Course Highlights:

• Focused 5-week rehabilitation pathway designed around real clinical practice

• Weekly live mentoring case discussions 

• Rehabilitation-focused vestibular, balance, gait and functional assessment

• Evidence-based management of BPPV, including posterior, horizontal and anterior canal variants

• Structured rehabilitation for unilateral and bilateral vestibular hypofunction

• Practical management of PPPD, vestibular migraine, visual motion sensitivity and post-concussion dizziness

• Rehabilitation strategies for age-related imbalance and falls

• Exercise prescription covering gaze stabilisation, habituation, sensory reweighting, balance, gait and conditioning

• Practical guidance on exercise dose, progression and home programmes

• Use of validated outcome measures to track recovery and guide discharge

• Introduction to technology-assisted rehabilitation, including posturography, VR and visual-motion tools

• 3-day intensive hands-on training with practical stations, case integration and competency assessment

​

Course Outcomes

By the end of the program, participants should be able to:

• Identify patients who are likely to benefit from vestibular rehabilitation and recognise when reassessment or referral is required.

• Perform a rehabilitation-focused vestibular, balance, gait and functional assessment.

• Assess and treat common BPPV variants using appropriate positional tests and repositioning manoeuvres.

• Design and progress individualised rehabilitation programs for unilateral and bilateral vestibular hypofunction.

• Adapt rehabilitation for PPPD, visual motion sensitivity, vestibular migraine, post-concussion dizziness and age-related imbalance.

• Prescribe gaze-stabilisation, habituation, balance, gait, sensory-reweighting, conditioning and functional exercises appropriately.

• Use vestibular investigation findings pragmatically to guide rehabilitation planning.

• Select and interpret appropriate outcome measures to guide progression and discharge.

• Design practical home exercise programs that encourage adherence, independence and return to meaningful activity.

Eligibility

Physiotherapists / Physical Therapists interested in developing or expanding their clinical practice in vestibular rehabilitation and balance therapy.

The program is also suitable for:

• Neurologists

• ENT Specialists and Neurotologists 

• Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapists

• Audiologists involved in vestibular rehabilitation

• Occupational Therapists

• Rehabilitation clinicians

• Rehabilitation Physicians

• Clinicians with a direct role in balance and vestibular rehabilitation

​

Pedagogy

The program combines structured online learning with case-based mentoring and intensive practical training.

​​Participants will learn through:

• Expert-led video lectures

• Rehabilitation-focused clinical demonstrations

• Weekly live case discussions and mentoring

• Case-based clinical reasoning

• Practical exercise prescription and progression

• Home-program design

• Outcome-measure interpretation

• Hands-on assessment and treatment stations

• Integrated patient scenarios

• Final practical competency assessment

• The emphasis throughout the course is on translating vestibular science into practical, individualised rehabilitation programs that can be applied in day-to-day clinical practice.

​

Assessment & Certification

• Continuous assessment (quizzes + case reflections), skills checklists in workshop, capstone case defense

• Certificate upon meeting attendance, assessment, and practical competency thresholds (co-branding with partner institutions where applicable)
