Half Somersault Manuever
BPPV has been characterized as the most common form of vertigo and the “half somersault maneuver” or otherwise described as “Foster Maneuver” has been working wonders in treating this condition. The inner ear has three semicircular canals which are interconnected by fluid pathways and have gravity sensors in them. These are being capped by bed of crystals which may be dislodged from where they are and enter into any of the canals or other parts of the ear. When the dislodgement happens and crystals get into the semicircular canals, a mechanical disorder happens. The system will function incorrectly and the tilting motions of the said crystals will be interpreted as intense dizziness.

Vertigo Relief: Treat Vertigo in Seconds Using the Half Somersault Manuever
In this article, we discuss various approaches to treating vertigo symptoms and ways to find a relief from this debilitating feeling. One of the best and most effective options is Half Somersault maneuver that is an exercise designed to bring relief by restoring the otoconia (inner ear crystals) to their natural position. You will learn how to prepare for and perform the maneuver.
An Easy Fix for Vertigo
Dr. Foster has developed an additional maneuver for home use, called the half-somersault, that is done kneeling on the floor. Mr. Amberger found it online and reports that “it works stunningly well.” Dr. Foster’s initial trial with 68 patients using it at home showed that the half somersault was as effective as a self-administered Epley, but it’s still so new that studies replicating her results haven’t been published.
A Comparison of Two Home Exercises for Benign Positional Vertigo: Half Somersault versus Epley Maneuver
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) frequently recurs after treatment, so a home exercise would be desirable. We designed a self-administered exercise, the half somersault, for home use. In this randomized single-blind study, we compare the efficacy of our exercise to self-administered Epley maneuvers in patients with BPPV.
