Tilt Training

[AussieOI]

I have been reading a bit about Tilt Training and wondered if people have tried it and how sucessful it was?

It sounds an interesting idea and seems to make sense trying to 'train' the body to be able to stand again, although I appreciate it is not that simple otherwise everyone would just do it and be cured!

I would think you would have to start slowly as you could feel pretty bad if you overdid it.

I am. It's very hard. My dr told me if I can get to 10-15 mins I'll start to see an improvement in my symptoms. Right now I'm at 4 mins and feeling like its my threshold.

I did it for a while at the suggestion of the physician who did my TTT. It was difficult to tolerate but I thought it was worth a try.

Thanks guys for your replies

Here is a link to a site I have found

'I hate bananas' - interesting that your doctor quoted the 10-15 minute threshold. I think I will start it tonight and stop standing the minute I feel strange!

I do it unofficially every time I get a relapse then return to work in that slowly my body gets used to it or probably more likely just gets better on its own.
