brandt daroff exercises without cawthorne Cooksey exercises. To begin the Brandt-daroff exercise, the patient will sit and swivel the head 45 degrees to one side (left), then instantly lie down on the other shoulder (right). The patient should be instructed to maintain this posture for 30 seconds or until the vertigo subsides. The patient then gradually returns to the starting position, maintaining the left ear rotation until sat upright. Following the same 30 second time limits, the patient turns his head in the opposite way (right) and rests down on the opposite shoulder (left). These exercises will be instructed to perform at home for 3 sets (morning, afternoon and evening) with 5 repetitions approximately for 30 minutes in each session for five weeks
