A must have clinical resource!

It can often feel like a complex maze finding the right approaches for our patients.
The Dizziness and Balance Assessments & Treatments - A Clinical Guide for Healthcare Professionals | 1st Edition (spiral bound & digital publication formats now available) simplifies assessments and interventions, offers clear progressions, and provides valuable insights for a better understanding when assessing and treating patients with dizziness and balance disorders.
That's why I wrote this clinical guide to provide the clinical resources and evidence-based treatment guidelines necessary for initiating and progressing treatment for patients experiencing dizziness and balance disorders. Drawing on my over 25 years of experience working with these patients, I've developed a comprehensive approach to assessment and treatment incorporating the latest vestibular, balance, and vision rehabilitation techniques.
This clinical guide is for students, practicing novice clinicians, and seasoned healthcare professionals looking to optimize outcomes and improve efficiency in their daily practice. It is expected that students will implement assessments and treatments under supervision. The clinician is also expected to have a strong foundation of application for tests and treatment activities across the lifespan to provide the most appropriate interventions for children and older adults.
A multi-sensory and functional approach offers a roadmap that can be tailored to individual patients and their unique circumstances. Every step, from initial assessment to treatment progressions, is based on the latest research and best practices, focusing on achieving long-term patient success.
I'm excited to share this wealth of knowledge with fellow healthcare professionals and hope it will become an indispensable resource in your practice. Whether you're just getting started in this specialty or have been practicing for years, this clinical guide provides the tools to confidently navigate the complexities of dizziness and balance disorders and deliver the best care possible to your patients.

This book makes it so you don’t need to carry around your self-made binder full of resources from a bunch of different courses or have access to your Google Drive. It’s all here and organized with an index - the vision, vestibular assessments, special tests with age-based norms where appropriate and the interventions for the above, complete with easy to follow progressions. It demystifies some of the more complex interventions that we hear about at conferences/on forums. It’s an excellent resource to share with co-workers that don’t have the vestibular background so they can understand what you’re doing and why. It saves time!
