Course Overview

The course is divided into two stages.

Days 1–2 provide an introductory, evidence-based approach to assessing and managing dizziness, vertigo, motion sensitivity, compromised gaze stability and imbalance resulting from peripheral and central vestibular disorders.

The programme includes treatment manoeuvres for BPPV, practical assessment and treatment techniques for chronic vestibular dysfunction, and discussion of the expanding role of vestibular rehabilitation in concussion management.

Day 3 builds on the introductory content with advanced vestibular rehabilitation, including vision assessment, persistent post-concussive symptoms, selected otological and non-otological pathologies, case studies and advanced clinical application.

What You Will Learn

Understand vestibular-system neurophysiology and pathophysiology.
Identify, assess and treat variants of BPPV.
Develop exercise-based programming for individuals with chronic vestibular dysfunction.
Review the role of vestibular rehabilitation in concussion management.
Explore vision assessment and selected interventions related to persistent post-concussive symptoms.

Days 1–2 — Introductory Vestibular Rehabilitation

Day 3 — Advanced Vestibular Rehabilitation
