Dizziness, vertigo and imbalance are common symptoms and vestibular rehabilitation provides effective evaluation and treatment. Physiotherapists have a key role in evidence-based care for individuals with vestibular dysfunction. In this one day course, you will be introduced to a systematic approach to managing patients with dizziness.
