Gravity Reset

Gravity Reset is a specialized therapeutic technique used to decrease symptoms of dizziness, unsteadiness, and balance instability. It involves resetting the balance between the Visual System, Vestibular System, and the Somatosensory (body) System which causes balance issues and dizziness leading to falls.

What Is Gravity Reset?

Gravity Reset is a therapeutic approach that retrains how the brain integrates balance information from three major systems:

  1. Visual System – what you see

  2. Vestibular System – your inner ear (movement, head position, gravity)

  3. Somatosensory System – body awareness from muscles, joints, and skin

When these systems fall out of sync, the brain receives conflicting signals, which can cause:

  • Dizziness

  • Unsteadiness

  • Disorientation

  • Balance instability

  • Increased fall risk

Gravity Reset aims to restore alignment between these systems, so the brain can accurately interpret where the body is in space.

​Why balance problems happen

Your brain is constantly asking:

“Where am I in relation to gravity?”

If:

  • The eyes say one thing

  • The inner ear says another

  • The body says something else

The brain struggles to resolve the mismatch, leading to symptoms like:

  • Feeling pulled to one side

  • Rocking or swaying sensations

  • Lightheadedness

  • Fear of falling

  • Difficulty walking straight

Gravity Reset addresses the mismatch, not just the symptoms.

How Gravity Reset works (conceptually)

Gravity Reset uses specific, controlled movements and sensory inputs to:

  • Re-establish accurate gravity perception

  • Improve vestibular-visual coordination

  • Strengthen body awareness and postural control

  • Calm protective overreactions in the nervous system

Rather than strengthening muscles, it focuses on retraining the brain’s balance maps.

Think of it as:

Recalibrating your internal “level”

 

What a Gravity Reset session may involve

Depending on the practitioner, this can include:

  • Head and eye movement coordination

  • Postural alignment exercises

  • Controlled shifts in body position

  • Sensory loading or unloading (visual, vestibular, or body input)

  • Gentle balance challenges matched to the individual

The key is precision, not intensity.

 

Conditions Gravity Reset is commonly used for

  • Chronic dizziness

  • Vestibular disorders

  • Post-concussion symptoms

  • Balance instability

  • Fall risk in older adults

  • Motion sensitivity

  • Unsteadiness without a clear orthopedic cause

It is often used alongside:

  • Vestibular rehabilitation

  • Physical therapy

  • Functional neurology

  • Brain-based exercise programs

 

Safety & effectiveness

  • Generally gentle and low risk

  • Highly individualized

  • Most effective when guided by assessment

  • Progress is often gradual but meaningful

⚠️ Important note:
Gravity Reset is not a single standardized medical protocol—it’s a therapeutic concept or method that may be implemented differently depending on the clinic or practitioner.

 

Bottom line

Gravity Reset is a targeted therapy that:

  • Addresses dizziness and balance issues at the brain-integration level

  • Rebalances visual, vestibular, and body systems

  • Helps the brain correctly interpret gravity again

  • Reduces instability and fall risk
