Three techniques of cranial osteopathy were used on the structures related to vestibule and to the temporal bones: mobilization of temporal bones, tensioning of cerebellar tentorium and mobilization of eyeball. All statistical analyzes were performed using the GraphPad Prism 6.0 software (GraphPad Software, CA).Results: Among the intervention group, 7 of 10 individuals were negative to the Dix-Hallpike test, whilst individuals of the control group remained positive to the test.
