Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialty area of physical therapy practice. I have been treating vestibular patients for over 20 years and have recognized that there is a significant need for more skilled clinicians, especially in rural areas. Vestibular rehab continuing education coursework offered through vestibularPT.com was developed to provide quality education to PT's and OT's to increase access for patients with vestibular disorders to skilled clinicians. We offer a beginner to indermediate level hybrid course for DPT and OT students and clinicians in coordination with colleges and universities as well as courses for facilities to raise the level of knowledge and access within their facility.
