@helennicola finding the cause is half the battle for alleviating the problem but you won’t know unless you try to see what helps. For you, luckily you found a therapist who specialized in vertigo. Many doctors do not know. They write orders to start a therapy but it is the therapists who do the assessments, write down what they will do to help the patients meet their outcomes or goals, and have the doctor sign that document. The document becomes the orders for the therapist to follow because those instructions are approved by the doctor. The therapist can only follow orders approved by the doctor. Many times I have seen doctors approve what ever the therapist writes because they simply do not question what the therapist plans to do for the patient to meet his or her goals. I am glad the doctors allow the therapists to try since they themselves do not know. It’s all about experiences but I believe some doctors leave it up to others to learn from the experiences.
In my case, there are many variables. I do feel a pressure in my ears that maybe contribute to my balance problem. I don’t know but I keep trying different treatments to seek help. Thank you for your experience.

@avmcbellar Did you see your ENT or just your PCP ? It was my PCP that sent me to the ENT then he sent me to the vestibular specialist . I never did see any therapist as after a 2 hr testing with the specialist he sent me back to my ENT and was told to do these exercises and only had 1 short case of dizziness since did the exercise one time and so far haven't had any problems. Anything with your ear,, nose or throat you should see a ENT per the PCP
