Dizziness? Vertigo? Spinning?

Found this image again. Nice map of structures and connections between them that are incredibly important. It may not just be crystals in your ear. I once saw a woman where dizziness was corrected by working her foot.

So, I would probably also include feet, but a quick list of structures to assess here:
-Temporal bones and TMJ
-C1
-Shoulder girdle, especially manubrium
- Pelvis, p***c bone and sits bones

Reflexes govern a lot of these connections, like Visual Righting or Labyrinthine.

How do you train reflexes??? What causes reflexes to diminish or disappear?

Pause.

Pause for a moment and ask yourself: How do I feel? And what do I feel?

Maybe you feel inspired, angry, or calm—that’s your emotional awareness. But emotions aren’t separate from your body; they are sensations too. What physical sensations accompany your emotions? Tightness in your chest? Warmth in your belly? Tingling in your fingers?

This practice of noticing both how you feel (emotionally) and what you feel (physically) creates a sensory relationship with your emotions. It grounds you in your body’s wisdom, allowing your nervous system to shift into a state of healing and restoration.

Take one minute today to ask yourself: How and what do I feel?

Notice the answers that arise, and trust your body’s intelligence.

The massage therapy profession does not have ANY research on CE and what is needed to continue to protect the public from harm. The Massage State Boards set the CE requirements in each state and it is arbitrarily set by whoever is on the Board. There are so many problems with CE and the CE approval process that it is time for things to change.
