Practical Strategies in Vestibular Rehabilitation Certificate Course

Gain more insight into developing targeted questions for the intake to create a working and differential diagnosis. Learn the guiding principles of vestibular rehabilitation and how to transition from exam findings to interventions.

This course expands on our Introduction to Vestibular Rehabilitation Certificate Course by Kendal Reddell, PT, DPT, NCS. This course starts with a discussion on the value of establishing a trusting connection with patients, the importance of establishing an early diagnosis, and the impact of a delayed diagnosis. You gain more insight into developing targeted questions for the intake to create a working and differential diagnosis to aid you in what vestibular and/or bedside tests are indicated. You will also learn the guiding principles of vestibular rehabilitation and how to transition from exam findings to interventions. You will also hear a discussion on age-related vestibular findings and learn the importance of customizing the care plan. The content of this course was primarily designed to provide a foundation for more advanced, Certificate of Competency in Vestibular Rehabilitation (CCVR) Course. The objectives of this course are targeted toward a better understanding of vestibular-related concepts in the preparation of the CCVR coursework and competency-based skills as a more advanced practitioner.

Visual-Vestibular-Cervical Integration Training Post-Concussion Masterclass


This masterclass focuses on vestibular assessment and treatment approaches post-concussion for ages 14 and older. You'll have access to the Concussion Clinical Profiles (CP) Screen, which extends on previous symptom inventory questionnaires by evaluating symptoms more specifically to better identify clinical profiles and target clinical care.

You'll also learn how to transfer findings from concussion-related balance assessments into treatment progressions, consider the various options in vestibulo-ocular reflex training, integrate basic visual rehab activities when appropriate, identify cervicogenic components post-head trauma, and have exposure to clinical pearls in both current and future trends in concussion management.

With this masterclass, you get video training with instructors who take you through the course material step-by-step. You also receive community support, concussion-specific questionnaires, screening & exam references, treatment ideas, sample home programs, and case studies.
