Dizziness, tinnitus, gait disturbances, sleeplessness, double vision…
This vast range of symptoms makes vestibular rehab complex. And getting treatments wrong can severely delay your outcomes, leaving even the most seasoned clinician frustrated, intimidated, and apprehensive to take on new vestibular cases.
But when patients show up at your clinic looking for answers, it’s disappointing to always need to refer them to other providers.
That’s why we partnered with Jamie Miner, PT, DP, GCS, a leading expert in vestibular dysfunction, to bring you an intensive training with everything you need to know about treating this patient population.
In this intensive training, Jamie shares powerful new techniques you can use – no matter your discipline – to navigate the essential elements of vestibular rehab.
You’ll walk away with an adaptable, sure-fire approach to help these patients – without spending thousands of dollars on countless education courses.
You’ll discover:
A step-by-step comprehensive assessment and screening process to lead you to the right diagnosis
How to identify red flags most clinicians miss and rule out competing symptoms
Actionable, easy-to-apply treatment strategies for the most complex hypo/ hyperfunctions of vestibular dysfunction
Sign up today and unlock the skills you need to immediately transition your treatment interventions and stand by your clinical decisions.
Speaker:
Jamie Miner, PT, DPT, GCS, provides specialized services to many skilled nursing facilities and earned geriatric clinical specialist designation through the American Physical Therapy Association. She has experience in home health, acute care, outpatient vestibular rehab and fall prevention, acute rehab, sub-acute rehab, and long-term care. Additionally, she serves as a clinical instructor to many doctoral physical therapy students. Jamie graduated with a BS degree in PT from UNC Chapel Hill, a DPT from Shenandoah University in March 2003.

Develop a comprehensive framework for evaluation.
Interpret evaluation findings appropriately.
Differentiate root causes of dizziness, vertigo, and vestibular disorders.
Determine appropriate candidates for vestibular rehabilitation.
Demonstrate maneuvers, rolls, thrusts, gaze stabilization exercises, and other vestibular rehabilitation techniques.
Explain clinical rationale for applying each technique.
Describe indications and contraindications for vestibular rehabilitation techniques.
Combine multiple approaches for better outcomes, including balance training, vestibular rehabilitation, gaze stabilization, targeted exercises and more.
Integrate therapy protocols for reducing dizziness, vertigo, and vestibular disorders.
Design comprehensive plans of care for a wide range of vestibular diagnoses.
Formulate strategies for addressing related symptoms, including migraines, neck pain, nausea and anxiety.
Apply the assessments and interventions discussed in this seminar to a series of interactive case scenarios.
Justify therapy with applicable progress measures.
Illustrate appropriate coding, billing, and documentation for vestibular disorders.
