Half somersault for displaced otoconia ("BPPV half-somersault maneuver" Inner ear canalith repositioning; 01)

Start on your knees, and tip your head all the way back to look up at the ceiling.
Hold this position for a few seconds.
Don't be alarmed if you feel some spinning at this point.
In one fluid movement, tip your head upside down, tucking your chin in and lifting your hips up into the air.
Your head should be over the vertical point, tucked under towards your knees.
In this position, move your head towards the elbow on your symptomatic side.
For example, if your dizziness is more severe when you lie on your left side, turn your head towards your left elbow.
Ensure you keep your head upside down.
You will feel the spinning in this position.
Stay here until the spinning completely stops, and then quickly lift your head and body to the horizontal.
Your head should stay turned towards your symptomatic side.
Remain here until the spinning stops, and then bring yourself completely upright so that you are kneeling.
Again, you head should stay turned to your symptomatic side.
This process may have to be repeated again later, should it not resolve the issue first time around.
It is usually good to leave it for 15 minutes if not longer, before repeating the sequence.
