Course
Description
This class focuses
on providing an excellent framework for the clinician to
effectively treat Vestibular disorders. Like all of our
courses, this course focuses on teaching clinicians to
actually treat disorders in this rapidly expanding area.
One of the strengths of this course is that it applies
to both clinicians without any Vestibular experience, providing
ample tools to treat Vestibular disorders, while still
maintaining the interest and expanding the capabilities
of of clinicians more experienced in the field of Vestibular
Rehabilitation. BPPV is covered at great length in this
course. |
