    69 | Dizzy, Off-Balance, or Just Spinning Out? A Vestibular PT Explains Everything

    If you’ve ever been told “your dizziness will go away on its own” — this episode is for you. This week on The Beauty Lab Podcast, hosts Monina and Velia welcome vestibular physical therapist Shana Townsend, PT, founder of Balance Solutions Rehab. With over 30 years of PT experience, Shana specializes in treating vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, concussions, and vestibular migraine — and she is here to explain exactly what’s going wrong inside your ear (and your brain) when the room starts spinning. In this episode you’ll learn what BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) actually is and why those "loose crystals" cause vertigo with position changes; why vestibular migraine can look identical to an inner ear problem but originates in the brain; what the Epley maneuver does — and why doing it for the wrong ear makes things worse; the tools Shana keeps in her personal migraine rescue kit; the most important stroke warning sign that looks like simple dizziness; and how to find a vetted vestibular therapist near you. Whether you are perimenopausal and newly dizzy, recovering from a concussion, or just curious about that strange spinning you had once at the dentist — this episode will change the way you understand your body.
