizziness and balance disorders by retraining the vestibular system. It is used in Long COVID patients with persistent vestibular symptoms.
The first six weeks or so of the PT helped my vestibular symptoms (dizziness, balance, etc), but then they started ramping up the exercise at each session until I was doing pretty intense workouts a couple times a week. They "graduated" me for completing the program and recommended I continue the exercises at home. I didn't realize it at the time (I hadn't heard of PEM), but I believe it harmed me in the long run. My baseline went down significantly over the following months, until I could no longer even go on a daily 10-min walk.
