Vikki,
I'm not sure if this is quite the same as you are thinking of, but
about 15 years ago a patient with vertigo problems was referred to
me. My superintendent physio at the time suggested Cooksey-Cook
exercises, which I hadn't heard of, but I found some reference to
them in an older physio text book at that time (probably ancient by
now, and I've no idea of the title.) I've just found some similar
exercises in the second edition (1979) of "Cash Textbook of
Physiotherapy in Some Surgical Conditions" (p 103) - although it
doesn't mention Cawthorne, Cooksey or Cook! I remember these sorts
of exercises helped my patient at that time - I'd be interested to
know if these exercises help travel sickness. If you can't find a
copy of this edition of the book, I could probably send or fax you a
photocopy if you'd like - although maybe other folk have some rather
more up-to-date info?
Hope this may be of some help?
