Physical therapists trained in vestibular rehab can provide life-changing benefits to patients who suffer from dizziness and balance disorders. This course will equip you with the tools to evaluate symptoms in patients and determine the cause for dizziness, assessments after functional tests, and the most cutting-edge treatment strategies. You will learn strategies for a thorough, yet efficient evaluation and how to explain the rationale for your evaluation, techniques and subsequent treatments such as canalith repositioning, video goggles, rotary chairs and manual therapy.
Through a unique combination of instruction, hands-on lab, demonstrations and case studies, you will learn…
You will never have to tell your patient with dizziness, “I can’t help you.” You will leave this seminar with a toolbox full of strategies to implement immediately in your clinical practice!
